Sad news for Dodge fans

[Friend of Dorothy]

So how does the whole ADR thing work, in regards to changing a USA built vehicle to be sold in Australia.........

Seems we will have UN design rules: https://practicalmotoring.com.au/car-news/australian-vehicle-design-rules-to-align-with-international-standards/

That would be a big step in the right direction!

Another 10 years? Just like every other govt. project....

This is great for Australia. Productivity will go up because your citizens will spend less time waiting at dealerships for their Dodge to get fixed... again.

With ADR, my point with the 300C was there is bugger all difference between the North American version to the Australian one, except for RHD.
Granted it does not have bonnet scoops, (but looking at photos of some of the Dodge bonnet model range, there would have been something compliant), there would have been minor changes for the 300C (brake light indicators?)to be ADR compliant.
Don't blame ADR for us losing all the North American Mustang bits, blame the European laws that our "export version" got stuck with.
Dodge/Chrysler/Fiat market analysts got this one wrong (again).

we don't really need any new camaro's or dodge's with the "new commodore" :lol::lol::lol:

Who doesn't want that sweet sweet V6 or turbo desiel noise???

(i'm allowed to rag on it as my current car is a SSZ :rant: )

I'm pretty sure all the Holden fans will be the same as i am and call it an abomination and not worthy of the commodore name. The commodore and falcon were interstate cruisers. Drive along at low rpm with the family for hours on end.

Oh I hear you. Remember when Ford pulled the covers off the AU Falcon. I almost had a heart attack from how ugly the styling was. The car was crying "kill me, I'm so depressed" from the front and the back. Worst looking Falcon of all time. I have the feeling the Holden guys will be the same from the pics in that article.

My first preference was a Dodge Charger Hellcat, but I got fed up waiting so plumped for the Mustang in June. Just as well given this news.
