I disagree with the article substantially; the truth is that Dodge is a dying brand, and the charger and challenger were never practical muscle cars - mostly because Dodge is less part of any racing series. The Ford Mustang is having a resurgence in actually being a sports car, because Ford is investing in Lemans and Imsa.

Honda, Toyota, Cadillac, Ford are the major performance cars these days... And Hyundai has a much bigger investment than Dodge. The consolidation of Mercedes, VW, Porsche, and Audi is an interesting challenge to the segment; Bmw and Mazda are also in the game.
