Dodge confirming there will be no more V8 Charger or Challenger cars after 2023.... Imagine a Hellcat with no V8 vomit

Interesting. I was looking at selling my Charger scat pack this week, but might consider hanging onto it now!

20 years since Mercedes first introduced the W211 E-Class, and 15 years since the companies went their separate ways, it's perhaps not that surprising for Dodge to finally call time on their version. They've done really well out of it, to be fair.

Sounds like there will be some farewell specials before they finally drop them.

Definitely the most desirable versions of the W210/211 E-class biggrin

The end of a very distinguished era, during which, Dodge unashamedly glorified "The Brotherhood of Muscle".

2023 model year will be the last for Charger, Challenger and Durango (and Jeep Trackhawk in N American markets). So if you have a well cared-for Scatpack, Hellcat, Red Eye hang on to it and don't kill it with miles. There's lots of them out there, but they are going to hold value is a significant way - demand for used ones is big, here in the US.

I have a 2019 Wide Body Challenger with 18k on it. The dealer who sold it to me calls regularly to ask if I'm prepared to sell it back (Airport Chrysler Jeep Dodge, in Orlando FL). If I was prepared to accept their offer, I'd have lost less than $10k on it over more than 3 years of ownership.

The new wave of Dodge offerings is decidedly underwhelming. Essentially re-badged Alfa Tonale. Yeah... no thanks.
