it doesnt say, but magazines and other publications have said that DCX is the source. Somewhere I also read the DCX guys talking about the sketch. Lets not be so skeptical here, im pretty sure people had these same discussions about the Hemi's return 5 years ago.

I wish the power bulge hood had a little more bulge.
I wish the grille was more like a 70, but I think they made it look more like a 71 becuase it has more resemblance to their truck grille motif.
An old school flip top gas cap would be cool ..... but somehow highly unlikly.
I hope they have some retro like striping options... particularly the bumble bee type stripe.
It needs some kind of wing option.
And please let the ecu be tuner/mod friendly.
Also be competitive on price!




I'm sure that much of this could be taken care of by MP or the aftermarket. The PT Cruiser as well as Mustang have a ton of mods available for them.

the date on the sketch is April-05 as well...so it's been around long enough for them to have made that concept real and we finally see it, didn't news of a new challenger hit around june or july? I know they'll make a Challenger, just when, I think 2009 is to far off..I think it should be within the next year. But what do I know?

Here it is again for the lazy people.





Where can we see that this was an official DC released sketch, not another cooked up drawing by some 20 yr old kid like all the other sketches we've seen (new Camaro, 'cuda, Charger before it was released)..




Are you serious? How many times do we have to post the link to news articles that say "DC officially released an official artists rendering by an official DC design studio of the official Dodge Challenger concept of which a street car is officially due out in 2008. Officially.

AND I QUOTE:

""On Monday Dodge released this sketch of the new Challenger that, in addition to the amazing spy shots caught by AutoWeek, give us a really good idea of how the newest muscle car on the block will present itself once it’s unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show. The automotive press has been fielding mixed reactions about the car’s design, though we’re pretty sure it’s sweet. The look is very retro, almost to the point where it’s not so much a reinterpretation of a past design but an old design itself. Some have also speculated about whether it will have two or four doors. The spy shots and the sketch indicate the concept will have a proper pair of doors, and we can’t imagine the company would field another four-door muscle car alongside the Charger. One thing’s for “almost” certain, this car is coming. It’s everything but official and we’re predicting the reaction to the Challenger concept in Detroit will be universally positive, if for no other reason than folks want to see the Big 3 go at it again in this arena.""

I like it, and I will be in the market for a new car in 2007, so instead of the Mustang that we were planning on, we make be stopping by the Dodge dealer for a change...

I dunno because the car shown is a Ford Capri and a MK1 RS2600 and maybe a 3.1 below at that, very cool car in the day IMO

I think you're the only one that sees the resemblance. Two headlights per side and a crease down the side isn't enough for me.

I dont see it at all....We stuffed a 351 Cleveland 4V in one of those things. The drawing of the Challenger showed up today in my local newspaper along with the quote from Trevor Creed. I asked a friend of mine at the paper where they got it from and he said it came from DCX...so if it is a hoax it is a really good one.

Wow. This post has really taken off. Geko, if you have doubts about the sketch, look at the little rings with bolts in em around the high beams and then look at the spy photos. Regarding the spy photos, we know the source, and she would definitely come out against them if they were altered or faked, just to save her good reputation.

That said, One extremely cool thing on this car is that the headlights are the old round style instead of the molded contour type. This is extremely cool, and even if DC does molded ones, I hope they keep them circular and don't flush mount them.

Two other things. 1. I really hope that DCX learned their lesson from the PT Cruiser thing. I think that they have. They MUST have lost a ton of sales on that car when they couldn't keep up with demand and prices shot up. 2. For those concerned about the prototype making it into production, remember the prowler. radical design, yet the only real hurt put on the car at production was the goofy DOT front bumper. I would expect the aftermarket to fix any front molded bumper booboos that DOT inflicts upon this vehicle. With all that has been said here, I am now looking forward to the debute of this car.


I’m listening.

Wow! What a cool car, or..."Hello Mr. Creed, i see you've come to your senses."

"Retro" is in, be it a concept car. It seems everyone is standing in line to buy one, me too. This is a car that i WOULD sell my six-pack Charger for. If it's true, this proves Daimler really did read our hate mail about that 4 door thing, i mean the Intrepid replacement.

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"


MOPARTS ALERT!: Chris Pugh aka gabodyman of Dalton, Georgia, cashed my $140 money order on 4-16-02 never sent parts. On 3-19-07 he agreed to return my money; "april 9, it will be in the mail by that date""will do as promised. chris" Still no parts and no money!
