Right now, none.
But I still think they missed a golden opportunity to wow people with the Hurricane I6 in the drag pak.
Should have contracted an engine builder (Steve Morris is in Michigan.....as Butter says "just sayin) to build a 1200-1400hp Hurricane and stuff that into the drag pak.
Let that car spool up and rip. Everyone's neck would have snapped looking at that car with the loud whistle and wastegate pops.
Would have gotten everyone in the stands excited for the next generation of Dodge muscle cars.
The Ram 1500s should be on display at these shows. I still think its a huge risk to dump the V8, jack up the price, and not put it on display for people. American's love their V8 trucks. So just assuming the public is going to go out and buy them up is very short sighted.
McDonald's is a true believer of constantly being in your face with their ads. Stellantis bailing on these shows because of cost is IMO dumb. Scale down to just the new Charger and Ram 1500 but they shouldn't be bailing on them completely.

I remember the days when they always had something going on and the skunkworks development was breaking all the rules of the norm along with no boundaries. I got to say it I am pissed and disappointed with them right now for one salient reason, putting all the propulsion in one electric basket. Dodge should have made transitional phasing to electric. A hybrid done right could be sweet. I wouldn’t totally rule out possible offerings of this just yet. The door has been left open slightly for possibility of different power trains to be dropped into some of the new platforms I have heard. I won’t hold my breath on what will be done in terms of integrated ICE/Electric combo. If they did bring out something that wowed us that included some form of ICE grunt on tap I would be the first to recant my negative vibe until then FO
Edit: Hornet with ICE power isn’t Grunt under hood

Dodge hybrid truck is in process
Charger BEV is delayed a bit ( surprise ) No one wants anyway
Charger ICE will be in production 2025 in Windsor ON
The car looks bad ass
No widebody flares
All the fenders / quarters are stamped
Not a fan of the current Hatchback design & I m waiting to see if it changes
ICE
I think once people see the car & the performance it will provide they will like it

True...but what a party...over 9 years...
Very good point. In fact, despite all the turmoil and chaos with "parent companies", Dodge has managed to deliver some great looking ass-beating cars. Future still looks bleak to me, though..
