| Re: Dodge Challenger returns... what a waste of everything! the front needs a major redesign. also, playing off of this nostalgia crap won't last. people will realize one day that companies are just playing off of their emotions and memories rather than taking a forward step in actual design. |

| Re: Dodge Challenger returns... I think it looks kind of weak. The Charger and 300C both look more powerful that this. The whole car is also kind of a mismatch in design. It just doesn't look good. It looks awkward.

| Re: Dodge Challenger returns...  Hows that for weak? C'mon thats agressive! Here's the scoop from July: The August issue of Road & Track has a tiny blurb about the possibility of Chrysler resurrecting the Challenger using the LX platform currently dedicated to the 300/Magnum/Charger trio. A concept is reportedly currently in the works for a debut at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show. The coupe would theoretically be easy to design and build and could be, if priced correctly, the first real competition for Ford’s new Mustang. R&T does point out, however, that the plant building the current crop of LX cars is at full production, so adding another model to the assembly line might be difficult.  I wasn’t too sure about the copyright laws concerning the artist’s rendering of the Challenger in R&T, so rather than reproduce it here and get sued I pulled a photoshop job by Doug Schramm off of Autospies instead. I actually like this rendering better than R&T’s, even though it’s oozing retro from every orifice.

| Re: Dodge Challenger returns... What's the point in making a car that looks like it's 30 years old?

I think it's pretty hot- not my personal taste- but I can see it's appeal- especially among people who see German cars as snobbish and beyond their financial means. Pastiche is a copy of a model that doesn't exist. Cliche is a copy of a copy. | |
