A daughter has graduated, found a job and is thinking about a new car. Christmas is the giving season, so she hits up the old man with a bid for that cherry red Mustang with a racing stripe.
“Whoa there, cowgirl,” he says, “I’m willing to spring for a four-wheeler, but that Mustang won’t fit in this Santa’s sack. How about a Ford Focus instead? Not as sleek or fast, but it won’t drain the bank account.”
On the heels of this market shift, hot-rodders are taking once ludicrously priced muscle cars and building them in hugely unique ways. While there was still plenty of pristine and well cared for muscle cars, this year, SEMA played host to hundreds of modern interpretations that take the idea of a muscle car to new heights.
Muscle Car Sales Are Falling, but Dodge Challenger Hellcat Sales Are Rising
les numbers of the ChevroletCamaro, FordMustang, and Dodge Charger and Challenger are slumping across America in 2016…yet sales figures for the high-output Challenger Hellcatmuscle cars, apparently, are on the rise. What’s going on?
No longer a traditional SUV, today’s Dodge Durango is trying to be something unique in the marketplace: half utility vehicle, half muscle car.
Particularly when you outfit it with a HEMI V8 engine, the Durango takes on a personality that’s dramatically different — and more fun for driving enthusiasts — than other family-friendly vehicles in this price class.
