that photoshop is awesome, but i dont really like the grill
I agree, the grille needs some work. This was probably just a very quick photochop, and my main point is the body design. I think it illustrates an excellent modernized take on the 68-70 body style. The grille could be made wide and blunt like a '68, but to properly achieve that, the pointy nose would have to be modified to be flat across.

I made a very rough stab at applying a better retro nose. It would need a slightly longer front overhang to really make it look good though. I'll attach it if I can figure out how to that is...

(and to credit the original chopper... here's a link)

Man that Charger SRT-8 looks nice. It especially looks good in black. Anyways, I thought the spoiler looked alright for that car. Of course you could always get a new and better one custom made. Just a suggestion!

I don't know about coupe stuff. Unless its to be built at a different plant than the one all the other LX cars are built (brampton assy). I have a few friends there and they say no other LX platform vehicles are coming anytime soon. I hope one comes too, but I would not hold my breath for one.
Nothing's for certain, but there are some "interesting" things here (for starters, read the tidbit about Brampton) [sm=interesting.gif]


Heres the thing though, if there was to be a coupe coming even in a year there would be somthing going on in brampton by now. And the truth of the matter is there is not. Plus I would think an entire different platform would be needed to support a coupe. Where is that going to come from? Like I said before, I hope one is coming, but I'm still not holding my breath.

I think they are waiting to see how the 4-door sells. Too many people are jumping to conclusions. I hate that.

Chase do you realize even if this storied coupe was green lighted tomorrow it would still be at least two years before we saw it? So even if your right and they wait to see how sales are that will add on another year or two. Then the moment will be lost and driveways all over the states will have mustangs and GTO's in them. Like I said before I hope one is coming too, but I'm not very hopeful.

I dunno, I never see any GTO's. I have seen 2, that's it.

I know what you are saying. I dunno. I guess I am also pissed that there is no coupe and I'm just trying to be positive, that's all.

I understand, its very unnerving to watch the company lose such an opportunity as this. But even though I know you hate this, but yet again another reason for the "dumbler" name!
