That grille makes my eyes bleed, but other than that its quite nice, and would fit in nicely, with thier styling direction right now.

Good Lord I hope not! That thing looks like a Audi TT and a 300c had sex. This car defines the old saying about the best part running down the leg.

If you realistically scale that down, it would look almost just like the concept car.

If the car is on a shortened LX platform, I think this one would be closer:

I don't see that retro of a front end making production, but it has the other characteristics of an LX car. Tall, flat sides with gun slit windows the most obvious.

Honestly, I would love this version! The one Z284ever posted today is too German sports car looking.

The one about the best part of you ran down you mother's leg.

Or dribbled off her chin, whichever applies.

Re: What R&T thinks the Challenger will look like...

The grille is beyond absurd, and the rest is just so-so. Burningman's Cuda in the C&G link is simply outstanding and looks more like an LX car at the same time: amazing. I'd certainly buy it before the '05 Mustang - and I like the Mustang. The R&T rendering would only be an "also ran" in my book.

If the go with a toned down version of that R&T rendering, I'm going to want one really bad, esp if it gets a scary SRT-8 hood.

Tone it down a bit and that would look great!
