Seems like the 300 is an obvious choice. Not sure why it hasn’t been done.
I drove a 2015 300s with the Hemi V8 and finally gave up and got my Hellcat... a Charger Hellcat that is. You have no idea how many times I wrote Chrysler including Mike Manley. It just made sense to do it since both cars are built on the same assembly line. And there were a lot of us clamoring for the Hellcat 300 or 300 SuperS to no avail. Heck, they are dropping it on the Grand Cherokee. I don't know.

FCA saying the 2021 Durango Hellcat is going to be a 1 year run due to gub'ment regs seems to be a harbinger of the future ....................

That + the crazies about to take office will kill off many of the hi-po ICE offerings. Just wait till they start taxing the crap out of gas (like the euro commies do), I'll bet serious $$ we will be seeing $5/gal+ gas before midterms !
EXACTLY! The dirty rat bastards...

California already has some of the higher cost gasoline in the nation. With Biden and Ca-MA-la at the helm of the nation, and Newsom at the helm in California, I expect it's just a matter of time before fuel costs will be rising high enough to take the enjoyment out of driving my Red Eye and Hellcat Cuda. Once E cars have gotten enough of a foot hold (including charging stations), they'll raise the taxes on gasoline sky high. Rat bastards!

I already went through a similar scenario (as did others here) where back in the early '70s the OPEC debacle created sky high gas prices / hard to get gasoline. My daily driver was a '70 Challenger with a 440 six pack; 4 speed and 4.10 Dana rear. Also had day 2 mods like headers and hotter cam. I found a litlle 4 cyl. 1952 Morris Minor 4 door to drive to work and run errands. That actually made the situation kind of fun and extremely unique, but I don't care to go through that situation again at my age. Sure is bothersome wondering where things will go, but I think it's evident they will try real hard to force us out of our high horsepower ICE vehicles. Sorry for being such a downer. lolol

Well, I know Chevron regular is somewhere over $3.50 for my truck and Jeep and premium is over $4.50 for the Cats. To tell you the truth, I could drive outside the valley area where I live and get it a little cheaper, but not all that much less. Because of the various social tensions that exist, I'm not about to take my car outside of the safe area where I live if I'm going to need to stop for fuel or anything else.

I get a kick outa guys who post up a complaint how their fuel has gone from $2.xx per gallon, to $3.xx per gallon. Geez, I WISH!

Fuel here is pretty cheap. About $2 a gallon I think. Hard to remember since I only fill up once a month or so working from home.

I'm not so sure gas will be taxed to the moon. Average folks cant afford electric cars and getting to work being a necessity and all seems that would disproportionately impact lower income families.

As for Hellcat engine I'm still looking for the next iteration at 900+. That's when I think we'll see the last hipo for a while.

Damn right, I'll complain loudly if it gets all the way up to $3/gallon.

Speedy, they don't hesitate to raise taxes here in California. With KaMAAAla being from here, and then Pelosi and Feinstein, they do what they damn well please, those dirty rat bastards.

We know you will Jimmy.... we know you will. lolol I can't remember the last time I paid $2.xx per gallon on Regular, let alone Premium. Well over a decade, I'm sure.

I heard the Green New Deal says you have to buy carbon credits to take a trip.
Al Gore owns the carbon credit company. Google it.

At what price will my self or others convert to corn fuel E85 shipped in barrels or if you are lucky to live where it’s at the pump with quality. Assuming the fuel doesn’t Track proportionally to Gas.

Because it will cannibalize the charger sales, what does every other product have in common? None of them compete, the trx is a truck, the challenger is a coupe, the charger is a sedan, the durango is a 7 passenger full size suv, the grand cherokee is a mid size suv..... they know what they're doing, the only thing I can't figure out is why they haven't cashed in on the wagon market... assumption is the r&d is too much for that platform.

The answer is that they dont sell. Remember the Magnum? Complete sales flop. Highly doubtful they'll do that again.

Probably right, the Euro wagon market is strong tho. Weird to me.
