Camaro puts Challenger in the dark; Challenger gets NO mention whatsoever...

Has anyone noticed that the past few days there's been little to no mention what-so-ever of the Challenger? I watched the news tonight (being here in Detroit, there's heavy coverage of the auto show), and I saw one glimpse of the Challenger and the rest was all about the Camaro tonight. Heck, the local channel 7 news station, WXYZ, has a commercial they showed with a brief clip of the unveiling and one of the newscasters talking about the engine and how great it is. The Camaro sure took the spotlight!

Well, the Challenger has had it's day already by being released a week or two ago. It has been in every major automove publication, often on the cover, so it has had it's share of press. What it didn't have was a big, grand unvailing since they choose to release the info to the press ahead of the auto show.

I feel bad because the Challenger actually does look like an amazing looking car. They're both gorgeous; it's just the Camaro is much nicer.

Maybe that is why they leaked the Challenger before the show.

Maybe it's the fact that the Challenger looks the exact same as a 70s one. Camaro actually DOES something innovative and moves atleast a little forward in design.

The Challenger was very badass. It looked MUCH more production ready than the Camaro.

But this is no ponycar. No sir. It's a fullsized coupe. But it looked awesome. It was funny, between the Camaro and Challenger....the GT500 almost looked frumpy.

You mad, man. Compare the two side by side. The Camaro has way more lines than the Challenger.

That is bland compared to this.

ONE IS DULL AS LEAD, THE OTHER IS A LEAD BULLET!

I don't think so.But,that is my opinion.The Camaro just doesn't do it for me.I hope the production model looks better,for GM'S sake.If it makes it that far.

the Challenger looks like something you'd see in an old Playstation game from the back.
