How about a Retro Javelin / AMX?
With Ford selling Mustangs in record numbers and the Camaro and Challenger selling like hot cakes I'm wondering why Chrysler ( since they long ago bought AMC / Jeep ) doesn't come out with a coupe that looks like a 1968-70 or even a 71-74 Javelin. They could put it on the existing Charger / 300 / Challenger platform. With the 292 hp V6 or 370hp 5.7 Hemi, I bet they'd have a hit. Especially if they offered a two-seat AMX option, with the 470 hp 392 Hemi and a six-speed. Or put a Magnussen blower on it and compete with the ZL1 Camaro and Shelby GT500 Mustang. The 300C / Charger platform has an all-wheel drive option, so they could make it a rocket quick enough to challenge Nissan GT-R's or Turbo 911s. They could, but they probably won't. They'll spend billions bringing out some hybrid piece of crap under the Fiat name, that they lose their ass on. Mastermind
