It just seems a bit odd that they would have a Toyota. Wouldn't DC have their own personal photographers to do that ? I myself don't even think that they're photographers. The car might have been being tested. For all we know, This could be a highly customized Charger. Remember those Chevelle's being built by Aloha automotive a year or so ago that were based on GTO's ?
I'm not trying to "crush the dream". But people are getting excited over this car thinking they're going to be ordering the same exact thing they see here. Remember the Hemi 300 Convertible concept a few years ago ? And how can we forget the Charger we were promised in '99.

the charger we were promised???? I remember the day that concept was unveiled, that my hopes for its production were crushed as soon as I read "its Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel produces negligible emissions at the tail pipes." I for one was never expecting anything more than a concept out of that one.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. No one promised you anything, nor owes you anything in regards to the concept 99 charger. I'll keep my personal opinions about that particular car out of this (I thought it was ugly as all get-out) but regardless, it was a concept vehicle, like a number of concepts that never make it to market, like a convert superbird. did you hold an eternal grudge against the company when they didn't send that one out the production line bay doors? I think its just a bandwagon thing now. Like "See who can hate daimler more and seem like an angstfilled teenager"

Could thay cram anymore objects, scenery & shadows into those photos?
The point is that the objects and scenery are part of what makes it obviously real. most photochopped vehicles don't have people and other vehicles around, let alone all the shadows that would have to be matched and scenery that could get fumbled around on the outter edge of the main project. Furthermore, why include photographers and photography equipment, then put your name on the photo, the name of a renound spy shot photographer.
If its fake, someone is paying THOUSANDS of dollars and going really out of there way just to make some people think it might happen, and then even still, for chrysler to admit that it is goign to be shown at auto shows? I understand the original few "i dunno, it looks a little fakeish" comments, but after all that has come to light, come on guys.

 I have spoken to three seperate sources today that I consider reliable.
1) The concept car exists
2) The spy pictures are real (although one source had not seen them before I showed him)
3) Sounds like the car may be much closer to production than we thought, ie. 2007 model released next year (in line with what MM said Eric Andrew told him)
4) No pricing information yet
5) There may be minor differences from the concept car, but no '99 Charger concept car fiasco...
I trust these people, and fully BELIEVE that this will happen... I can hardly wait for January and late next year (actually maybe next Summer).
I will be off-line for the next several days, don't need the distraction of the arguments about whether the car is real. I haven't seen it, but fully believe it is!
Maybe when I get back on-line this weekend it will be all sorted out... right?!? 
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

I can also confirm the car is real.....confirmed through my own sources who have seen the vehicle first hand. I guess all we can do, for those of us who genuinely like it and want to see it get built, is make sure we tell dcx. Haven't been to the DETROIT AUTO SHOW (aka naias  ) in years but I will go just to put in a good word for that car and do some schmoozin'.

I didn't, because I didn't think they would actually listen.

They never promised a 300 ragtop. As for the 99 Charger, it WASN'T a DCX concept. When Chrysler got taken over, many head Chrysler guys left, and the 99 pretty much left along with them.

Kinda like why vote, what difference will my vote make? 
Never too late to say you did.. I think the sooner the better..
Voices of approval and suggestion,, We are their market for this Challenger.
How can it hurt?
