Need the Manual transmission.

As far as looks go though, I think it looks great. Definitely looks old school muscle car. The car in person is great.

No stick shift and dealer markups ... and they wonder why it doesn't sell.

Are we geniuses or are these marketing guys really out of touch with reality?

I saw two of them this weekend on the bike, got up close at traffic lights and had a good look - not all that impressed tbh.

Went to the Dodge dealership Glendale, they had black and silver on the lot. Both Marked up about 30k.

I actually love the way the car looks, just cause i've always wanted a old muscle car, but didnt wanna deal with the upkeep. I think they look great.

But they aren't gonna sell any with these retarded dealers doubling up the price on them.

The sales will be slow but once they get to pre-owned and drop almost half their value I bet people will start tuning the crap out of them... However, without a manual it's days are limited. I mean come on, even the CTS-V has a 6-speed.

As others have said markup these days is bullshit, everybody wants money for nothing...

I looked at a black SRT8 model at the dealership in Detroit the other day. Factory Brembos, tinted windows, and a deep lip set of wheels would make that car killer. I really liked it. On Friday there were 138 on Ebay alone. Lots of them on the market right now.

Agreed. I think the car looks very retro, and they did an great job staying with the old design. Like you said, it would look perfect with the tints, and some wheels.

I'll never pay over sticker for it though

Amazing that they think they are going to get a premium in todays market on these cars. I'm surprised theyre not giving them away. I don't know how that Glendale dealer is still in business.

Yup... I was laughing at the salesman when he told me they wouldnt drop the mark up one cent.

retarded...
