Still looks like a 90's car.

The whole Dodge approach looks so two faced with a 180 degree change in product - from an 800hp Hellcat to an EV with something like 670hp ? Then Changing from a V8 to a slant 6 (lol - OK, ok, an inline 6). Dodge's history is the Hemi V8 and thats what kept them in business since the 50's....
From a sales approach, you have to show you are good at what you're selling - Dodge has been good with selling muscle. Muscle is not an I6 and an EV. I know EV's are fast, but EV's are not muscle cars.
They essentially stopped selling "commuting" cars years ago - they gave that market away when they stopped making entry level cars like the Dart, Neon, 200, Caliber, etc. You can argue whether any of those were any good, but they are necessary for getting people into your brand - especially when you're talking new buyers of your brand.

Dodge should've ditched the flashlight-on-wheels cr@p and just hyped the 550hp/420hp 3.0L 6 cylinder.

Coming from decades of Hemis, that would've been the way to go. At least keep it ICE ...

If there was some American input in the company, some things might be better. However, you have American-hating euro-trash dickheads, running the company.

The fake motor noises are very nostalgic for me.
Remind me of my time playing with TOY cars & mouthing motor noises ............................. then I grew up and could afford REAL cars and let the fake noises slide into history, or at least that's what I thought :confused:

So this is the douche-bag demographic that Dodge is trying to sell to? Real nice.
