The Father of the Hellcats, Tim Kuniskis, just told journalists that Dodge \u201cstruggled through a very tough point in its product lifecycle. Last year, Dodge<\/a> was selling one SUV<\/a>, the Durango, and only one version of the Charger, two door only, and electric only<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now the brand will \u201cshift into second gear\u201d Kuniskis said during Stellantis\u2019 turnaround plan presentation<\/a> on Thursday in Michigan. A crossover named GLH will serve as the entry point to the lineup while a Durango refresh is in the wings (again<\/a>) along with SRT-badged variants of the Charger. There\u2019s also some kind of range-topping muscle car that appears to live outside of the Charger nameplate, but the outline looks like that of a wide-body Charger with a huge wing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going be adding a true entry-level performance vehicle, a gateway into the Brotherhood of Muscle,\u201d Kuniskis said. \u201cThink of it as the next generation of Hornet, but the way we should have done it the first time.\u201d <\/p>\n

It will be called the GLH, as in Go Like Hell, and will cost less than $40,000<\/a>. And yeah, hopefully things will go better for this than they did for the car<\/a> that never quite took America by swarm<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"Dodge<\/p>\n

Kuniskis didn\u2019t go deep into these future Dodge products other than noting that the Durango is getting a refresh. The executive didn\u2019t even make mention of the SRT-badged Chargers on the way that are listed in the automaker\u2019s product plans.<\/p>\n

As for the Charger-looking SRT product (bottom left of the image above), it\u2019s unclear what this is. The wing is huge, the body is wide, and it\u2019s hard to imagine it isn\u2019t a Hellcat, but the Chargers on the bottom right of the product plan image have the SRT flag. <\/p>\n

This leads one to wonder if the Banshee will be resurrected as a king of the Dodge lineup to be even quicker down the drag strip than the resurrected Hellcats. Or perhaps this is a new showcase model for the Hurricane I6<\/a>? The Hemi may still be in the midst of its comeback tour, but it can\u2019t have all the fun, right? Time will tell. <\/p>\n

\u201cLook, we know this playbook. We wrote this playbook. Dodge will literally be back on track, literally and figuratively, by the end of the plan, and Dodge will be restored to its proper position,\u201d Kuniskis said. \u201c\u2029And we will recover the number one selling muscle car title.\u201d<\/p>\n
