3 Things That Can Keep Dodge Alive
Tough times for our economy and everyone is fearing recession, or worse. Consumers have lost faith in the American Dollar. Car sales are down, and it looks like the situation is going to get worse before it gets better. Sales of domestic cars were not the best to begin with. To help, Chrysler LLC has taken Dodge and Jeep under their umbrella, and is combining many dealerships throughout North America to sell all three brands. But can a classic name like Dodge end up falling off the face of the Earth? In these turbulent times nothing is certain. DodgePedia has a few ideas how Dodge can continue to flourish through good times and bad.
3. Muscle - Flex It
Car enthusiasts love the roar of a powerful engine, and you can’t deny that drivers want to go as fast as possible; we all have places to go and less time to get there (or so we believe). Now well into the 21st century, the industry bares witness to a nostalgic peak in car purchasing. Ford’s new Mustang GT and Bullett models are eye catching and perform well on the road, as well as with buyers. Dodge, which resurrected the Charger a few years back, now steps into the nostalgia design ring with an all new Challenger. And what does Dodge’s Challenger bring under the hood to back up their record pre-sale requests? How about a 6.1-liter V8 SRT HEMI for starters.
Green muscle cars? It may sound like an “oxy-moron” - However, With the Chevy Volt and Dodge Zeo concepts stirring up auto industry experts you may soon be able to reach 65 mph in under 4 seconds, while saving Mother Earth. If nothing else, powerful electric vehicles will keep your ear drums from popping down at the drag strip. They sure do look different…And speaking of looks…
2. Design - Flaunt it
Again, nostalgia is key in today’s high end car market. Drivers want the safety of a space age vehicle with the looks of a 1960’s classic. Dodge is already on it’s way to claiming the classic car lovers’ hearts with the 2009 Challenger. Looking more like The General Lee than the new Charger, Challenger has already fascinated Auto Show audiences across the globe. Fresh looks and new ideas will always help keep you ahead of the pact.
1. International Growth
When you can sell in North America, why not give the UK a try! Chrysler recently expanded their Dodge Jeep Chrysler products to overseas markets, in an effort to take a larger chunk of UK change and to spread the word (world wide) that Dodge is a name you can trust. Just last month, Chrysler UK moved forward with a plan to merge their three-brand dealerships and give English car lovers a shot at owning a reliable and recognizable American made automobile.
