No, but it beats sitting around hoping and praying that Detroit will bring back the pony car. It's a compromise.
The deal is that Chrysler must add about one half of a factory to keep up with LX platform demand. But it's hard to build one half of a factory 'cause you end up with a gaping hole on one side.
So the Challenger, a limited volume model, presents an opportunity to justify that whole factory. Good for Chrysler. Good for muscle car enthusiasts. I read that in like Car & Driver or something.
Plus the generous wheelbase means that the Challenger will hopefully fit under the category of "second car", not "selfish weekend toy". So the Mrs. will get on board. Just enough room for her and a couple small kids. No room for the Mother In Law.
Altogether, that 4100 lbs sounds like sheer marketing genuis now, huh?
