Not a fan of dodge at all, but I really did like the way the new charger looked. Too bad you couldn’t buy it manual. Deal Breaker for me.

The 1970 Charger was once my dream car.

That and the lack of car seat space are legit reasons.

Dodge is still selling all the Challengers they can make, which is pretty good for a car which debuted in 2008 and has not been seriously restyled since. ONE refresh in 2015. All they've done is to keep rolling out special models, First the Hellcat and then a bunch of subspecies like the Demon and the various Widebodies, and the Red Eye. They haven't sold fewer than 50,000 any year since 2013. There are almost certainly more New Challengers than Dodge ever sold of the old ones.

Looks like Dodge will be around for at least one more product cycle.

There are rumors of other Dodge branded cars coming.

My son is naturally pretty bright, and because of that he glided through school without having to put in much study effort. Graduated 15 out of about 250 in high school.
Then, he got to A&M and enrolled in the engineering program which is pretty tough, and had his "Oh [another word for excrement]!" moment after his first round of tests. He then learned that he really needed to hit the books since he was no longer in high school.
Both kids went to schools where every student was essentially in the top 10% of their high school class. When they started, I told them both that all those kids that were in the lower 90% of their high school classes were no longer their classmates and that every other kid did as well or better than them in high school. Being in the top 10% of the top 10% is not easy!

my oldest kid graduated high school with 4.2 GPA
his rank : he was tied with 13 other students at #108 (of 631)
