It is getting confusing keeping up with all the changes at Chrysler. SRT went to its own division producing performance cars the first of which was the new Viper. Now, SRT will go back under the Dodge halo. Dodge will produce high performance cars including a new upcoming turbocharged all wheel drive SRT Dart. The Caravan is dead and Chrysler will produce the mainstream cars. Make sense?

This is all fairly confusing but with Dodge set to release the Hellcat supercharged V8 the brand is aiming for high performance and that is fine with us. Chrysler can fill in the mainstream models if that is what they want to do.
