That seems like alot of production to me, and no one is saying its limited to that. just what is expected.
No Dodge is dreaming about selling 500,000 Challengers in 5 years. These higher end cars are not even 20% of volume. The Challenger, Mustang, and Camaro would all be extinct if they depended 2-5k of these cars selling a year. So put things in the right perspective, these cars mean little to the bottom line. They mean more to us because we are enthusiasts, but we keep in mind we need the V6 and I4s to sell extremely well. Only on the profits of those do cars like the Hellcat, ZL1, and GT500s become feasible for the companies to build.
