The Dodge Demon Won’t Return for 2019

Tom Kuniskis, the Dodge boss-man himself, talked to Allpar.com on the record, saying after 2018 it’s curtains for the Demon. He warned that anyone who’s banking on the car returning will miss their opportunity. This squares with the message Kuniskis has been spreading to the media for months. But, alternative facts aren’t something reserved just for politics – we have them in the auto industry, too.

Some dealerships are claiming that the Demon will return for 2019. One rationalization is that by saying the Demon is going away, Dodge is pumping up demand or testing to see how people react. Sure, automakers sometimes test the water, but I think some dealers are just too used to playing games, so they think everyone does. Kuniskis is a pretty straightforward guy, so when he says the same thing over and over, I’m inclined to believe him.
