Re: Spy pics: Dodge Challenger Concept Car

Eh, although it does look alright, I really don't like the extreme retro-ness of it. I would think they could use heritage cues and hint at it without copying the front end of an old Challenger.

I'm really hoping for a very modern Camaro concept with some hints of the past in it...

Re: Spy pics: Dodge Challenger Concept Car

My first impression of it wasn't great, but the more i look at it now, the more i like it. I'm sure it'll look better in person. And it sure as hell beats the charger in looks.

It looks really heavy though. I know it's a concept for now, but assuming production version stays true to concept form, i don't see this coming in under 3,800lbs with the Hemi. 3,700 at the least. Just speculation on my part based off looks alone. I wonder what kinda diet they'll put the challenger coupe on vs charger sedan.

Holy ****!! Are you kidding me? Wow, I love it. I'd like to see a side by side picture of a few '68-'70 Chargers next to this concept.

Re: Spy pics: Dodge Challenger Concept Car

I can't believe how much it looks like a 70 model. That is ****ing awesome! I was worried they were gonna make it a cross between a 300 and a Ram truck like they did the Charger, but that right there is dead on 100% what a Challenger should look like. They build it like that I'll be the 1st in line to buy.

Re: Spy pics: Dodge Challenger Concept Car

If it looks anything like that when it hits production, two things will happen.

1. It will do quite well against the Mustang and anything GM has in it price range.

2. I will buy one.

Re: Spy pics: Dodge Challenger Concept Car

You can no longer call the Mustang the most retro car out there. This takes retro to a new level.

Now more than ever I hope the Camaro is NOT retro. How rediculus would that be to have a retro muscle car from each auto maker. Now the Camaro can actually be be the modern one out there.

Re: Spy pics: Dodge Challenger Concept Car

Wow...just a Xerox copy of a 1970...now there's an original thought.....hell, it even has chrome trim at the rear quarter window!....

But, I'll have to say, it's 1,000 X better than that Charger turd....

Re: Spy pics: Dodge Challenger Concept Car

Looks pretty good, the retro muscle car fans will love it. This car really stands out from the crowd.

I hope the camaro looks a lot more modern though.

Good work Dodge.
