Official Dodge Challenger Sketch

[ekool]

On Monday Dodge released this sketch of the new Challenger that, in addition to the amazing spy shots caught by AutoWeek, give us a really good idea of how the newest muscle car on the block will present itself once it’s unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show. The automotive press has been fielding mixed reactions about the car’s design, though we’re pretty sure it’s sweet. The look is very retro, almost to the point where it’s not so much a reinterpretation of a past design but an old design itself. Some have also speculated about whether it will have two or four doors. The spy shots and the sketch indicate the concept will have a proper pair of doors, and we can’t imagine the company would field another four-door muscle car alongside the Charger. One thing’s for “almost” certain, this car is coming. It’s everything but official and we’re predicting the reaction to the Challenger concept in Detroit will be universally positive, if for no other reason than folks want to see the Big 3 go at it again in this arena.

All I hope is that this car doesn't come with transmission issues alot of people with chargers (like ME) are going through.

I would hope they have the kinks worked out. For sure they will if it isn't built until '08 for '09 year model. Gives them plenty of time to kill all gremlins.
If they offer an auto, maybe it will be a 6-speed....

dont know if they should. granted the muscle car look is good but, nothing like buying a classic.

To me,if they keep the looks like this sketch,and update it with all the performance goodies of modern technology.. this will be the best not only out of all the challengers(and I own a 70 challenger r/t),but it would also put it at the top of the list for looks out of all the current DCX styled cars IMO!

Since it's only competition for 'close to original' looks with the modern goodies is the Mustang, it should be the 'Best' looking period IMO. And I do think the Mustang retro is a good looking car. They could only move forward at a faster pace with this car since the majority of the population 'knew' the original and all the power and looks it had.

I think DCX, just hit a grand slam by making this car.....the timing is perfect to compete directly with the mustang. American HP wars are back.....YESSssss!
