Ok don't get me wrong, the Challenger is one hot piece. However... HOWEVER, if this car does get the green light, I will be very very nervous about the future of this car following this generations lifespan. Whereas the Charger and the 300 have just the right mix of retro and right now, the Challenger is all retro. Whereas this thing will strike a chord with nostalgic types and even a younger crowd (lets face it, E-Bodies are often regarded as the sexiest pony cars of the musclecar era), where do they go after this current design runs its course. As we've seen with the T-Bird and the New Beetle and to some extent the PT Cruiser, retro is always very risky. I just hope that DC doesn't stop the cash flow to its design department and continues to breed talents like the infamous Tom Gale because when it comes time to redesign this car, someone will have their work cut out for them. Despite my worries, my dreams have been confirmed, 6.1L Hemi, 6 speed stick, and a sexy body.

The grill seems to be a little smushed, and I'm not sure how I feel about the tail lights. Otherwise the car looks just about perfect!

Chevy is STUPID if theyre not up to their ears in development over a retro/camaro scheme like ford and dodge have now done. One can only wait....and hope.
