why is it so heavy
>>14706512
Because your mom drives it
>>14706512
Because Mercedes.
The front suspension is derived from an old Mercedes S-class, the rear suspension and general floorpan from an old Mercedes E-class.
The chassis is a mutt, and FCA is already working on an all new replacement chassis.
>>14706512
Because it's a huge and V8 powered modern car.
/o/ really does make the same 3-4 threads every day
Wow, a big car based on an old big sedan chassis that meets modern safety regs weighs a lot.

pretty much.

>FCA is already working on an all new replacement chassis.
Who will design it? Fiat or the SRT team? Cadillac designed GM's new Alpha platform and i hope they let SRT design the new challenger/charger platform.
>>14706512
Because the car is fucking huge
Only coupe with usable rear seats for normal people
>>14706540
>already
>Charger introduced in 2006
The mutt of a platform is already over a decade old. Way overdue for a redesign.
>>14706540
Is it gonna be a crossover? Didn't Marchionne say they were just going to focus on crossovers from now on?
>>14706512
Because it is a boat
>>14706971
Please god no
>>14706955
They're gonna use an old ferrari platform
They did let them develop the viper didn't they? So there's still hope
>>14706540
>challenger on a dedicated platform
all of my hrrrnng
I'd totally have to trade in my 2015 mustang for that, assuming it takes a few more years.

Word says the new platform will debut for the 2018 model year, seeing the Challenger killed off in favor of a new, smaller Dodge Barracuda. Still gonna be RWD, but you have to remember. The benchmark now is GM's Alpha platform, so the new platform should be competitive.
Why is it so dumb looking. I mean really look at the front. That looks dumb.
Bleh
It's a sedan disguised as a coupe with a huge engine.

It's a comfy cruiser, not a track car. Why is everyone on /o/ obsessed with having the shittiest ride quality known to man
It may seem foreign to you bench racers, but some people just want a plush ride with good power for actual usability in real life driving

I'm excited for a new 'cuda, but I hope they keep the challenger, even if it's like a 3:1 ratio.
I know it'd be as redundant as the old challenger and the old charger being 2 doors and all, but I love pigbro too much to let it go.
>>14706525
The only thing your mom rides is my penis.
It is also heavy and red.
I call it Helldick.

Maybe if it was a fucking DD, but not everybody on here is as poor as you, I already have a comfy DD, the fuck do I want with some pigfat gas guzzling unreliable piece of shit to drive on the weekends for? I want the car to handle, I like it when a car feels light on its feet, not like I'm piloting a fucking boat in Venice

>>14707573
it doesnt handle terribly though you fucking dipshit.
its not a track star but it handles well for what it is
check the reviews
their market isnt bench racers obsessing about burger king times
>>14708857
>it handles well
[citation needed]
and you're still treating it like handling and comfort are mutually exclusive, not to mention being a giant dumbass by implying only bench racers care about handling.
>>14706935

>>14710112
