Now that the Supreme Court says that the EPA can't force the states to go away from fossil fuels, I wonder if we will have a choice in the future?
I have a 2015 Dodge Challenger SXT Plus which is a V6 version of the RT Dodge Challenger. Fully loaded, all the bells and whistles except for the power sunroof and the shaker hood.
It even has real dual exhaust but it doesn't have the loud V8 Rumble. It can get 30 miles per gallon on the highway and still hit 60 MPH in about 7 Seconds. I have 50,000 miles on it and I hope to keep it another decade or more. Consumer Reports gave it a rating of above 70. It can carry for adults comfortably since it is not cramped like the Camaro and Mustang and it has a large trunk with full down rear seats. It has the same engine as my Chrysler Pacifica except it puts out 305 horsepower instead of 287 horsepower like the other V6 power plants found in most other Dodge lines.
Remember Coca-Cola came out with a new Coke and people didn't buy it as much and that didn't sell and they went back to the old Coke and called it Coca-Cola classic? What if all of a sudden these electric car muscle cars didn't sell?
Shouldn't they offer both electric, hybrid and fossil fuel versions of the same car?
I remember years ago driving a Ford Fusion rental car and I liked the power of the V6 as well as the electrical portion that would kick in when you were driving downhill or if you were driving less than 10 miles an hour. Unfortunately, this didn't sell and Ford canceled this car line.
I remember driving from Banning, California to my Army Reserve unit in Garden Grove doing 75 to 80 mph (at 6:00 to 7:15 a.m. on drill weekends) getting 50 miles per gallon.
Would you buy the new electric car or would you prefer to have a gasoline or hybrid version available?
