Provided of course that you keep the car 'that' long. Now all the references to 'muscle cars' I believe to be more along the lines of powerful V8's with RWD and strong body lines. Heck, back in the 60's muscle car era you could go buy a Plymouth Fury with a 383....we didn't call it a muscle car but it sure the heck was faster than most cars on the road and it was a tank! Rambling here.....Anyway, the Challenger will be a true retro and depending on package will be a muscle car by any interpretation.
I also love the 4 doors, not really an issue when I was looking for cars but after having them, I'm not sure I would want two, I know my friends wouldn't ...
I think the Charger has some 'retro' styling to it, obviously not as much as the mustang or the challenger will be, but there are hints. I've had people say it reminds them of anything from a 69ish camero to a 70 chevelle. Granted not in the same way the mustang looks like the stangs of old, but the front headlights and the kangaroo hips definitely give it a little bit of a retro look.
