I'm not gonna list them, part of the stipulation of my being told them. Besides, if you're watching a card game, you aren't going to reveal each player's hands.

I expect it to have a shorter wheelbase than Charger...but still be a relatively large coupe.
It's going to be shorter by far than the LX. I don't know the details, but it's not gonna be a big car.

I'm thinking current GTO sized.

I was thinking the same thing. GTO sized at the smallest. Remove 10" of wheelbase from the LX and your around 190".

I've seen them, and no, I don't think they stand out any more than the other LX cars running around. Again I say, what we have in the new Charger is a simple re-hash of the Chrysler 300, with a subtle fin crease in the rear quarters and a Dodge front end. To each his own I guess, but I'm not seeing what makes the Dodge so special compared to what we already had.

Better, though it still has the slab-sided, gun slit windowed look of the usual LX line. If this is what it looks like and I was forced to pick an LX car, this would be it without hesitation.

If this is true, then Chrysler has one sale.

Back in Black

Saw a black Charger SXT this weekend driving next to and then passing me. Good looking car. Great presence, especially looking in your rear view mirror at the front. Chargers, like most cars I suppose, definitely looks best in dark colors.

Re: Challenger concept at Detroit......that's 6 months from now!

From the current LX lineup, I think it is pretty accurate to say that the Challenger will not have any reto styling cues to it. I'm expecting something aggresive though, like the 300.

There's going to be other cars "of intrest" at NAIAS this coming season.

Make your reservations now.
I wonder if you're reffering to GM bringing out something I can get excited about?!?!?!!?? You can't be, I checked the calendar, it isn't 2015.
