Haha, no thanks. I really like that the Challenger is a big car, but it's already bigger than the '70 was in every dimension.
I don't see any need to widen or lengthen the thing, but I do think it can be freshened by making it look longer. Lower every thing but the ride height; the roof, seating, belt line, hood, trunk lid, even the headlights and grill. Just a little and it'll look longer and sleeker. Maybe harden that crease in the side a bit, too.
Front bumper is a slomaro, those body dents full length are stupid and break a fundamental side line view of the retro which we all like. If the rear is as horrible as the front I don't want to see it. On the other hand if they build **** that ugly my car will be worth a fortune in the future.
Can you say "Camaro"...... doesn't matter the manufacturer cuz they all seem to take a great body style and keep rounding it and rounding it til it looks just like every other car on the road.
What ever it will look like, it will most likely be a 2019 model anyway.... I like what we have right now, I am tired of trading up to the latest incarnation of a car that not just meets my needs but exceeds them already.
It looks like an evolved version of the retro challenger. When the original Challenger came out, people thought it looked like a wider meaner version of the 67-69 Camaro. The current Challenger has those classic late 60's pony lines, which is why people mistake them for Camaro's today. This car still looks retro. The dual headlights show Challenger DNA. There is a bit too much of the modern dents and angles IMO, but overall it looks like a modern retro pony. Looks good, better than Stang or Camaro. If it comes in at 7/8 th or 8/9 th scale, I will consider it. These artist renditions are most often a huge guess.
The Camaro has all these hard lines and it doesn't flow as well - this is taking the worst examples of the Asian body kits (front facia, esp.) and slapping it on.
Thankfully this is a CGI rendering - floating ideas, but a long way to go yet.
Is that an actual FCA image? It can't be, it looks like an edited Camaro picture. Tell me if I'm wrong though. Honestly if it's not an official image I have zero opinion on it other than it's a nice looking rendering of a car.
Not a fan of that rendering, to many Camaro and Mustang styling features, just when every stops calling the Challenger a Charger, now it will be is that a new Camaro??
