All New Challenger Due In 2019 Along With A Convertible Barracuda To Spice Up The Mix

It appears the rumor mill has found out when the Dodge Challenger muscle car will get updated to a new generation – 2019 – and more importantly that Hellcat and even Barracuda convertible versions are on tow.

The Dodge Challenger is going to be the granny of the American muscle car triumvirate – it was released in a new generation back in 2008 and has remained mostly the same ever since. More so, it appears that while the Mustang and Camaro have been updated to new generations, FCA isn’t in a hurry to do the same with their representative. That’s because the rumor mill alleges the new generation will be here in about three years time – sometimes in 2019. And again the all-new Challenger is yet another model that should pack the rear-wheel drive platform that is used by the Alfa Romeo Giulia – meaning that when it comes does out it will pack an aged architecture.

So let's get this straight. The Giulia debuted in June of 2015 and the Challenger and Barracuda coming off the Giorgio platform won't be around until 2019? These are just different hats on top of the Giorgio platform. Similarly the Stelvio and Journey are to be Giorgio based, but they too are just different hats on Giorgio's head.

The Journey, Challenger, and Barracuda should be running around with the Stelvio prototypes give that the engineering needed should not take YEARS to accomplish.

The product cadence is entirely too slow at FCA.

Giulia is on an all new platform. Perhaps now they will have a quicker cadence utilizing this new platform for rwd/awd vehicles.
