I'm gonna throw up the "BS Flag" here..
that looks like an old challenger with a photoshopped grille and rear end. I don't think those photos are real 
Again.. I think it's a Photochop.. a good one, but still a chop

There's a discussion on another forum & I'll say the same thing I said over there, it's a fake. Too many parts of the image are in & out of focus, the chrome trim, roof line, body line & side mirror are exact copies of an old E-Body. There's trim on side windows, but no chrome on the front & rear windows. Why would that be done? Some parts of the photo are washed out & grainy, while others are too clear or enhanced.
I like the look, but it's just like an honest politician, it isn't real.

I think this is like the grainy vids of JFK getting his head blown off. Everyone sees something different to add to the conspiracy.
Do you all remember E8502 who briefly posted on this board with drawings of the '06 Charger before anyone had seen it? The same guy is saying that this WILL be the '08 Challenger which will go on sale in the spring/summer of '07.
Take it for what its worth.

I saw this sketch on the Cuda-Challenger site, & like this one even better. It would have been more believable too.

But that one wasn't released from dodge.
If they build this car giving in to the wishes of us car lovers, and it doesn't sell, i imagine it will be the last performance coupe they put out for at least a couple decades

 It almost seems that some folks don't want it to be true... I do some photochops and have some idea what to look for, and find few if any indications... I believe that the pictures are real!
According to the admin over at Allpar, better images are coming tomorrow ...
Here is what he said and a link to the Allpar Challenger page:

All I can say is:
http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/challenger.html
"more tomorrow" and better than the "other photos" you've seen
Now this is not to say that production is certain or that the styling won't change... just that the photos show one of the concept cars that DCX will display at the Detroit Auto Show...

Ok Sorry to pick this apart, but if you also look at the front & rear tire they are from the exact same image used during the chopping process...I think this case is closed
Good eye, you are right, there's the final nail in that "concepts" coffin
I disagree. The rear wheel is rotated a few degrees counterclockwise vs. the fronts.... (not saying it couldn't be done, I just think it's a coincedence...)

All I can say right now is, I planned on a new Charger for my first new car, in a couple years. I think I'll wait, and save up for this car.

After reading all the "Gunman-on-the-grassy-knoll" type conspiracy post in this thread, I can say that this thread is proof POSITIVE, that some form of brain damage must occur from long term exposure to high octane gasoline fuel or something!  Seriously...ask yourself this: Why would autoweek print a completely made up photo? Don't you think they know their source for the photo? Don't you think that their sources WOULDN'T give them a known fake? Especially when there is generally decent money involved here and in the future? Not saying that there isn't ANY photoshoping in the picture...it's NOT uncommon for magazines to touch up the photo's using photo shop...sometiems to remove shadows, or to remove any manufactuer camouflage, etc....just to clear up what the car *actually* looks like, so they don't go to print with just a blob in the pic. ALWAYS ASK YOURSELF: WHAT THE HELL IS THERE TO GAIN AND HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INVOLVED TO PULL OFF THESE SILLY THEORIES! That right there kills 99% of these conspiracies.

direct quote from creed........if its a hoax then ill be damned The 2006 Dodge Challenger concept resurrects another authentic American muscle car for the Dodge brand and continues to build on the success and heritage of the HEMI® engine. "This concept possesses the heritage and classic forms of the original Dodge Challenger," said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President—Design. "However, the ability to use the Dodge Magnum, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 series architecture as the concept's foundation allowed us to bring a new level of quality and fit-and-finish to a muscle car icon." http://www.autospies.com/article/index.asp?articleId=5963&categoryId=21
