    Next Viper Going To Be Less Rough

    The Dodge Viper is undergoing it’s final stretch of development time before being launched sometime in 2012. During the past year, Dodge has been releasing little bits of information about the next Viper.

    Now, a little more information has come out about the next Viper. Automotive News spoke with Dodge boss Reid Bigland at the Los Angeles auto show this week. Bigland said the redesigned Viper "will appeal to a broader segment of the market."

    "It was a little crude in the past, and to a certain extent that was its appeal because you really needed to have your wits about you when you got behind the wheel to keep that thing on the road. And that thrill of driving a Viper was kind of unlike any other. I think it still will be a thrilling ride with respect to the new one but offer a few more creature comforts that people come to expect in a high-performance vehicle today," Bigland said.

    If this worries any Viper fans, Bigland says don’t worry,

    "Those who were attracted to the Viper in the past will certainly be attracted to this new Viper. Guaranteed!"

    • Cool Tech Battery energy, EV range increased with solid-state lithium metal electrolytes
    • I think we all saw this coming, the CyberTruck is now officially the worst launch of an auto equal to the failed Edsel. Larger than expected drop in sales too is continuing to hurt Tesla. Only bright spot is their global charging stations. 'Huge swing and a miss': Cybertrucks reportedly stand as auto industry's biggest flop ever The start of early investors demanding the board kick out Musk and save the company. Early Tesla investor calls for Elon Musk to resign amid stock slump OUCH we knew it was coming, but it will be so much worse as Vietnam and Taiwan is not just computers like laptops and tablets or phones, but these two countries are where the auto industry went for continued cheap part assembly that are then imported into the U.S. for final assembly in EVs, Hybrids and ICE autos.  Here’s what could soon cost you a lot more because of Trump’s massive tariffs Get ready for everything Auto related to get so much more expensive.
    • We'll the Great Stagflation has begun due to Stupidity of Idiot47. Stellantis has stopped all production in Canada and Mexico and idled a plant in the mid-west with layoff's. Very ugly story, but get ready to button down the hatches as the U.S. economy might just go into a depression that could equal or worse the Great Depression of the 1930's imho. Stellantis to pause production at Windsor plant, lay off 900 workers in Midwest Then imho, I have to agree that Idiot47 has given the global auto industry sales to the Chinese as he has killed the ability for Ford or GM to really sell globally now. The unexpected winners of U.S. auto tariffs? Chinese car brands
    • I love that two-tone green interior. That is hot compared to all the Blah Black interiors America and Europe has put in auto's. Love both exterior colors, I hope they go into production as I think these would sell well here in the U.S. I can see them doing it as that front end is so well balanced compared to what BMW and Mercedes has put out that is not hitting it with the masses. The athletic stance with graceful luxury makes me see a balance that we have not had in many luxury cars, though I will also say that Cadillac V edition has this balance too imho.
