I'm not sure. I don't really love it. As you know, I don't like alot of doo-dads and gimmicky details. One thing that I noticed on the Challenger today is, that it's a very clean design, without alot of busy details.

And I agree, the rear fascia can use some tweaking.

I love the Challenger but I just can't believe how friggen HUGE it is (it kind of reminded me of a Plymouth Satillite).

Re: Just back from Detroit!!!!!!!!

Charlie nice to meet you as well. Glad you had a safe trip as well. Dunno how you would tell those guys the interior just didn't cut it, but I have to agree that while its nice, and I LOVE the seats, the rest just didn't do it for me. As for suggestions... I need to sit and gather my thoughts first, but I know thats not what I really want for my interior.

Okay then, please pass this on for me.

1) I LOVE the scowling rear tail light treatment. Keep it and keep the subtle duck tail spoiler.

I DO NOT LIKE the oversized ricer wannabe exhaust outlets.

2) I LOVE the bulging rear fenders. Leave it.

I DO NOT CARE for the gills slits. Don't really hate 'em but I would like a cleaner look. (unless of course you would like to make them functional on a road course burning Z28 model )

3) I LOVE the glowering front end INCLUDING the grill and headlights.

I HATE HATE HATE that air inlet slit.

4) I LOVE the wheel design.

I DO NOT CARE for the cowl hood. It actually looks a bit out of place. It's as if that and the inlet slit were added at the last minute.

5) I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE the interior.

How about a modern / heritage cockpit to match the modern / heritage exterior?

6) While I LOVE how the fender top gas cap looks, holding the hose away from the fender would get old fast.

Please move the gas cap down to the side.


Keep the creases. Keep the edges. Keep the arches. Keep everything else. Great job guys.

Now about the projected curb weight.....

I think that I just posted this in another thread...If you accept the Challenger's size, it is extremely badass.

Oh definitely, just playing, mostly for Charlie's benefit! If I can get a 425- 500 hp Camaro, they can call it the RS as the top model.
