New Dodge Challenger!~ Mopar at its finest
Everyone was a little annoyed by the fact that the Charger was resurected on a four door vehicle like some GM vehicles. People have been hooting and hollering for a 2-door Mopar with a Hemi, not some lame wagon, 4-door, or even SUV! It might come soon.Autoweek's story about the next Challenger! with spy pics
I think they should have made the Magnum/Charger styling more aggressive for a two door instead of just ripping a page straight out from the 70's. Bellbottoms and Afro's here we come again!

Quick glimpse of the bad boy! I like the paint, but not the fact that it looks exactly like a 30 year old car.

Rep Power: 322 I actually think the Superbird will still sell because Nascar is STILL doing well... couple that with the fact that everyone knows big wings are good for cars and that Roadrunner is still recognizeable to many people...

Myself I have nothing but hate for the SRT4 but the Magnum, Charger, and 300 I'm a huge fan of. A lot of that has to do with my wifey working for Daimler Chrysler, lol. But they're not bad, I've been in the 300 and it feels almost luxurious. My garage will likely soon have a TSX and either a 300 or a Charger....although when I start having kids, I'll have to see if they have a hemi-powered Caravan, lol.
The 300 will be just like the Intrepid or Concorde...Good for a few years and then traded in only to be snapped up by some trailer trash/alcoholic who wants to pretend they have money.
To me the key to a great car is style, efficiency and longevity....Chrysler might have a few ups on style and power...but efficiency and longevity are not words in their collective vocabulary.

Rep Power: 0 It's distinctly american, and brings back what was good about american design...
But it's waaay too retro. The headlights, fenders, everything... if you told it was a lost concept car from the 1980s I wouldn't doubt it.
