NOBODY BUYS 2-DOORS, GUYS! 

TONS OF TEENAGERS & GROWN MEN SAY THE LOVE THEM, AND THEN THEY PROCEED TO SPEND THEIR MONEY ON $36,000 TRUCKS INSTEAD.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The Mustang is selling like hell but it's also an anomaly for the market overall.  That might get DCX to sell a 2-door Challenger if they're smart, but it doesn't change the core issue. 

In decades past everything from the Stratus to the Neon to the Intrepid would have not only been available as 2-doors, but they would have even been sold PRIMARILY as 2-doors.  Now with the Mustang, we champion the case of a single retro car selling like mad as if it represents then entire market.  It doesn't.  The fact is that Ford has been breathing a sigh of relief every 7-8 years when each new Mustang sells enough to recoup the platform's tooling costs.

The Camery -  Solara, Accord, Civic, Mazda 6 (among others) on the lower end and a whole slew of BMWs, Mercedes, Audis on the high
end are not only two doors, but hardtops as well,.. seem to sell pretty good too, by looking at any parking lot.
 

I guess not around here because all I see are sedans.  I was dead wrong about the Civic and after paying attention, I did see a few of those around today in a 2 door.  But the Camry's that I see all over the place were 4 door sedans, every single one of them.  I did not see a single 2 door Camry even at the dealers lot.  It could also be a Canadian thing as far as Camry availability though.  I'm too lazy to research it and make something factual of my claim but I would still guess that with Toyota poised to become the world's leading automaker, the hugest part of their income is derived from four door Camry's.

With the 4 door Jeep, DCX can now compete with the Hummer in both the civilian & military market. As far as the Charger goes, I had the chance to drive one a few weeks ago. Handled great, plenty of power, [HEMI] and roomy enough for a fat ass like me. I like the car for what it is. I was just disappointed that they called it a Charger. They should have stuck with Magnum. I guess we can only hope that someday DCX listens to the public and gives us a 2 door Charger.   :shruggy: :Twocents:

Yeah and DCX needs to drop their prices a little on everything. I don't know. I guess you could call me somewhat of a tight a**.  :pity:

I here daimler is coming out with a new Ram Pickup that will have one really,really big door on a slide
kinda like a patio door that will seat 15 people!
That way they will not have to be accountable for how many doors they are putting on something.
It will be called the Grand Ram.
I hear it will also come equipped with a diaper changing station,vanity mirrors and its own
nagging woman with a cell phone glued to her head.
