Dodge Reads the Room, Brings Back the V-6 on the Base Durango SUV

Ironically, for how old it is, it's about the only thing that has kept Dodge going for the last two years. The electric Charger has been a complete dud, as both something that fundamentally does not appeal to the consumer that wants a Dodge Challenger, and isn't exactly the most compelling EV in general (especially with its reliability issues). And then you have the Hornet, which I imagine would be the biggest punching bag of the car industry, if only anyone knew it actually existed. Another uncompelling package which has just sold terribly, and now may be dead for good because of a combination of the low sales and tariffs. Like, this thing genuinely may do worse than the St. Regis. And at least that car is remembered fondly via T.J. Hooker DVD boxsets. So yeah, they're just going to keep the Durango going, and to be honest, I felt going exclusively to the Hemi was a bit of a silly move. I know they're trying to show that Dodge is back by flaunting it and the upcoming gas (V6) Challenger for all they're worth. But we know this was also a move to increase profit margin by putting forth the more expensive Durango as the only option. However, when consumers don't have much cash to play with, and in the last few years offering expensive Dodge's has worked very little...bringing back the V6 was the smart play here. Me personally, and same with Chrysler and Fiat in the USA, I want to know if there's really anything else in the pipeline in terms of new models. Like, if demand for the Durango drops heavily, or gas ever goes up like $2, I think Dodge is dead. Unless somehow the gas Charger wins people back. With how little activity goes on with them, I feel like Stellantis is just hoping they die off so they can just focus on Jeep, RAM, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati here. Like, you could give Dodge the Chrysler Voyager and bring back the Caravan as the budget van offering, and yet you give the budget van offering...back to Chrysler? That doesn't make sense. And there hasn't been any plans to bring back the 300, even though I imagine that might be far easier than just coming up with concepts I don't think even they believe will ever amount to anything. Hell, the Grizzly Peak Pacifica concept...that would make sense...as a Dodge! What are y'all doing???
