I thought that would have been a given when 2023 is the last year for the Charger and 300.

Last model year for a real Challenger was 1974.

Better performing, yes. Better looking? Not from any angle.

I didn't like the fish mouth grille on the 72-74 Challengers at all.

Is it possible our like or dislike for styling is dependent on whether a vehicle as a high- or low-compression engine?

The chunky bumper guards and bumper fillers, on the 1973 - 1974 B & E-Bodies, hurt the styling.

Easy to improve the styling on my 73 Challenger. I used the 70-72 shorter bumper brackets to pull the bumpers in.

I have a 70 R/T and a 2012 R/T Challenger. I like them both in different ways. The newer Challenger is the fist chrysler product that I have even liked in the last 48 years...

Agree. But most grilles when down-hill when they started molded plastic, as opposed to nice anodized ones.
Just a cheaper made part molded.
