Motorious.com is reporting that an unconfirmed report from Automotive News Canada claims production of the Dodge Challenger and Charger is being moved from Ontario, Canada to the United States. Here is an excerpt from the article: "As you might imagine, Canadians are none too happy to hear this, especially the Premier of Ontario Doug Ford. However, Stellantis is looking to shake things up these days, and with the current generations of the two muscle cars ending in 2023 it’s the perfect time to bring them back to the U.S.A. Ford, who has been criticized by some of his constituents recently for what they characterize as ruling with an iron fist, claims he’s getting the runaround from Stellantis. He initially was “blindsided” when reports of the Brampton Assembly Plant closing broke. Now he’s upset at the “mixed messages” and told the media he’s looking for “someone to be honest.” Ford seems to think this is an issue of Stellantis needing some incentives to keep the factory open, but we have a feeling there’s more to this decision than just that. There’s some speculation that the shuttering of the Brampton Assembly Plant might mean curtains for the Challenger and Charger nameplates. That seems far-fetched but Stellantis has been pretty intent on angering American muscle car fans since the mega automaker was formed earlier this year, so it’s possible. Even if the nameplates survive, the next-gen cars might be a mere shadow of what we have now, so brace yourselves for that possibility as well."

I'm cautious when I read articles like this. I think the author or media outlet exaggerates or twists the facts in order to make more people read the article. More readers equals more advertisers and more revenue. "Unconfirmed report..." "we have a feeling that..." "some speculation..." makes me ask "who said this?"
