That drawing is from Motor Trend I think. It was part of an article called "Cars we would like to see built" or something like that. Also had drawings of a new Ferrari Dino and some other stuff, but regardless, I think it was all done by Motor Trend artists.

all i have seen thus far were drawings by hopeful owners.
i would like someone else to back up this information.

2Coff - I agree with you about the bitching.

It's going to be here in 4 years, not 5. It says 2010 model year, meaning 2009.

In saying that, in 4 years, the Hemi could be putting out more horses. Many things could happen in 4 years. So quit the whining people.

There's good reason to whine about it. First of all, its missed the retro muscle car mark. Second, the design sucks for a concept... I'd rather be driving a Scion Xb. Third, "could" doesn't cut it. I don't think the Hemi will get that big of a Hp boost, but the Mds system would be nice for it...

First, who says there is an official "retro muscle car mark". That's like following clothing trends.

Second, I garuntee you that the Challenger will not look like these concepts.

Third, how do you know what Chrysler will do. They might boost it up quite a bit, you nevere know.

I agree 5 years is a ways off. DC will for sure make the hemis better. But the bad part about 5 years off is that there is plenty of time to kill it, or set it up to fail to validate the coupes don't sell crap.
