I am a Mopar guy to the core. Have been my whole mopar driving life.
It is all I will buy and is all I own. Currently 6 vehicles ranging in age from 1928 to 1986.
I am sure I will ruffle a few feathers out their with my opinion of Chrysler today but I say just kill the name altogether like they did with Desoto or Plymouth. Better than attaching the badge to anything they will make available to us anyway.
I have been nothing but disappointed with their products since the lean burn era. I realize they had to learn a whole new way of building a automobile (copy the Japanese import)to save the company but the k car?
All they had to do to get me to buy a new car was to offer a low to medium price line 2 door coupe V8 manual trans rear wheel drive in whatever new or old name they wanted to call it.
I'm talking about a car a large percentage of their loyal consumers could afford.
It stopped for me with the end of the volare aspen models.
If they had reintroduced the charger in the 2 door as it had always been in the past i would have bought one. 4 doors on a charger. What were they thinking. Deal killer for me.
I was all excited with buzz of the new challenger getting past the prototype. Even seen price estimates that looked good but by the time it got to the dealerships it no longer fit in most buyers price range. What a mistake that seems to be. Thee cars should be all over the roads in a base model without all the expensive options.
. It worked for them with the old road runner, man did they sell a lot of them in 69.
It appears a new Mopar is not gonna happen for me. Its just sad to look back at all the legendary vehicles that I hold at the top of my list as great that Chrysler produced and now they don't have one I would even consider. Haven't since the 80s. Still waiting on them to get it right, if they don't I only have use for their old products.
