Sadly, the challenger is finding success because it appeals to the types of consumers who can't stop raving about the good old days, and who want every appliance to be a throwback to a "better" time. I can't help but think a lot of your challenger buyers are the types who say "Why can't brands just start making designs from the 50s and 60s exactly as they were again". There are some exceptions, but many of them seem to hate progress, and that just rubs me the wrong way when progress has been the driving force behind virtually every iconic car/product ever made. I'm burned out on nostalia, ok, rant over lol.Just like LSchicago I also feel the V8 engine is what Mustang is all about over the years. However, there is no question in my mind that the days are numbered for the V8. Sadly given the SUV/CUV/Pickup craze I think sports cars sales numbers over the years are loosing market share. Take a peek at the Detroit News chart cut from 2011 and the sales numbers for last year 2021. The Challenger is now outselling the mustang and it is old school sports car?? What is going on in the market?
