It’s too bad if Chrysler doesn’t itncodure a competitive 4/5 door sub compacts in the US. Not only would this improve their fleet average MPG, but would help them reduce their reliance on larger vehicles for sales.Regarding Fiat, well they must bring the next generation Bravo and Grande Punto to the US, as well as the refreshed Mito, Guilietta and Guila.If they really want to avoid product overlap, what was the point of retaining both Chrysler and Dodge post restructuring? The way they’re going right now, neither Dodge nor Chrysler will have a competitor in every class.Dodge will have competitors for the Focus and Edge, Chrysler will have the minivan (which doesn’t sell as well and has poorer recognition than the Grand Caravan) and a Camry competitor, as well as the rebadged Delta – it just doesn’t make sense. IMHO, it would have been much more productive for them to axe the slower selling brand and have a competitive product in every class of mainstream vehicles in the US from that brand.

You market a performance vehicle to the public and not being able to modify or increase performance alienates your customers. I am too aware that the bottom line is profits being a business. Being a loyal Mopar man I feel cheated when I read about modification and additional power being available to the Mustang and Camaro owners.

I don’t know if these are caused by torque stress or temperature change but they are there!
Dodge keeps telling me they have never heard of this issues but if I go on Dodge Challenger Forums, other people are having this issue. The Dodge dealer is giving me a hard time so I filed a case with Dodge online. Will Dodge fix my problem and possibly do quality control on the Challenger body?

Any plans for improvement?

2) Any plans for an official spare tire kit for our SRT8 Challengers? Driving cross country w/o a spare just seems a little dicey.

Two quick important questions:

1. Why have you locked aftermarket tuners out of the Challenger’s boot loader/PCM?

2. Why is the sheet metal of the Dodge Challenger so thin it can’t even hold up your average super model without denting and needing body work? (Don’t say gas millage.)

I bought one just to find out I can not mod it. Thinking about selling for a gm that I can mod.

Saleen has produced an absolutely brilliant sublime green 570 Challenger, and I’d really like to buy one from Dodge. thank you.
