Default Chargers are growing in puplarity while Ford and Chevy decline

Ok, help me to understand please, what could be the reason. Dodge Chargers sales grew by 9 percent in the first half of the 2019, while the competitor sedans from Ford and Chevy slumped. Is this because they are not interested in making good sedans?

Does ford or chevy offer a V8 powered 4 door passenger car? Would you chose a" Taurus, Impala or a hemi Charger? Personally, the Charger wins. Hands down.

they are not interested in making cars due to smaller profit margins. all big 3 have cut car models...that is not where their bread and butter comes from.

Furd and GM are both dropping most cars from their line up in the U.S. after this year. They sell more SUVs and pickups, and make more percentage of a profit on them, than they sell cars. I've been wanting to get a new or late model car but everything is either too expensive or just not my thing. One guy down at work just bought an F-150 and the window price was $75,000 and then some. I'll stick with my 2002 Ram I paid $500 for and my $1000 Impala.

I lost interest when I found a car I really liked. It had everything I wanted, it had what the girl friend wanted and the paint was perfect. Then I ran a CarFax on it. Best $20 I ever spent. The paint was perfect because it spent a month in the body shop after it got creamed from behind. The R.F. fender and drivers door were the only original panels left.

I'm getting ready to retire. Maybe I'll get something then. Then again, maybe not.
