Re: Autoextremist.com has nothing nice to say
This is a tough call for me! When I first saw the spy photos of the new Challenger my jaw dropped to the floor! This is a dream come true for anyone who would like a Chip Foose designed 1970 Challenger. Then I saw the Camaro concept car and was very impressed with how they took the essence of a '69 Camaro, but pushed it into the 21st Century.
However, I think the Chevy designers took the Camaro too far. It's got a great wow factor, but too much is going on visually. If they simplified it in certain areas like the grill and hood (possibly the rear end), it would be out of sight. The Dodge designers didn't go far enough. The squat roofline is cool, however the side body panels only have a single crease line, which gives the body an overly chunky look. The rear quarter panels could use some spice and the rear deck should be shortened to give the front end the allusion of being longer without increasing the overhang.
IMO both design groups need to do some work, before these cars are ready for production.
