I think they look great, especially the sedan...coupe looks way better in the red.

Yeah, we don't need fake exhaust sounds.

If driving an EV, embrace the quiet.
If driving ice, make it sound mean, for a muscle car if course.

My rx330 get a quiet exhaust. Lol
It can't pretend to be something that it's not. Haha

Because it’s an EV.

You can turn it on or off. I don’t see the big deal.

Borla had one for a couple of years now. One of the Motor Trend shows put one on a Mustang Mach-E. You can actually pick different sounds from popular muscle cars.

The 2-door reminds of when '95 Camry had a 2-door version based on the 4-door and think Chrysler did it with the Sebring. Two doors on a 4-door body looks odd to me.

Not a shared architecture like this, that has a big impact on weight.

Would you leave it on or off, be honest. Lol

Ok, if it's on a button like that, it actually might be fun.

Now, a fake gear shifter might be going a little far tho. 😂. 🤔

It looks like an updated Ford Maverick (70s and not the goofy little truck that's out now) and that is clearly not a plus.

I would leave it off most of the time. A lot of EVs have sound generators like that, the i7 does...yes you can turn them off and on

Design is not bad but i much prefer the previous gen especially with the widebody.

The weight of this car is absolutely ridiculous.

Also why cancel the Hemi V8 for a twin turbo inline 6.
They completely lost the heritage without the Hemi.

Nobody will be buying the EV versions. I’m sure dealers are having sleepless nights already.

Im still betting they will deploy a new cleaner V8 with twins later in the year, it's just not like dodge to not have one.

Stellantis isn’t developing any new V8, the I6 is the future.

The coupe just looks so bizarre, the massive greenhouse dwarfs over the front and rear ends with their tiny wheels making it look like a compact and FWD despite being some 207 inches long.

Ironically the sedan looks way sportier than the coupe despite being the same length.
