Description
The “Pony Car” segment is in full revival mode with Chrysler, Ford and General Motors continuing to make high-output sporty models with unbridled V8 horsepower that harkens back to a bygone age. New front and rear styling a modest, effective improvement; Interior quality upgrading was long overdue; Manual transmissions are alive and well; Hellcat will be in tight supply, but should help generate plenty of buzz for Dodge; Still no convertible? ; Challenger is more retro-influenced than ever, which should please most buyers.
