its official. cool, but only comes with the 305hp v6. should have put a turbo or v8 in it

I think it makes sense, 6cyl AWD would be a hot option for people who live in places where is snows and want a near 30mpg cool car to commute year round in

I agree, it makes it much more palatable to those in snow country. plus, you can always supercharge it  :lol:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HO56IWQIBw

My first thought is they fumbled the ball near the goal line. Cool car but.......V6?

I'd assume the V8 will be next as all the Charger cop cars around here are AWD with a Hemi.

I've heard rumors that the next upgrade is a turbo Pentastar v6, the v8 AWD is off the table. makes some sense since it looks like 450hp on stock internals and 8lbs boost is very doable with the RIPP kit, so the next logical step is forged internals and turbos for 500+hp
