Hopefully something like a Toyobaru competitor......  ;D .....oh wait..... :'( ......its Fiatsler....they will do something tragically wrong for the sake of cost cutting or focus groups and the car will come out flawed.
Lighten up Francis.....

They are reinventing the whole company, why not?   Can't blame Fiat for dark days of Daimler.  I'm curious to see what they can do.   In the crowded field of mid sized cars rear wheel drive and an available Hemi might be what they need to stand out.

IIRC the new Challenger will be on the same new smaller platform.

Good I always thought it was too big. I liked the styling but always thought it should be 3/4 of what it was.
