haha thats cool but im not so thrilled about the line right before it. They better put a 6 speed, or forget about the whole car. Autostick doesnt count either
The absence of manual transmission make the Mustang look good again. I just would not buy a new car with an automatic trans.

More of that tough love from Mr. Creed; "if you want a 1970 Challenger go buy one" or "if you want a 1978 Challenger go buy one" and finally "they all think their Challengers are the real thing"
Didn't some smart guy once say..."Those who dont know their history are bound to repeat it." Lets hope this cool car doesn't fall into the bad catagory...
'70 Challenger Good...'78 Challenger Bad
'68 Charger Good...'75 Charger Bad
Any others? Sorry no 4 doors included.

Wow!I might have to eat my words.I just stated that i was done with CHRYSLER and the forced fed 4dr magnum aka charger.
IF IF IF IF Chrysler builds the car thats in the spy picture(with more of the 70 challenger flavor) i will pry my wallet open and buy my first new vehicle in over 10 years.
A new chally will look good next to the 70 challenger r/t.

A 4 door will never be an exceptional handling or performing vehichle.
It outperforms most of our TWO door cars. And, vastly outhandles all of them, as well.

If by platform you mean the underlying structure, which in the forementioned Challenger is the LX, then yes it is a good starting platform, and the same platform the Charger is based on.
The Challenger is NOT that different from the Charger at all. They might look different, but I imagine the weight difference is not as much as you might expect, and since it has the same brakes, same engine, same everything as the Charger, I don't see how its THAT much better of a starting point.
And btw, I am not sure if it is mentioned in this thread, but from what I hear, this concept is based on the LX platform, not the LY, so it could theoretically be closer than you think...

Exceptional for its ERA I didnt think I would have to explain that. It wont compete with a mustang in handling or a camaro of 2 or 3 years ago performance wise either. I am finnished slaming the Charger!
I have yet to begin praising the challenger if its what I want as an enthusiast or close to what I want. Anything can be tweaked for a specific purpose but you need a decent starting platform. I believe the Challenger to be that platform.
It also outperforms anything in its class and price range. The Mustang is not in it's class, and doesn't really do all that much better. In fact, the Mustang GT is SLOWER than the SRT-8, and about the same speed as the R/T, in the 1/4. Hmmmmm...... 
Edit for spelling.
