Five-Year Flop Dodge Challenger
Dodge reintroduced the Challenger again for a brief five-year stretch as the market was entering the 80s, however, made significant blunders during that timeframe. The Challenger actually was a tough contender on the street racing scene from 1974 until it was withdrawn by Dodge company.
When Dodge chose to reintroduce the vehicle, they attempted for it to look different by placing another emblem in the car as if to symbolize that the vehicle was a product of collaboration between the two companies. But the initial experience of the users was quickly pointing to the vehicle’s flaws.
The Two-Year Run Of The Mercury Cougar XR7
The infamous Mercury Cougar actually was advertised as a luxurious but budget-friendly muscle car in the industry. It featured a boxy design and upholstery that was nearly comparable to the luxury line of vehicles that the company had during the time.
A massive weight increase was among the most noticeable modifications to the vehicle during this time. The increased weight rendered the car to become sluggish in the end which was not something that people were ready to pay for despite the relatively cheaper prices.
