Default RE: Dodge needs to go in a different design direction

I just don't get the crossover, but as stated previously, I never lusted after an SUV. The thing I love about the Challenger is that across the spectrum, it's impracticality will be offset by it's intended application.

For the majority, SUV's, in this country, IMHO, serve the purpose of allaying any distaste or perceived uncoolness of being seen in a mini-van. Typically soccer moms hauling kids and groceries. So the crossover, to me, seems like the evolution of the SUV back into a minivan because it's a tool that has been over used and typically used for the wrong purpose.

Mirada, the one exception I give to the Avenger, is the exact same one you mention. The StormTrooper Avenger, is a powerful looking vehicle. The rest of the avengers...mini Chargers morphed w/ Caliber front ends or vise versa.
