FCA should look at a new
FCA should look at a new approach as to introduce a Dodge Barracuda, more streamlined than the Challenger. The platform of the Challenger, along with the Charger and many other vehicles is just too large. The symmetry associated with many vehicles today is that they look 'elephant' like, whereas the dimensions are not in unison with the vehicle profile. > i.e. "height". This may revolve around the 'numerous' airbags, where the engineer or artist must configure a sketch, while taking in all aspects according to regulations. This must be a great hindrance as to design a vehicle, and to be limited to few choices of architecture; 'so to say'. Whether it is the platform or restrictions, muscle cars have lost much contrast compared to the classics of yesteryear.
If the SRT hellcat were a thousand dollars, we would not purchase. In fact, I would not take one for free. The interior is offset with horrible design including the dash, console, shift position and gauges. Incorporated into this menagerie are the system electronics which are more viable for an aircraft. We cannot determine the consensus of instituting all these measures; only to say that they are mostly all useless, an intrigue for those which cannot see clearly. Should the consumer demand be in line with hysteria, by all means continue, "Just not for us". Plastics embody most of the interior as the contracts are awarded to the manufacturer or supplier which can bring the best deal to the table. Maybe at one time, auto manufacturers were seeking quality to identify the prize, but today only the quantity which may be moved is an indication of the 'progressive' momentum of the assembly line.
A new strategy should be given thought, if possible; to restructure or re-design automobiles. We believe that FCA is most capable to introduce a new spectrum, but will they?
