The argument that a 2dr won`t sell is crap with the new Mustang out.I see 4 times the amount of `stangs on the road as I see Magnums and Chargers combined.
What about OTHER new 2 door cars? I don't know about you, but other than those XXXXXXX plastic 4 banger cars, like the Cavalier or the Civic, I see VERY few new 2 door cars.
The Mustang sells, BECAUSE it's the Mustang. The fanbase of the Mustang ALONE is bigger than the ENTIRE Mopar fanbase. THAT'S how big it is. THAT'S why it sells, NOT because it's a sporty 2 door. Same with alot of the Corvette's sales. Fanbase. People buy them, just because of the name on the glovebox.
As for letting the Dodge nameplates rest, Why? They are Dodges, which is still around, unlike Plymouth. And, it is a DEFINATE fact that the new Challenger will be a TWO DOOR PONY CAR, so don't bring up that "4 door" bullcrap. There is NOTHING wrong with a company trying to get money based on a name. Look at the Roadrunner. Plymouth used a Warner Bros. cartoon charactor, to help sell their new performance B body. Duster is the same way. There is no difference whatsoever, and, yet, I don't hear anyone XXXXXX about THAT name...
I have a serious question. Why are 4 doors so bad? Does it hurt performance? Does it make the car weaker, or more likely to fall apart?
The answer is, NO. 4 doors doesn't hurt the car AT ALL. Maybe some added weight, but, not much. The performance of the new Charger MORE than makes up for the 2 extra doors, and those 2 extra doors will help it sell more cars.
Frankly, I'm sick and tired of all the XXXXXXX about the new Charger. We FINALLY get a V-8 RWD car from Dodge, (after, what, 20 years or so?) and everyone STILL complains about it! "Oh, I don't like how it looks." "Oh, the 4 doors blah blah blah" GIVE ME A BREAK! Would you rather go back to the OH so great FWD 4 cylinder K CAR? Jesus, people! Instead of complaining about the little things, you all should be GLAD that DCX has taken a step in the right direction. But, I guess nobody else sees it like that. Shame....
Rant off.
