A huge selection of colors, likely for a significant up-charge. What's the problem?

I would just be happy to get some of the colors you can get on the Cadillacs which are painted in the same paint shop - like White Diamond.

I'll second that. My S.O.'s Caddy has the premium paint (tri color) that is literally flawless. It was an extra $1k, but well worth it. It would be a nice factory upgrade if somebody would want it on their Camaro.

I've detailed several of my buddy's BMWs and the finish on the Cadillac is much, much better.

Fiat just keeps reinventing an already awesome car. The combinations and packages that are offered on the Challenger are mind boggling. These are quite possibly the best value of any two door coupe made.

"Shake N Bake" Thats an awesome name for a color hahaha!

I just wish hugger orange was an option on our cars.

To an extent, I agree. It's an old, heavy platform that doesn't handle or drive as well as the Mustang or Camaro. It's a throwback o the muscle car era when a car only needed to go in a straight line.

But, somehow, they're selling a ton of them. This in spite of the fact that the Challenger itself is over 10 years old without a major update, based on a platform that goes back nearly 20 years.

I don't get it, but they've found a market for it.

Ask my father-in-law about the quality of his 2017 Camaro SS right now, or ask me about the nightmare that was my 2010 SS. Dont believe everything you read. The Challenger, Charger and 300s are very reliable cars. Perfect? Hell no ,but no worse than Chevrolets as far as reliable goes. Ive owned them all. They all suck and all are great. Luck has more to do with reliability than the emblem in the grill from what Ive experienced over the years.
