New Challenger?

No there is me also. I mean the thing is a coupe and it looks light and fast. But WAY to old school. It needs a little bit of today. That thing is all of yesterday when it comes to looks. Let's hope the actual car looks a little "newer".

Looks like I'm the only guy who doesn't like it. The car itself is too oldschool. Still though, its track times should be sweet!

true, and personally i don't care though if it will make these people STFU. I'm happy with THE CHARGER.

Now isn't it odd that those of us that do not like the charger, like the challenger. I for one think its great. For the "old school" looks... That car was ahead of its time in the 70's. So its just caught up to the present. If you didn't know what a 70-71 challenger looked like would it still be too old school? Talked to my dad about it today, we think we might order one when they become available.
Anybody know where this thing will get built?

For the record, I DO like the Charger, I just felt as if the car should have been named something else, since it is NOT the 2 dr coupe Charger we have always known it as.
That said, I think this car would be better served being a Challenger/Cuda anyways....I like it, mainly cuz I love the old school muscle looks.
I will however not be purchasing this because my new 5th Gen Camaro will come out around the same time

Keep one thing in mind....
The viper is Dodge's flag ship performance car, so whatever engine setup this thing gets, it's going to be slower than a viper. It's going to be far below the Viper in price, so there is no way that Dodge is going to make it faster than the Viper, even if they could.

Are you sure this isnt another Foose/Unique design; like the '69 Camaro the just showed on rides? The reason I ask; is look closely in the pic of the Challenger pic...Doesnt that guy standing by the car resemble Chip Foose?
