You're right, Dodge should go back to their roots and market to people with no education, class, or money. That should really help the Viper program survive.
Hey Dodge, how's that been working out for you? Viper sales have been awesome, right?
We all know the Gen V launch was a bust...
And no class. No one is going to take Dodge or SRT seriously with this crap. Good luck converting the Porsche, Aston Martin, Ferrari, etc crowd over with this stuff.
+1. If they can't sell the car to us, the passionate fans of the car, then they have a serious problem. SRT must have royally ********** everyone in the media over the last 2 years. It was probably the pompousness from the marketing team and the arrogance of sending broken cars to magazines...
I was shocked when I read the article. It's so sad to see that Ralph, who we all thought was brilliant, saying things that are just crazy. He seriously thinks that cars sitting on lots is a good thing? Does he not get that dealer's floorplan expires and they are stuck with paperweights? Does...
Perhaps you should listen to your own advice and "get your facts straight before mouthing off". Here are two articles that clearly state that 426 Vipers were sold for the 2013 model year. They've been posted on the forums for a while and you've even replied to them. Your article is a YTD...
I said "low 400's" and the published number was 426. I stand by my statement. So your 500 number is the "mythical figure".
Also, it doesn't matter if it was 6 months or 12 months. Supply is there and buyers knew about the car since April 2012. So technically, they've had 1.5 years to pony...
I don't think the backlash now is against Gen 5 specifically. Rather, it is frustration that the car is not selling (price, marketing, etc). It is also because of the worry that the Viper may not survive for too much longer with sales figures in the low 400's/year.
You are missing the point. Read the article (and my posts if you wish). The point is, they are making various references about how Viper is hurting...big time...and how the C7 is booming and this electric, expensive car made by a startup called Tesla is booming. The market is strong, sales...
True, but historically, Corvette has sold multiples of 12x/year (2003) to 23x/year (2008) compared to Viper. I didn't count 2009 and 2010 because the economy was so screwy. Based on current projections for yearly sales of Corvette and the actual sales of Viper, the ratio is is an astonishing...
