Being a life long Mopar fan and one who generally likes the direction, styling, general performance, value and such of most Chryco products, I believe that Chryco needs a sporty, lower priced coupe.
Dodge has Challenger as its legacy, pony car and of course a cool, kick ass car it is even in 305bhp V-6 form. Of course Challenger Hellcat is as one might say, "to die for." Dodge has Charger as it main sedan from V-6 to super charged V-8. Dodge has its Viper as it top halo car. It has Dart for its sub compact and affordable sedan and I really like the Dart. It has mini vans and SUV's but no say modern day incarnation of the then cool Daytona.
I often still miss my Shelby Z.
I would welcome a 2 door sporty coupe and return of the Daytona name plate. Base models could be the 2.4L Tigershark engine with 6 speed manual or 6 speed auto and front drive. As one moves up add a 3.6L V-6 to mid line models with 6 speed manual or 9 speed auto and the top model would be an AWD with 3.6L V-6 and again I'd want a 6 speed manual or 9 speed auto as a choice.
Dodge Daytona would be styled more sporty, handle more crisply and offer a wider price range from as value leaders in oh $15,000, to mid lines 4cyl and V-6 FWD in the $20,000-$25,000 range and TOTL AWD V-6 say about $28,000-$30,000.
Dodge model names could be:
Dodge Daytona (2.4L FWD 6 speed manual)
Dodge Daytona SE (2.4L FWD 6 speed auto)
Dodge Daytona SXT (2.4L FWD 6 speed manual)
Dodge Daytona SXT-AWD (3.6L AWD 9 speed auto)
Dodge Daytona RT (3.6L FWD 6 speed manual)
Dodge Daytona SRT (3.6 AWD 6 speed manual)
Dodge Daytona RT-Limited (3.6L AWD 9 speeds auto)
Chryco could make a Chrysler labeled model, Sebring. A more upscale, GT like model with fewer choices say FWD 3.6L and an AWD 3.6L. price range starting as $22,000 up to say $34,000.
Chrysler Model names:
Sebring SE (3.6L FWD 6 speed manual)
Sebring Limited (3.6L FWD 9 speed auto)
Sebring GT (3.6L AWD 6 speed manual)
Sebring GTS (3.6L AWD 9 speed manual)
Meh, just thinking about a product area Chryco has no car choices in. And IMO the return of two cool names for both.
