That's a lot of car added in a lot of places. Add in the unimaginative retro-blocky styling and adds up to a car that looks massive.

I saw it in person twice, it looks more boulevard cruiser "let me tell you how fast I think I can drive" than canyon carver. It's a big car, bo getting around it.

Re: Pics: Challenger on the Streets

It looks very nice, but is the underhood going to look that clean on the production version? Or is that car just kind of stripped down and basically lacking alot of the wiring harnesses and electronic hardware that it would normally have?

Hmmmm. It just doesn't look that big to me. I think it looks damn good. The Camaro just looks WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better.

Re: Pics: Challenger on the Streets

guys ya gotta remember this car WAS huge in 1970..the size of it that is..
like the 73 Mustangs..HUGE..
the 06 stang and the Camaro concept were designed on the smaller pony car size..where the challenger only really has the larger car to go by..

Yeah.... But the whole arguement for the Charger was that "If we had kept making it, it would have looked like this anyway." which is probably true.

Now they are taking a completely different approach here. "If we had kept making it and touched nothing but internals this is how it would look"

So they aren't above changing things. We'll see how it sells.

To each their own, but I like plain and simple.

Re: Pics: Challenger on the Streets

This car if produced will be sold out. I think I'll put my name on the list now, just in case.

I'm a huge GM fan, always been. But the new Camaro doesn't do it for me. The Challenger does.

It's definitely got that Dodge touch to it that you can't put your finger on, something that stands out, and not always in a good way. Like the tail lights/whole rear.
