Also... electronic e brake?!?!

Thanks, but no thanks.

The only company making a real American muscle car right now is Dodge with the Challenger. Ford and Chevy have lost their way in pursuit of the European luxury sportscar market. It works fantastically for the Corvette, but that's always been positioned as a sports car from day 1 rather than muscle.

I'm glad I pulled the trigger on my '11 Camaro when I did and have no plans to trade it in. Can the new cars outrun me to 60 by half a second or more? Sure. Do I care? No. To each their own, but I feel the Gen 5 will be remembered as more iconic over time.
Considering how the Mustang and Camaro are dominating the Challenger in sales, I think it's working just fine for them. Truthfully, the Challenger is a fat pig. If you want fantastic driving dynamics, the Mustang and Camaro are excellent options.
