I have two issues with that picture. One, any color other than black would have been great, but black hides so many of the cars' details. Two, it looks like they're using the Camaro with the pre-production headilghts.

I'm a big fan of the Challenger, love the Camaro... and yeah, ok, the new Mustangs look nice too.

But this picture makes the Challenger look very plain compared to the other two. Might be because of the color though like shock said.

No other color works for me. I love black!!!

I wish the Mustang and the Camaro could have been side-by-side.

Still can't get "into" the Challenger.

Give it time, some rag will have them lined up side by side.

It would be interesting to have them stacked big to small (say lining them up by the rear wheel) and do a side shot Challenger/Camaro/Mustang just to see how things play out.

Or the angle. You really only get a front view of the Challenger. Then again, you don't get much of a view of the Mustang.

Oh well, doesn't matter. I know what it looks like.

This one shows a little more of the slab sided of the Challenger.

Some cars look best from the side\front view, the challenger is defenetly a side/rear looker.

Wow. Amazing how much attention these cars get right now. Look at the people and how many of them are looking directly at these cars. Obviously SOMETHING is being done right by the big 3.

Edited that for you. I don't see anyone looking at the 5th gen or mustang in that pic.

Also worth noting that pic is a good one for the game "which one of these doesn't belong"...as in the 5th gen is the only one in that picture not for sale (not even close to sale for that matter, while challenegr has already started it's second model year), and even worse, isn't even in final trim. Way to go GM, playing follow the leader and being late to the party again.

Funny, as bad as the pre pro headlights are, the first thing i notice when i see that 5th gen is the stupid mail slot.

Look at the size of the windshield on the Challenger compared to the Mustang and Camaro...

"sold by the acre".

There was a guy that pulled into work today to cancel his oil change appointment on his car, I think he traded it in. Anyway, he for an '09 V6 Challenger. The thing is actually smaller than it looks in the pics. Sure it is larger than a Mustang, but not by that much. I think it looked larger because of the greenhouse. It is big for a 2dr, but is small looking if you compare it to it LX siblings.

Then again, I am a little partial to the Mustang.

Great pic. Wheels on the Camaro suck though.
