Haha true. Well I've got an ex-cop one and love how it drives. There was probably a legit reason for ending it, just too bad they never refreshed such a cool, iconic, reliable car with a better powertrain. By 2010, an old NA V8 with 4-speed slushbox was no longer viable whether it was meant for performance or efficiency. Needed ESC by law too. I don't care if it'd be turbo-4 or EV, it'd be awesome.

Some people claim that EPA standards killed large sedans because of how SUVs have a lower bar. I don't know, maybe people want the room. But maybe an updated Vic would've sold well to fleets based on reputation. Dodge kept selling the Charger to civilians and police.

Also, insert usual spiel about new cars having overcomplicated controls and hard to replace parts. Hot/cold knob doesn't take my eyes off the road.
