I'd like to see a Chrysler New Yorker (and perhaps an Imperial) sedan come cack on the 300 platform. Also a Road Runner....they could use the Chrysler nameplate since the Pltymouth brand is dead.
The original Road Runners were affordable, interesting, and, with their bright colors, bird-graphics, and "Beep-Beep" horn, had TONS of character and personality to them.
I feel like they should absolutely bring the 300 back. I thought it was a great looking car.
Yep.....affordable big sedans are virtually extinct now.
The only stumbling-block is that they may be a litlte too bulky for the parking spaces in some areas. But they are not intended to appeal to everyone.
I don't necessarily know what would happen today, but, decades ago, the luxury-grade New Yorker strongly outsold the more sport-oriented 300...one reason why the 300 was discontinued after the early 1970s.

good interview with the CEO, dropping a lot of teases and hints about future stuff. Copperhead and other vehicles were shown to journalists but under NDA of course
copperhead is a "hyper muscle car" and not looking to chase the C8, doing its own thing
summer technology event and roadkill nights in august for more reveals.

Agreed - all they need is to take the Charger and change the styling.
Make it luxury - put air suspension and some large bright silver 22s for like $50-60k.

Bingo.....there's your next Chrysler New Yorker, although 22's probably wouldn't give it much of a luxury ride. The classic 300s were more sport-oriented....the New Yorker was always the luxo-version, just short of the Imperial.
Tim: A Viper is a sports car. This is a hyper-muscle car.
Joel: Does a Viper make sense anymore, or that era is probably gone?
Tim: Look, the Gen 5 Viper was one of the most beautiful cars ever built.
Joel: Love that car.
Tim: The track capability of that car was absolutely astounding. If you think about what it was—I mean, it was an analog car with a manual transmission, and it could hold its own against anything in the world. Technology doesn’t matter. I mean, it was just that good. But it had its downsides. I mean, let’s be honest. I own one, so I’m allowed to bash it. If you don’t own one, you can’t because we’ll fight. But if you own one, you can bash it.
There’s things wrong with it, right? I mean, when they came out with the new rule for ejection mitigation, we had to discontinue the car because you would have to put airbags right over you—as a driver, right over your ear. And you sat in the car. It’d be impossible.
Joel: It’s right next to your head.
Tim: Yeah, you couldn’t do it. It’s impossible. So you know, we had to get rid of the car, and honestly, in today’s day and age, it would have needed to become an automatic or a dual-clutch or something like that. It reached the end of its life cycle. As much as it pains me to say that, it reached the end of its life cycle.
Yep.....a new truck-based Ramcharger, IMO, would be a great idea....especially in both two and four-door versions. It would be excellent competition for the Ford Bronco. The Jeep Wrangler, although superb off-road, is, IMO, too crude to be considered a direct Bronco competitor.
