Last week Ford said the Bronco would be unveiled spring 2020. However, the Bronco R Baja racer was just unveiled. It's believed the body is derived from the production big Bronco.. I like what I'm seeing..

The 2020 Ford Bronco R Will Race At The Baja 1000

Fifty years ago, Rod Hall and Larry Minor drove to victory at the Baja 1000 in Ford’s now-iconic red, white, and black Bronco with a blue roll cage. Today, in the middle of the hot Nevada desert, Ford unveiled its retrofuturistic successor, the 2020 Ford Bronco R, which in 15 days will take part...

Here is the bronco that the new race car is based on. The one that won in '69.

This Is What It's Like To Ride In The 1969 Baja 1000-Winning Ford Bronco

Only one four-wheel-drive vehicle in history has won the Baja 1000 overall, and it’s this one. Driven to the victory by Rod Hall and Larry Minor, the story goes that in those early days of the race there were hardly any roads and certainly no useful maps, making it an incredibly difficult...

I don’t think that’s true. Chrysler is the only domestic participant in mini-vans and they’re number 1 when you combine sales of the various models. Challenger sales have grown every year for four years in a row and Charger’s muscle car feel in a four-door car is strong in the US market.

Even more interestingly, customers driving more humble sedans like the Toyota Avalon and Chevrolet Impala don’t seem to be interested in the Charger.

Dodge Challenger Sales Finally Cool Off, Following Industry Trends

After four years of strong sales growth based on the 2015 redesign and the Hellcat Hemi, Dodge Challenger sales appear to be declining as the industry as a whole slows down.

I agree with you on all of that. They are fine. They never sell the numbers other two and are not expected to.

The only true dogs they havein their lineup are the Dodge Journey and the Chrysler 300. I could say the promaster van they are dogs but Dodge vans never sold well.

Everything else is doing ok.

I have a Dodge Dakota as my beater truck a 4cly 5 speed. Nothing wrong with it but I am not kidding myself why I bought it. Got it used and did because it was tons cheaper (less than half of what tacomas were priced) than a Tacoma, ranger, or anything else that age and it is a bit bigger. Have put over 80k on it and not many repairs. Great truck just bad paint so it looks like a beater the way I want it to.

The only problem I have with Chrysler products is they don't seem to hold value well.

I knew it was gonna be a scary price.

I never thought it would get to 50k.

My guess was about 35k. Man I guess the the SJ is no longer a secret in the collector world. Crap

I wanted a SJ or an fj55 iron pig. Both are hard to find but the use to be cheap.

This will make them the 4th largest manufacturer in the world.
At least until poor quality control catches up with them.
I think Peugeot models will find a tough sell in the US if they decided to import some of those. The last model they imported was the 504 I think. It wasn’t great. Americans don’t seem to like French quirkiness that much.
