This looks great. The challenger has always been one of the best looking cars on the road, their design team really nails it.

I cannot stand musk and I will never buy one of his cars but I must admit I would not mind driving a Plaid for a day just to scare my self silly.

Nope nobody has any creativity anymore. same goes for new movies out there. All they do is remake old movies or take a spin off one. Lame

To paraphrase the article you linked yourself, EVs will be alongside ICE vehicles and they are moving to a platform that will accomodate both platforms. Chrysler just spent a lot of development time and money on an inline 6. Terribly hard to read a short article I gather....
My general impression is that an in-line six is a better engine than a V-8. A bucket list car is an E34 M5. The S38 is some kind of monster engine.

No offense to anyone here but the 2011 edition of Car Guys Versus The Bean Counters explains what’s wrong with the modern auto industry in my humble opinion.
