  • 2018 Dodge Challenger T/A in Plum Crazy

    The Dodge Charger sedan and its Challenger coupe sibling continue to sell despite an aging platform that traces its roots to a Mercedes E-Class architecture from the 1990s. The platform for each car has been updated over the years, but it hasn't been significantly changed on the Challenger since it came out in 2008 and on the Charger since an update in 2011. That has left fans of the all-so-American muscle cars to wonder when these cars will get a new platform. Rumors that the next generation of each will use a version of the platform that underpins the Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan, called...

  • Dodge Viper targa by Prefix
    Dodge didn't build a Viper Targa, so one company did it for them

    We waved goodbye to the Dodge Viper last year as production came to an end.

After all, every other Viper generation...

Mark Trostle, head of design for Dodge and SRT, posted to Instagram on Thursday an inside look at the proposed design sketches for the Challenger Demon logo. In the end, we think Trostle and team picked the right one. It's interesting to see where the design...
