Everything I have read said the Impala was 2 door and the Caprice was the 4 door. They may have been called the Impala Caprice, but I didn't think the Caprice was an available option on the 2 door models. Could be wrong, been awhile since I've looked at my car books.

It honestly looks like the new Challenger and the Dodge Stealth had a kid.

What year were you born, 1990? From the beginning there has always been a Chevrolet Impala 4 door! In the 1960's and 70's there were 2 door, 4 door, and convertible Impalas, I even owned a couple of Chevy Impala 4 doors. The full-sized Chevy platform went like this: Biscayne, Bel-Air, Impala, Caprice, and there were both 2 door and 4 door versions of all of them.

There are more pictures floating around somewhere. The taillights are going to be quad lights, and It'll have the deeper side flares.This site has more info..

edit: found this too- the concept based one is the one under all the covering.

2011 Dodge Charger


1999 Dodge Charger concept


2011 Dodge Charger gauge cluster

The new Charger looks very similar to the 1999 concept and it's due to be released soon along with a redesigned Chrysler 300. The Challenger will recieve the new interior and similar upgrades as well.

And Fiat's current product plan for Dodge (subject to change).



Only 500 more Vipers will be produced. There are no firm plans to offer a new Viper or replacement. The Challenger will become Dodge's halo performance car.


There was a video game with the new dodge challenger in it, what was the name midnight club thats it. That game came out in like 04 i think so i just assummed they scrapped that design an went with what they got

Actually I could have gave 2 ***** about any car at all until around 1997. That's when I started looking at cars as more than point A to point B transportation, and everything I've read focuses on the 2 door Impala. Sorry my books call the 4 door Impala a Caprice, I'll contact the author.

I never have liked sedans. Coupes look too damned sexy. The only one I liked was the RX8. It's more concealed. Too bad about them being slow and all. Rotary engines are neato.

The charger concept is missing 2 things: A solid rear axle, and the door indents need the strip down the middle to get that coke bottle effect like the old ones had.

Do that, and put the 6.4 hemi in it and that car will sell.

What ever source you referenced for your info is even less accurate than you are.

Here are a few pictures of impalas to use for reference,
