I'd have considered a Charger with two doors an a manual transmission. We'll see what Dodge comes out with next. I can't imagine the answer would be "nothing" or "electric only."

You are talking about a company that is so relatively development poor they have been producing literally the same pony cars for 13 years with minimal updates.

From the original article- "While back in August, Dodge hinted that its traditional muscle cars could stay for a short period beyond 2024, that no longer seems to be the case."

They don't have the budget to build a new chassis, and anyway why would they, when the clearly are pushing electrification and the shelf-life of a new ICE chassis would be 5-10 years tops.

Keeps prices in check sure when there is competition, but that hurts the consumer when there is no competition doesnt it?

Would not be surprised if nothing or electric only. I think the platform is just too old to meet all company and govt goals at a reasonable cost.

This - while not my first choice, I completely respect them for what they are ..... a true old school muscle car and a great competitor ...they will be missed

will be interesting to see what they are replaced with

We all knew it was coming, but I have to say that is sooner than I expected. I never really wanted to own a Challenger, but they are very good looking cars and I will miss seeing them on the road
The trend is undeniable. I wanted a naturally aspirated, manual, RWD car because I cannot imagine what's going to be available in just five years time. Enjoy our Mustangs boys & girls.
