Big news today out of Chrysler Fiat: “the SRT family of vehicles will be consolidated under the Dodge brand.” We never understood why SRT was spun off in the first place, so this makes sense to us.

So how about the next five years? Well, the Dart will finally get the SRT treatment for 2016. We all also see an all-new Journey in 2016. Then, in 2018 we will see an all-new Charger and Challenger. Meanwhile, the Avenger will be killed off this year and the Grand Caravan will go away in 2016. Press release after the jump!
