2020 Challenger changes preview

[Hellcat Cuda]

I am ready for 2020 at this point myself. I really like Frostbite, and plan to order that. I will shit myself if we get a late 426 announcement but I am not holding my breath waiting. Since Frostbite is a late color I am trying to decide if I will order right when the banks open (will they ever?) or like February or March time....Probably will order right away once I can.

That Frost Bite is a REALLY NICE blue!

Dare I say it....I like it better than B5 Blue, even though I LOVE B5

Don't do it! Don't do it! "Just say NO!" to the C8.

FCA wants us to buy a C8 or a gt500, that’s the only logical explanation I can find to why they haven’t released the 2020.

I know what you mean. I can't say I like it BETTER, but I like it just as much. As colors go, I would say B5 "pops" more and is good for a sportier car (2 door) and Frost Bite has a little more "luxurious" tone and is good for a four door. I think I read where Frost Bite will replace B5 for 2020. However, if BOTH blues were available, I would choose B5 for a Challenger and Frost Bite on a Charger. Frost Bite will still look beautiful on a Challenger and I can't wait to see it on a Scat Pack or Hell Cat.

Yeah, they've definately got some type of problem going on. Police package Chargers are not available with a Hemi in rear wheel drive configuration for 2020, only AWD. RWD is V6 only. Evidently they are switching away from the NAG1 5 speed on the police models, but there is a shortage of A8 transmissions. They also will not start production until into November. Geez!

- Dodge is just keeping the scope wide and charging at the moment.

• Charger has been the #1 selling Full-Size sedan for 5 consecutive years (2013 – 2017).
• Charger has gained 11.5 pts of market share (2018 CYTD through May).
• Charger has a 30.0% share, highest share attainment ever (2018 CYTD through May).

- The C8 is a great vehicle for 2020; Ralph agrees. A reason not to buy the C8 is if you'd like a more powerful/hybrid variant. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c8-general-discussion/4313915-z06-and-zr1-leak.html http://instagr.am/p/B0HdRUlFnpR/
- Mike Manley (new FCA CEO July 21, 2018) on Dodge,
"The reality is those platforms, and that technology we used does need to move on. They can’t exist as you get into the middle-2020s," Manley said at the Detroit auto show, according to The Detroit News. "New technology is going to drive a load of weight out, so we can think of the powertrains in a different way. And we can use electrification to really supplement those vehicles."

"I think that electrification will certainly be part of the formula that says what is American muscle in the future," he added. "What it isn’t going to be is a V-8, supercharged, 700-horsepower engine."

Rayzazoo, good to see you've come to this board too. I've seen you for several years on the other boards that recently changed their interface. Welcome to the party.

Happy you could join us as @BULL has been looking for you.

I like the C8...

 

[Daman98]

How about we agree it’s a USMCA (United States, Mexico, Canada) Muscle car. 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇨🇦

Or drop the "A" and just go with USMC - The few, the proud.

We are all spoiled. Be careful what you wish for with major changes. Remember this gem? If you are old enough.

I really don’t consider any change is necessary. I’d appreciate a little nicer interior and an awd option though, just to see what this beast is capable of with perfect traction!

Yeah, I don’t want a cherokee, even less one priced that high. I really like them, but wouldn’t like it as my daily driver.

Hey, glad to see you made it over.

 

[DGatzby]

Over 900hp and spice up the suspension, wheels and tires! Lots of cars all over the world will be chasing that Vette.

I am starting to wonder if there is still some flashy surprise to drop on the market with Challenger for 2020, think about it now the Mustang GT is slightly faster than the scat pack stock for stock on paper, since they bumped the HP and the weight is less...

Lets just figure out when they are going to stop building the 19MY first. Looks like not till the end of October.
