Interresting post....but a 2.0 liter PT???????
Those are allready marketed overseas.Here in the states,it is either a 2.4 Liter or 2.4 Turbo.Why the little bit of extra power?....WIEGHT.These little cars are heavy for thier size....I know,because I own two.If anything,people stateside want a slightly lengthened version capable of having a V6 installed.
Why move it under the proposed reinstatement of "Plymouth"?......Because it was originally a Plymouth nameplate concept?????No......Leave it as a Chrysler.It definently has more going for it quality/comfort wise then it's competitors..Focus,Vibe,Matrix,Aerio...the soon to be Chevy Cobalt(Cavilier hatchback replacement).
Somethings definently need redone.Introduction of the Charger again???You bet....but NOT AS A RENAMED CURRENT NAMEPLATE!!!!!Try something more along the lines of the 1997/98 concept car......THAT WAS the Charger reincarnated!!!!!!!!!And you had the audacity to suggest a 2.0L 4 cylinder for a Charger?!?!?!
Your friggin nuts and have forgotten or are not familiar with it's history.
And a reborn Barracuda with a V6?????Hello!?!?....why is it the Mustang still commands a decent successful production run???????
BECAUSE...they are realatively affordale with a V8!!!!!!!!!!You want to compete with the Mustang......then any new Charger or Barracuda MUST have a V8 available!!!!!!PREFERABLY a HEMI under the hood.
You make many good points,but your ideas need some refinement as well.
