Default "Pony" car survey - Challenger leads!

The CAA (Canadian Automobile Association) is running a survey on the best "new" pony car.

Lets take this one.
go to http://www.caamagazine.ca to vote.

Mustang trolls have discovered the survey though and are posting it all over their forums, so they may pass us up if you don't go vote. Chally's currently in the lead with 44%

Also FYI, you can vote as many times as you like.

Sorry but the new Challanger doesn't do it for me. The front looks great, but the backs are hideous and so are the 20" rims. When did the Challengers of the 60s and 70s have 20" rims on them. Too ghetto for me. The Mustang & Camaro both look awesome but the interior of the Camaro ruins it for me. And now that the Mustang is going to come with a rumored 400-425 hp 5.0, I think if I had to choose between the 3, it would probably be the Mustang. The Camaro is awesome but the interior just ruins it. The Challanger looks awesome from the front, but horrible in the back. Where as the Mustang looks pretty good all around.

Just MY OPINION though. I would LOVE to see people buying Camaros, Mustangs, and Challangers, over STi's, Evos, and other imports though. I would take any of the 3 really. Its awesome to see the muscle cars making a come back. I saw a Z06 on the show room floor the other day when my sister bought a Cobalt SS, and it was beautiful, and its got the motor to back it up... Amazing car.

The GT500 has ***** and the cool factor where as the Vette is sleek and a road car so I don't know what I'd take.

Z06 and GT500 are not pony cars. Part of a pony car is "cheap". Of course cheap being a relative term.

I like the rear of the Challenger as well as the front. It looks very close to the 70 Challenger. I personally like the 05-09 Mustang exterior more than the '10. I don't like the rounded off corners in the rear. The Camaro just doesn't do anything for me. The bodylines are too high I guess, it looks like somebody stepped on the rook and smashed it down. Many like it, I just do not care for it. I would take a new Challenger or 09 Mustang GT for sure. Since I have a Mustang already, I would opt for the SRT8 6 speed Challenger I think. I do like the B5 blue R/T package though.

Challenger is @ 74%, Mustang 21% and the Obama Motors Camaro has a whopping 5%
