[chargerboy69]

Just in case some people have not seen this. Here is the new Challenger video. It is worth looking at. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=115459#43



I will take two of them please.

[ramit]

Great video! Thanks for the link.

[ChargerRob]

Nice Video. Thanks

[plum500]

Echoes by an order of magnitude, everything they missed/messed with the Charger, for this Mopar fan.

Nice video thanks for posting it!

SCHWINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG................................

[Dale The Bold]

Rims need to be smaller, and chrome needs to make a comeback.  Other than that, not bad.

[Pistolpete]

I agree, definitely hit the nail on the head with this one, thanks for posting

Nice. I'll give some serious consideration to that car if it ever makes it into production with a realistic sticker price. Aside from the latest Mustang, this is the only other car I get excited over. At least until I see the price that is. It won't surprise me to see the 6.1 version with a sticker well over $40K, & then have the greedy dealership scum tack on a "market value surcharge" of another $15K to $20 K.

The thought I have right now, is that I would unload my 1995 F-150, make the 2004 Ram the daily driver, sell off something else like the Scamp to make room for a new Challenger at home. Maybe I'll even sell something else too.

just MAKE the damn car already!!!! i will take one, everyone i know will take one.. HURRY THE HELL UP!!! i swear there are 100 06 chargers running around baton rouge now, it's sickening.. the sooner this car comes out the better

Did you hear the guy at the Donut Derelicts show talking about car companies slapping classic names on cars that bear little or no resemblance to their classic namesake? Sounds familar doesn't it? It's funny how quick DCX was to make that mistake with the Magnum sedan and yet so hesitant to do it right with the new Challenger. It speaks volumes about the company's current mindset.

It's obviously a nice car that pays tribute to it's namesake; and I've been waiting to see a comparison picture like this one:

I still think the success will hinge on whether they'll offer a cheaper V6 base model or not. 

It would still be a big sales hit with only a V8, but they could sell a hell of a lot more of them in the '05 Mustang's $20-something price range than the $35K they're currently talking about.  (And more total Chally sales would help lower the price of V8 models too.)

I did`nt realize how huge the car is

just MAKE the damn car already!!!!

                      good video  i would take one in white defiantly , i know it has been said hundreds of times already , if they can make new challenger look very smiler to an old challenger, then why make a new charger look like a ~#``^*()"?<:{_^&*!"¬:}*^  ,  compared to the awesome looking  first, second & third generation charger .  no offence meant to new charger owners

[Paul G]

It does look like a giant next to an original Chally. I could see one of those in my garage with no second thoughts about it.

[hemihead]

Nice car considering what other choices there are on the market.I see DCX making this a $40G + , 10,000 unit ,rich man's toy though.They will all be spoken for before the first one is made.
And I agree, beside the original the new one looks like a truck.

Or pug nosed.  Maybe it's just the angle of the picture.  At least I hope so.  One things certain, the 70 ragtop looks FAR better.

[bull]

It looks to be about the same length but narrower and taller. Kind of like how the classic Challenger would look if it were squeezed on both sides.

[joedotts]

and the reason they didnt do this to the new charger is...............?

[BigBlockSam]

very cool

Look at the profile on the 06 Charger...talk about pug nosed! I hope it isn't that bad.


How about a new Challenger T/A ...and a vinyl top please.

[dkn1997]

is it just me, or does anyone else think the wheels are very cool looking, but on the big side?.  maybe it's the photos, but they look like 22's or maybe even a bit bigger.  I would like it better if it had 18's/19's and was lower.  still the best looking car  chrysler has put out since.....well...the last challenger/ebodies in 74!!!

[Mike DC]

 
Those wheels will probably not make production. 
Lots of concept cars roll around on much bigger wheels/tires than the actual production version.  It's all about the looks.

They might end up installing 17" rims or something as standard, but I doubt they'd use anything like the ones on the concept car.  (Expensive precision-made rims, huge unsprung weight, expensive tires, fender/chassis clearance issues, higher stresses on the suspension parts, etc.)

If they use the huge rims anywhere it will probably be as an expensive extra option and/or be reserved for the hi-po versions. 

 

[dkn1997]

yeah,after I posted that, I got the video to work for me and saw the part where they said chrysler begged them to be careful driving it because the tires rubbed.

that car is still the cat's ass, though!!!
