What would yall think of this?

Question

These are a couple of things i think Chrysler should do to make all right in the muscle car world.

1. They should take the Challenger, give it a correct grill, and call it a Cuda, Giving it a special cuda' correct paint job. It should be available in three colors- Sublime Green, Plum Crazy Purple, and Banana Yellow.

2. To compensate for the charger being a sedan, they should take the charger, make it a coupe, change up the front end a little bit, and call it the roadrunner.

I think this should be done just too make things right as they once were, with Dodge having a similar cousin. I know they would both sell tremendesly well, especially the roadrunner, because they hacked off a lot of people by turning the charger into a sedan.
There's one problem though, Chrysler seems incapable of making sports cars (case in point the crossfire), they are a luxury brand. But we can always dream, can't we?

Answer 1

I thought the Crossfire was actually pretty decent, its not a muscle car its a road-racer that is built upon handling and how it takes the corners. If you are being so narrow as to define Sports Cars as which ever has the bigger engine, please go back to the 1960s and stay there.

As to the concept of a 2 door Cuda or Roadrunner, it will fail. Chrysler has to make cars for todays world, and todays market is a new one. Few if any new car buyers (as in young people, the ones Chrysler desperately needs) know the ins and outs of the old days and musclecardom. Many hear the word "Plymouth" and instantly think "old persons car." Maybe one or two knows of a little car called the Prowler.

The reason Chrysler went with a 4-door sedan is obvious: new car buyers need utility AND functionality, not just power. So by building a sedan they can drop in a V6 and compete in the family car market, and when a V8 is put it you have a car that smokes Mustangs over and over again.

Maybe you have not noticed, but Chrysler is not making a lot of money. In fact, its losing money. Chrysler cannot just start tearing names out of its past and start making cars for the few people out there still buying them (obviously if a lot of people were buying them they would not be in financial shennanigans would they?). This is not a time for Chrysler to rally its base, they know their base of old people and rednecks is still there. No, Chrysler has to tap new customers if it wants to avoid downsizing and lay-offs, which will just hack off existing customers. Hence, either way, Chrysler is going to be hacking off existing customers as it has to do more than just serve them.

Go ahead, go around your local college campuses and ask seniors and graduates what the Roadrunner is or what the Charger is. Many will tell you the Charger is a 4 door sedan and a long time ago was a muscle car, but if anyone knows what the Roadrunner is then they will be in the minority for sure.

Its time to move on. Yall.

Answer 2

I think they should make a coupe out of the Charger and sell it as a Chrysler. As long as they don’t market it as a 2 door Chrysler 300. Seeing how both the Cuda and the Roadrunner were both sold as Plymouths, Chrysler probably will not reuse those names. As for the colors some people will be turned off by the bright colors of their cars so if they have 2 more regular color then it would sell. Either way if Chrysler want to make right in the muscle car, or any car segment, then they need to build better rattle free cars with better fit and finish.

Answer 3

Sounds like a winning formula to me. Let's add one more touch -- a Superbird wing car package like the ones of the late sixties that stormed NASCAR and shocked the muscle car world to it's core. Now THAT would be a walk on the wild side!

Answer 4

can't have mopar muscle without lemon twist & hemi orange...... I think they shouldn't have killed off plymouth either. bring back challenger AND barracuda. charger shoulda been a big coupe, not a sedan, and yes, a road runner cousin.

Answer 5

I say it the two procedures. with the help of how the term yankee refers to all individuals who lives interior the U. S.,and traditionally the term in many circumstances refers to citizens of recent England,and in 1758 a British time-honored named James Wolfe talked with reference to the recent England squaddies as yanks or yankee's. Mark Twain used the term too"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court docket.
