Dodge has announced a “last call” for its Charger and Challenger models, as the company is “celebrating the end of an era” and switching to electric vehicles — whether their customers want them or not.

“The Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger, in current form, are coming to an end,” announced Dodge’s parent company Stellantis on Monday.

The company added that it plans to release the look of its final 2023 Charger and Challenger models, which will come with a commemorative “Last Call” underhood plaque.

They’ll live to regret it. Go woke Go broke. The whole Democratic-fueled EV show is a very flawed concept. They are not affordable, practical, or sustainable for 90 % of the population. They will NEVER be mainstream.

Charger is the perfect name for an EV.

If Trump is successful in gutting the administrative state during his second term, Dodge is going to fire the execs who pushed this dumb idea.

While I like the big fat V-8 in a charger, I’m holding out for the ZR1 ‘vette 850hp 3600lb And I will never buy an electric car.

Even if I wanted one, I’d refuse to buy based on their wokeness.

If you can afford a twin-turbo V8 and the maintenance thereof, then sure. As if 670 horses from a normally-aspirated V8 is not enough . . .

It’s going to be too heavy to make that jump over the North Fork.

What will the cops drive?

Ford stopped making the Crown Vic for some reason. They’re trying with the explorer but unless you’re small stature, they suck

The Charger dominates the cop car market.

Tahoe’s and Explorers for everyone.

Guaranteed CornPop infíltrense this decision with some promises

What will the insurance cost on that $200k car?
