That's good for a party trick, but I think most buyers are looking for more 'well-rounded' vehicles.Well, they could do one one, by putting the SRT in a Fiat Spider? (Think Sunbeam Tiger or AC Cobra!)
It's not really a knock on them, it's just not what I'm looking for.

All of the core elements of the SRT performance engineering team have been integrated into our company’s global engineering organization”, a spokeswoman for Stellantis told us. “This action will have the two-way benefit of ensuring that our brands’ SRT and performance-focused product offerings continue to meet the highest quality standards and expectations while delivering key learnings from motorsports and other high-performance-technology applications across a wider mix of our company’s product lines”.
“These products have delighted enthusiasts for nearly two decades, and Stellantis will continue to sell and develop the next generation of Dodge//SRT-branded vehicles, as well as Jeep® and Ram vehicles that utilize high-performance SRT technology”, the spokeswoman added.
So it seems that while the SRT team has been disbanded, SRT engineers will now be mixed with performance engineers from the PSA side of Stellantis and both teams will be able to work on high-performance projects across all brands in the Stellantis portfolio.

I had a few MB sedans with the 4matic over the years but I prefer the height of the SUV and the ability to put anything I want within reason in the cargo area.That explains my GL. And the diesel for towing.
