It better be better than the POS Mitsubishi made "Dodge Challenger" from about 77 -78!

 

LOL! yeah those pos's were ho-larious i didnt even know they existed till about a year ago and a lady i work with said she had owned a 78 challenger. i didnt believe her - i thought she was just making a mistake on the year of the car but i looked it up and was surprised!!

 

Personally, the ONLY problem I have with the Stratus is that it is Front-Wheel-Drive. I come from the old school where all true muscle cars were Rear-Wheel-Drive. I do like everything else about the Stratus.

 

the stratus/sebring coupe is some of the best looking sheet metal dodge has.

 

I really hope they don't badge a new eclipse with challenger badges, that would really **** me off. But on the other hand I do see a trend coming with the re-introduction of the charger, HEMI motor, and 300 series cars.

 

Secret spy shot of the new Challenger.

 

I started to see the trend when the fatally disappointing GTO came out. Then the re-release of the Ford GT. Now the Charger. I wouldn't be surprised if a Challenger came out as well. Let's not hope the Charger/Challenger don't end up to be as colossal a disappointment as the GTO(I saw some concepts of it in 99, and if Pontiac would've kept it the same, they would have a slaying).
