Front end is too short, and back end is too long. Not to mention, those tires look like they belong on a neon or something. Not a big fan.

Ugh...they had SUCH potential. THEY PUT IN A B-PILLAR!!! Why couldnt they just keep it a true hardtop???
They messed with the damn roofline...so the profile looks weird now. Looks like a current chrysler car with a "body kit" to make it look like a challenger. Instead of a new car. And those quarters... ugh...

Yeah my post probably came across alitttle harsh. They did "ok". I was more upset about the b-pillar than anything else. And Im just salty that they couldnt make it just like the concept. I dont take well to "change". haha...
Still a decent looking car, just doesnt have the appeal to me that it did when i saw it at the shows and all. I hate how when I look at it now I see more 300M and Charger than i do a totally new car.

Wow now that I see the side by side comp that B pillar really does stick out and the fact they tried to hide it with 'black out techniques' makes it worse. makes me wonder how camaro will fair on the cutting room floor.

Lack of V6 could hurt anyone getting a cheap Challenger...thank God for V6 Stangs, Maros, and Birds...we could not afford them otherwise. Think how much cheaper the Goat could have been with a V6 variant. We might be driving a lot more of those now...instead of our ancient FBodies.
