RE: Anti-V6?
I will not call you a jerk. I do think your assumptions about price are 180 degrees off. The addition of a V6 will help to hold price down by creating more choices not drive up the price. The more exclusive you make something the higher the price becomes. Yes, they will be base models (I am certain) much like the current Charger lineup with SXT, RT, etc...
I do think you should get ready to swallow hard and endure because my guess (& HOPE) is a V6 will get made. Unlike you I want people to enjoy this car and participate in the fun. If they can only afford it a a V6 price point then all the better.
