The imperial's doors are neat. The car itself resembles a tank.

well they say that the imperial is to be above the 300 in price but from the way they talk about as being affordable luxury I wouldn't expect pricing to start higher than $35-40k

^^^ from what i see the imperial is nothing but a more suited up 300c, just like the 300c is to charger.

challenger is also derived from the charger.

damn everything is all the same. magnum-charger-300c-challenger-imperial.

it's actually a smart marketing move, produce 5 cars out of 1 chassis to save money. LOL.

#2 - dont try to mimic rolls royce if you are a sh!tty american car manufacturer. it makes you looks stupid.

"Our future looks bleak, lets look to the past..."

or the exact opposite

"Ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan
hindi makakarating sa paruruonan."
(You have to know where you're coming from to know where you're going)


Either way, they should stop the whole retro thing. Out of the two, I like the Challenger more. I think the Imperial is out of proportion some how. It might need to be longer, or lower... or I don't know, but it isn't straight up ugly.





Damn, they even copied the logo! That reminds me of the cheating kid that copied the name too!

it is very different from other cars today, the jap and euro styles are a bit over used.

But I think only a very little group of people will like this 2 concept style, and this group of people will be 80 years old soon.

yeh, that challenger is growing on me. very retro but chill looking. i would so take that over the mustang. mustangs only looked good on pics but in actual they don't look as appealing. hopefully this one is different.

the imperial is actually a remake of a car that goes back to the 30's if not older


1931 Chrysler CG Imperial Sedan


1961 Imperial


1993 Imperial


Note that chrysler has used a similiar badge to the bently one since the 30's

Chrysler is usually good at keeping their concepts alive in the real versions. Not feeling the Imperial at all, but the Challenger is decent. As mentioned, it does look better than the Mustang, the Mustang really cheaped out in the interior, hopefully they dont do this to the Challenger.

I can definitely see that challenger painted in orange with a confederate flag on top and a big '01' on the side of it



Been a long time since Ive seen a domestic car that I like

ok one question. if dodge knew that they would be putting out this coupe, then why the fvck did they just hold up on the name and named this the "Dodge Charger" as it should have been. Then, the 4 dr dodge charger out now should have been the dodge challenger. IDIOTS.... duh

because you would have the same number of people complaining about a 4-door challenger as you do with the current charger
