Default What I think abought the Challenger..

This is based on looks only, I like the look of the car, but to me its nothing but a two door charger, graanted, the challenger looks great, but not enough to convince me to pay insane prices for one.

I wounder if thiers a convertable in the works, the body has the styling for it as the back seat is useless...

Once the 6 speed manual comes out The Challanger will be complete its a shame the Hemi only puts out 425 hsp The orange color needs to go too lol Its already all over the road <just my opinion>

It will have more than 425hp in the future.
Why would you get rid of Hemi orange?
The Challenger will never compete until it's not fat.

I agee with the Hemi orange, looks like the paint is missing a confederate flag and a black 01 I'm convinced this new challenger is alot bigger car than the 70 t0 74 Challenger.

I also faver the 6sp manual with the 6.1 But 75 grand cdn for one is a littel nutty, Hopefuly prices will drop as more units hit the road..

Just wait until the R/Ts come out then there will be more on the road and prices won't be marked up because of stupid high demand. I personally would wait until next year to buy one when they start offering some incentives to get them off the lots.

Who cares if the challenger is just a different body and style on the charger chassis, I could care less it looks so damned good. Oh and there is backseat room in the car, I watched a video review and the reviewer was sitting in the back of the car with a good amount of headroom. You gotta figure its just a two door version of the charger so theres probably more room in the back of a challenger than you are giving it credit for.

You guys know that colors are optional right? They come in other colors if you don't like orange.

i like the challenger i drove one at my dads dealership they have 2 of them there black and orange. sweet car looks like a real old school muscle car. i was disapointed about not being a stick. but all in all a solid car. rides smooth shifts nice. the seats up front are nice. i also dont think the carbon fiber vinyl on the hood was necessary. next model with a stick will be intresting to drive
