Looks pretty good, though, I don't know how much longer American auto companies can play this retro thing. Retro K car anyone?

 

You got beat by one minute. Even seconds- https://www.rx8club.com/general-automotive-49/new-challenger-77020/

You have teh win for link and pictures.

 

Well since I forgot to put the link in, I guess my thread can be closed - no need for 2 of them.

 

Looks good. I always like the Challenger because it was the Barracuda's cousin. With Plymouth out of the mix, this is as close as we're gonna get to the return of the mighty Hemi Cuda!

 

Wow, talk about retro styling!

 

that front 3/4 view is horrendous. i'm officially over this "retro styling +/- huge engine" craze that american automakers are going for. the car died out years ago for a reason, get over it.

 

I actually like it better than the Charger, this should have been the Charger anyway! I think they should build a limited number of them as a collector series and sell enough to just go over breaking even

 

I agree, the front end looks too much like the old one. The Charger is a better looking car by far.

 

I like it--its what the charger should've been

 

Just wait til they announce the Challenger is FWD with a 2.5L I4

 

The equivalent of blowing their own brains out.

 

Looks a little like the concept charger back from 99ish.
I think they should have done this to the charger, because it looks like *** currently.

 

Good point Blue,

I for one am getting pretty sick of this retro thing. Sure the Mustang came out pretty good looking, but enough is enough... Can we get back to designing ORIGINAL and exciting vehicles?


Maybe that's why we all love the RX-8 so much...

 

Considering how American cars have looked in the past two decades--if retro is what they need to make sh*! that looks good--so be it. With the 350HP 5.7L and the 425HP motor going in there--I like it!

 

i'd hit it. This kind of car is definitely more along my style from noticing the way i drive. Id get it in hemi orange and maybe even put an 01 on the side. Im gonna be very curious in the next two years about a next move.

 

Looks suspiciously like the Camaro "concept" drawing that's been floating around for a couple of years. Particularly from the rear 3/4, and the wheels. That front is nasty though.

 

looks waaaaay too old fashoined for me. It looks like an old car with a brand new paint job. Ugh! Too much retro styling from America these days. In the long run everyone will agree that Ford got it right. The Mustang though retro still looks somewhat fresh. They've gotta put some futurish elements in these cars. Chrysler is rushing their cars to market. Look at the Solstice, it's not retro and it looks damn good. Retro isn't everything. it's just a fad. Who wants a car that looked like their parents car.

 

Chrysler has gone way too far. Come up with something original!

 

took the words right outta my mouth

 

That is freakin Sweet!

 

i would take one in a second if i could afford it

 

I'd hit it.

If DC prices it against the Mustang... that'd be a tough decision.

Hemi Vs Shelby GT500... it's the good 'ol days all over again.

 

What is it with this country. Can't we come up with an original thought any more. Not only is it Retro-Car styling, but look at the movies and television. Except for a few shining examples, these industries have to recycle old things. What ever happend to taking a chance on something new?
I like the new Challenger design and have long been a fan of Chrysler, but come on America. Take a chance.
I will now get off the soapbox.

 

I agree to an extent, but it's really nothing new. I went to pick up my nephew from highschool last week and I swear I saw Bobby, Peter, Greg and a few of the Monkeys. What's up with the 70's hair coming back? Looks lame.

 

HA, I see that as well!
