Re: My/Your Ideal Dodge Lineup

Caravan - Needs redesign, but I mirror my comments for T&C in the Chrysler thread - change the sheetmetal some.

Dakota - Introduce a hybrid to compensate for the truck's horrid mileage. Give it the 3.7 6 cylinder and accompany it with a 70hp electric motor with combined mileage of at least 23 mpg.

Durango - Drop the 3.7 6 cylinder as its underpowered for a truck of this size.

Magnum - styling could use a little jazzing up - it does not look mean enough, especially the headlights. This is especially necessary on lower line models as they look downright cheap.

Charger - As is.

Challenger - Coupe version of the Charger. Eight cylinder only.

Caliber - Needs a sedan version since Americans are so anti-hatchback despite their extreme practicality.

Ram - Fine for now.

Stratus - Complete redesign on the Galant platform like the Sebring, but shares no sheetmetal. Have an R/T model with the 3.5 V6 and at least 280hp.

Avenger - Re-introduce the Avenger as the new Stratus Coupe. It would be based off the Eclipse platform. Have an R/T model with at least 280hp.

Viper - As is.
