I will put a down payment on one of those tomorrow if that is what they are going to build. Let's all say a prayer that the krauts won't booger this one up like the Barger.

I like this quote from the link XS posted:

Quote:

"We wanted to do a muscle coupe that connects with the American heritage," said Tom Tremont, vice president for advance product design for the Chrysler Group.






Hmmm... Nope, that's not Trevor Creed being quoted there. Hopefully, the design guys banished him from the studios!

I'm not a big fan of the retro look at all, but that car looks good. Talk about being pleasantly surprised.

Gotta show these pics to my wife, hopefully I can talk her out of the SRT-8 Charger and into waiting for this.

that is definatly not a hoax, photoshopped pictures have something to them that definatly can be seen, hard to tell but you know something is off. with these pictures it just looks too real, and with autoweek bringing it forth, there is no doubts in my mind its real as I respect that magazine a lot. Its all really simple, DCX had to bring in the 4 door cars to make money, thats what sells. and they are awsome 4 doors compared to the competition, no one disagrees there. Now we get to enjoy the outcome of a very succesful run of the LX cars. The Viper didnt just pop out of nowhere, it took the profits earned from soccer moms everywhere buying minivans for a decade to do something like that. Now we see it with the Challenger. I dont think DCX would make this a concept either with no intentions of a production run, that would make us all go insane! I think theyve been listening to us all along, these guys are enthusiasts too afterall and im sure they wanted something like this. I just cant wait to see these things spanking the competition, and should start saving my down payment now!

now that i like... i think the front should be less flat like in the drawing but the rest is nice.. i will still believe it when i see it on the dealers lot... knowing the idiots at chrysler they will probably price it at $60,000..






It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Yeah, that 68 Dodge Challenger really started the pony cars for Chrysler. Plus, that 67 Barracuda I have is soooo much different than the 68s that I can see why they would say that.

Let's hope they get that new Challenger to the showrooms ASAP. As for first year cars, I have 2 first year Mopars and I'm very happy (Pacifica and Magnum R/T).

I would buy that, if it makes it to production the way it looks there. Hopefully it won't be another bait & switch the way the '99 Charger concept was.

Chrysler sure does love that Burnt Orange (GoManGo).

It looks good from the front, but that back shot makes the front fender look funny. Maybe just the angle?

well unlike the charger unveiling, this one gets the thumbs up.

manuals trans and a pistol grip, it's almost too good to be true. I like it and would definately consider buying one on about a year when I'll be in the market for a car.

so is the SRT-8 version gonna have a shaker..

I guess retro is not dead after all

You could get a stripper Mustang for less money, but when comparing cars with similar options, the GTO and Mustang are priced pretty close to eachother. The GTO is a better car, so while it is a bit more money, it's still a better value IMO.

I wouldn't call the GTO a flop either. The 05's outsold the 04's by nearly 2 to 1. It never did and never will sell as many as the Mustang, but Pontiac never expected it too either.

I like alot. The front end has a bit of the 71 challenger look to it. Not to fond of the rear end lites but who cares. If they actually
go ahead with it, I'm in!.

That's pretty nice. I'm not a big E-body fan, but still this is waaaayyy better...

Wonder if it will be affordable to regular folk, or if it's just gonna be for the priviledged?

Guess we will just have to wait & see.

Trevor Creed is Tom Tremont's boss. In fact, Trevor Creed is Head of the entire design department.
