It’s not all tattered news for Dodge, which became the Chrysler Group’s black sheep in October being the only marque to post a sales decrease over the same month last year.
Besides the Dart compact car’s 28 percent increase in October, surprisingly, the Challenger’s sales were up by 27 percent, even though it’s been on the market since 2008 having just received a facelift this year.
What’s even more impressive is that Dodge said it received 4,000 orders for the mighty 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat when the ordering system was opened for dealers last month and has gathered more than 5,000 orders now.
With 707-ponies from its supercharged HEMI V8 and a starting price of $59,995, the Challenger SRT Hellcat is one helluva power-bargain for the money, but still, that’s well over $60k once you include tax, fees and other charges – not bad at all for Dodge’s coffers.
