Could be.
IDK.

I just remember thinking there are a lot of cool toys in the FCA toolbox and he didn't really try and do anything different.

Make a new Neon with a hybrid drivetrain.
Make a new Nitro with the same.
Figure out how to utilize the 4xe turbo 4 drivetrain and keep the costs down to offset carbon credits.

The problem anymore is that once a company makes a "performance" car, they need to jack up the price. They could have utilized this drive train to make 400hp into 2 performance vehicles that get 50+mpg and get the tax credit to boot.
Not everyone wants a 800 hp boat. There's plenty who enjoy a light, nimble car with adequate power and comfort while getting good fuel economy.

Just not enough diversity throughout the lineup in my opinion.

Far too much cheap euro junk thrown in.

You can't get ripped off if you agree to the transaction. Say no if you don't like the terms but it's bullshit to agree to terms, sign on the dotted line and then say you got ripped off.
You can get ripped off if you agree to terms within the contract, add a deposit and when item comes in, seller decides to change the terms of the contract.

You're getting ripped off whether you accept the new terms or you walk away from the deal.

They just keep saying it will get scheduled when the spoiler is painted. Shit, I could have painted an entire 757 with rattle cans by now & made it look good.
Keep getting 'next week', '3 days', 'end of the week' excuses & it never happens. The latest with the guy from Dodge was last Tue when he swore he had talked to the Ser Mgr & she said by Thurs. Said he'd call her on Thurs & confirm with me. No one called & I left him a msg Fri afternoon.

Was a good dealer when locally owned by the Lamb family, they sold out 18 months ago to Jenkins and it's turned into a steaming pile of :poop:

Got an email today from Dodge - still waiting on the dealer to tell them the spoiler (that they've had since 10/3) has been painted.

At this point I would seriously consider burning the dealership down and s@$tting in the owner's mailbox.

If they are treating others like this the place is dangerous to be around. Sooner or later they're going to fuck with one of the unhinged types running around here and the dude is going to show up & start exacting his own justice o_O

Ask him. He doesn't live far from you.

The problem is that the market took another big jump in price on these and dealer GM's are not in the habit of leaving large amounts of cash on the table, especially since pickups are back to commodity pricing. It does suck for the guys who thought they had a deal locked up.

Auction prices are horrible too. A bunch of dealers want over 200k out the door for a Demon 170 and all i see is excuses by guys about why the auction prices aren't high.

The bubble has busted on Dodge

Why would they go much over 200k at an auction when you can go to the dealer and get one for less

I remember some cars in the early 90s dealers were asking 5k over because of market value:LOL:
100k is beyond insane when it is almost double the window sticker
