Dodge cans '15 Hellcat orders, ups 2016 allocation

Fiat Chrysler US (FCA US) will terminate as many as 900 present orders for 2015 Dodge Hellcat versions (Charger and Challenger) due to manufacturing constraints. Dodge's generation output struggles to satisfy the demand of present orders set for 2015 versions prior to the assembly line changes around to the 2016 model-year.
FCA US is unclear as to just how many person orders will likely be canceled, stating the "900" amount could contain duplicate orders put by prospective buyers at multiple car dealers. Clients with unfilled 2015 orders will be given a coupon letting them obtain a 2016 version at 2015 pricing. These coupons is likely to be non-transferrable. The good thing for prospective Hellcat buyers is the fact that FCA is assuring to boost output of the 707-hp creatures for the 2016 model-year. Based on Automotive News, generation will more than double when compared with the 2015 model-year. "It is not a few more; it is a a good deal more," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis told the factory store, assuring that the build speed will more than double without proposing a total production amount. Complete Hellcat out-put for 2015 surpassed 4,000 models. The business raised output in March after warning clients that lots of dishonest dealers were getting orders and deposits for Hellcat-run Chargers and Competitors that will probably not be made for the 2015 model-year. Dealers apparently placed orders for over 9 9,000 models by mid March.Kuniskis formerly told Automotive Information. "We quit taking all Hellcat orders months past so that people could catch-up to that particular demand, and then we are going to start the 2016s." Even with the limited access to the 707-hp Challengers and Chargers, Kuniskis proposes the Hellcat versions have successfully functioned as 'aura' versions that help generate revenue of conventional bundles. The business has sold about 88,000 muscle vehicles so far this year.
