Re: Many hints that THIS is the Dodge Challenger.

I'd buy the retro one w/ a 6.1 T-56 for $33K or so.

Any more and it would be pretty dumb not to spend $5K more and get the GT500.

Re: Many hints that THIS is the Dodge Challenger.

The drawings are based on descriptions from those in the know, with alot of liberty taken by the artist, as would be every car drawing made 2 years or more before the real one came out. I think it's safe to say the front end won't look like a Dodge Magnum, and the profile will be a little more than the current Stratus coupe.

Boy, what about that 2006 Detroit show? Should be something else.

Do we really need a re-badge LeBaron?

I thought i'd never say this about a DCX product...but i REALLY like it. If it looks like that I might just be saying "camaro what?"

Re: Many hints that THIS is the Dodge Challenger.

The botton drawing (red) resembles a Mercedes to me (I know it's not ) but that Dodge front end never resembled a Benz to me before is all I'm saying

Re: Many hints that THIS is the Dodge Challenger.

Ugh...looks really soft, not agressive enough. I would deffinatly pass on a Challenger that looked like that. Charger is much more agressive looking.
And really...enough with the Dakota grill ok?

Re: Many hints that THIS is the Dodge Challenger.

Looks just like the Charger only with 2 doors. Boring, unaggressive, uninspiring, has nothing to do with any Challenger ever, etc. Which all makes it even more like the Charger. This is the way different we were expecting?

Yea, everytime I see that front end I think "TRUCK". They really need to go to a different theme on the front.
