you forgot the alert sign...

no one cares it's not a hardtop?..

america can't build a hardtop anyumore huh, just the germans, the british, italians and japanese?.. is that right?..

Ghoste

I think everyone cares but after the controversy of the latest car they called Charger, no one wants to cry too loudly for fear of seeming ungrateful.  We did beg for a two door after all.

I care that it is not a hard top, but Ghoste is right, beggars can not be choosers. Predator versus Alien sucked, but it's the BEST Predator versus Alien movie ever. Cool stuff that fits your niche doesn't roll around too often so when it does I snatch it up and I learn to love it. I might bitch at first, but I'll do everything I can to get behind something that I have wanted a long time even if it isn't exactly what I want.

That doesnt look like the pics of the concept cars that have been floating around. What did they do to it!!! I knew they would screw it up somehow.  :slap:

Ghoste

I'm still willing to give them a wait and see on the final production version.

I don't understand the B-pillar fixation. Somebody help me here.  :shruggy:

  Are you refering to the rear side window?  if so then I believe that is a "C" pillar and not a "B" pillar.   They more than likely are covering up what doesn't have to show to keep the public eye confused as to what the car really is!  No different than a movie star wearing a hat and sunglasses to try to hide there identity.

Looks like they have changed the backend (regardless of the possible spoiler).

Could see possible changes in those pics from the factory -- both in the way the trunk was cut out, changes to the lines in the lower part of the quarter, and, it looked like the ends of the quarters were going to accept end cap style components, lights or whatever. Basically all moving it towards the style/standard that is everything else out there. Not sure how much has to be changed from the concept do to regulations, or, I could be way off base completely and nothing has changed. Perhaps the structure has changed but they will maintain the look of the concept -- but I have my doubts.

I will be extremely surprised to see that seemless backend of the concept.

Those tailpipes are a good distance below where the concept ones were though - like 4 or 5" so I expect there has been some modern droop added to that backend.

plum500

Meh... maybe it's just the molded stuff is going to the top of the quarters and they will maintain the concept look. Looks like the trunk cutout I thought I saw before might be behind any tail light treatment... dunno.

Definitely not going to be tucked up as much underneath though -- those pipes are definitely lower.


Ghoste

Well, naturally I can't find the source now, but they said a long time ago the back would be different.  The concept car has a neon taillight and it was made clear that it was not a practical taillight for production purposes.  Now all they said really was that the method of light generation would change but I never took that to mean anything except conventional bulb and conventional (read- common production parts) styling.

plum500

Yeah -- I was hoping they would keep the shape, and ditch that single neon setup - that's the only thing I didn't really like on the concept. Solid piece even -- with some details and obvious separate lights required.

Brock Samson

just for comparo purposes..

the concept was a actual hardtop too BTW..  :-\

It looks even better in silver.  :drool5: :drool5:
My wife decided to hold off on a new Nitro for herself so maybe I can still swing her  (swing-her, haha, a Mopar pun and I wasn't even trying  ::)) into one of these.  :scratchchin:

plum500

Damn. Now I am liking those shots. That first one is awesome. I'm really glad they kept a decent sized front end on it. Love the door/side lines, windshield angle, fenders -- there's a nice bit ahead of the front wheels and a decent hood.

Errrr wait... except there's one thing...the way that camo is lying, it doesn't look like the grill design goes straight across.

I REALLY hope they didn't add a protruding crosshair grill/nose. I will just shake my head and sigh.


dodgecharger-fan

Front fascia and rear valance can be changed out with *ahem* body kits.

Maybe they made a back office deal with the aftermarket to put out an ugly nose and rear so that we can all go spend our money moddin the snot out of these cars.

Just a thought.
