    The Challenger SE is pretty cool....but I still would prefer a Hemi though.

    I love the car, I wish they would make it more of a muscle car only like the Corvette. Now it'll be ghettofied with dubs ALL THE TIME like the Charger.

    Looks like B5 blue is coming back though! (kinda)

    Tight. I love the R/T. All it needs is a 6.1 cam and the electric cutout on the exhaust from my Ram.

    I like the body style. It is about time that they came out with some kind of two door model. I dont think that the actual production model will look that good however. I am surprised to see that the interior looks like what the real one will most likely look like. But just like the Charger I doubt that it will come in a stick. I cant wait to see the SRT version.

    There doesn't seem to be a huge difference between the R/T and the blue one besides the bigger rims. Am I missing something?

    I never understand the criticism on plastic interiors. It's black, it's easy to clean, and it works. The problem lies...where? Who gives a sh*t about how much plastic is in the interior? The Challenger finds it's appeal where it matters, with the body and the HEMI.

    They look ok, but everyone's right when they realize that's the same steering wheel from the magnum and the other chargers... sucky.

    Plus you can't get a manual tranny until 09.

    It's going to blow and probably fall apart... like so many other fine Chrysler products, besides of course, Ram trucks. Since they are a different breed.

    How can you have a A$$ kickin Dodge without a Hurst "Pistol-Grip" Shifter? That would just be wrong.

    I think this car will be a big success. It actually has alot of similarities to the original and i think that will appeal to the older muscle car guys. IMO the car is sex.

    From a design perspective... all that the current "retro" trend tells me is that American car designers are out of good fresh ideas. EVERY American car company is going retro... ford brought back the old mustang and thunderbird look, chevy is bringing back the old camaro look, now this from Dodge. In the design world, it looks really bad. I'm not the only one who has the "out of fresh ideas" notion about American auto design. The consequences of that are going to be felt for a while. Because what's happening is that when designers graduate from school and start looking for jobs, they want to work with the forward-thinking design firms. The "it" auto design houses to work for are Pininfarina (obviously), Audi, DesignWorks (BMW), and Honda. The cream of the crop designers have always gone to the first three, and then it almost becomes like a draft pick, and it trickles down from there. Round 2 picks would go to Nissan, Benz, etc.. Round 3 to Toyota, VW... and it goes on and on. With American design being basically stale as far as designers are concerned, their design houses are moving farther and farther to the bottom of the list. Why should a young designer want to work for them and re-make a car that was made 40 years ago when they can work for Toyota and build concepts that push the limits of what is possible using today's most up to the minute technology? Because of that, American design houses are going to start getting the "bottom of the bucket" designers. The people who eeked through school and are just mediocre designers. From time to time I'm sure there will be the people who are good and had childhood aspirations of desiging Fords, for example, and will go to them, but for the most part, by doing retro vehicle after retro vehicle, these companies are shooting themselves in the foot.

    That vicious cycle that I was just talking about has basically been happening since the early 90s, and to be honest, I blame it on the reason that domestic companies are moving to the retro idea in the first place. Domestic companies have been left in the dust by European and Japanese (primarily) companies, and the few new cars that have come out in the last 15-20 cars have been mostly junk. There's a few that are doing ok, but your basic lineup of vehicles has remained the exact same. By the time an American company DOES come out with a new vehicle, take the Cadillac XLR convertible, they have dumped so much money into getting a good design on it that the price of the vehicle is through the roof.

    Long story short, I'm tired of seeing retro cars, and if American companies know what's good for them, they will knock it off, take their heads out of the 60s and 70s, and catch up with the rest of the world.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    And about the Challenger... that interior is atrocious. Let it be plastic all you want, but it needs to look nice. And that is UGLY.
