[TK73]

Hmmm....

Mustang was done RIGHT.

Challenger is OK, but it's "bloated".

Camaro is FARGIN UGLY.

[moparstuart]

the rear 1/2 of the thing looks good to me but the front end 

[hotrod98]

I think I'll hang on to my 70 SS/RS.

[71ChallengeHer]

I think it looks like a Mustang from the side. But the rest of it 

[nh_mopar_fan]

Last to market is always a great move...   

Remember when they were driving this thing past Challenger events?

Still waiting.

The first run may sell well because people will buy them up as an investment. After that? Nope.

I actually don't know what to think except it looks a bit different from the pics on the drawing board a year or so ago. When that LSA powerplant gets in there, man oh man, she's gonna be fast!
I will say this though, the rear amber light deal doesn't turn me on much.
No matter, it's still better looking than a lot of stuff on the market today and a good alternative if you want to stay in the big 3.

I'll still take a Challengeher any day!(sorry, Freudian slip)

I like everything but the back end. You know it's a new Camaro and yet it still pays tribute to it's history.
This is what I really don't like about the new Challenger. It is a bigger version of the old Chally with nothing really new in the design department. Ya, it's a great car and will haul ass, but nothing really sets it apart from the older models. Flame on.....

[BigBlackDodge]

Ewwwwwwww...................rear end is uggggleeeee!

[Old Moparz]

I think it looks okay, but I definitely don't like the rear clip, especially the tail lights. I still think it looks more like something from the Cadillac division.   

[66chargerkid]

The front and sides of this car are very agressive looking.
I also agree that the rear is ugly!
challenger looks much better

[MoParMetal]

it looks like its pissed off that its ugly.

[Fitz73Chrgr]

Ughh, man, that rear end does look like $h!t. 

[rusty lee]

Atleast it's not a four door. but 

[Brock Samson]

the original design,..
note the lower roof line 'n it's also a hardtop... 





 

[twenty mike mike]

This is what the grille looks like.

Sad to be real with you guys, but...

If you look at part for part... the Challenger is the only car that looks like a "Challenger". Thats the best 1 they did. 4 circle  headlights? CHeck. Round grill like 70 challenger? Check. Long rear tailight? Check. Curve around the back wheel? Check.

The camaro looks like a Camaro, so thats not bad either (the rear tailights are split trying to look like modern version of the old ones... and the front has the point in it, where the camaros always did... so thats pretty good.)

The mustang looks like a pile of sh1t. The front looks completely wrong and resembles absolutelly nothing.

The charger looks slightly better than the mustang but not much. 4 Doors (wtf?) that circle grill with lines through it... how the hell does that look like any chargers made?

Bottom line is, the Challenger/Camaro actually look like the old cars just modernized. The mustang/charger just look like some new invention. They obviously never looked at the old ones while making these 2. 

[Hemidog]

disappointing 

[myk]

Old vs new car threads have been done so much it makes me wanna' throw my PC out the window, but I can't resist a good train wreck, so...

Lol, and what in God's name is "wrong" with a "new invention?"  I suppose telephones would've been better if we had stuck with dials and cords instead of wireless and touch tone?

If people want a car that looks like a classic Challenger, Camaro, Mustang, Charger, Pinto, Gremlin, etc, then GO OUT AND BUY A CLASSIC VERSION OF THOSE CARS.  I love how people act like auto manufacturers have violated some sort of sacred trust with the car buying public.  Is there some sort of world governing law or commandment from the bible that declares that a new vehicle bearing the name of a classic (dead and gone) car has to mimick the original design exactly, and more importantly to the whining satisfaction of the public? 

The 60's and 70's came, they went, and now they're gone.  If people need the looks of that era so badly then they should point themselves to the nearest Barrett Jackson auction and quit crying over the direction that the "new muscle car generation" has taken....

[1969chargerrtse]

I think I'll hang on to my 70 SS/RS.

I'm a 69 fan, but 70 SS/RS sweeeet.  That style was voted as the best ever camaro year somewhere.
I think the new camaro will be a knock out as the years move on and they tweak the style. 

[chargerboy69]

man that thing sits higher than all get out!!! wow... like driving a 4x4 or sumpin

That is the first thing I noticed too.

I thought the prototype looked different than this car does. I do not like it at all.

[Shakey]

I like it!

[bzabodyn]

Only good thing about this car is that it's going to help would-be Challenger owners get a little better deal because there will be a newer player in the market...

"The rear end is ugly"? 
Umm  .  .  .  Have any of you guys looked at the FRONT end yet?


GM's typical "angry kitchen appliance" styling is in full force at both ends of the car.  It always comes off like a wimpy plastic car that's trying way too hard to look cool. 


I see a familiar set of problems.  The corporation won't let them do the BIG decisions on the body right (chrome stuff, overall dimensions & overhangs, etc).  So the Camaro development team overcompensates with what they're still allowed to do:  Goofy exaggerated styling on the outer skin & too much horsepower for anyone to affordably insure.

[TruckDriver]

Hmmm....

Mustang was done RIGHT.

Challenger is OK, but it's "bloated".

Camaro is FARGIN UGLY.

The back of the car is horrible ugly.

And from this shot, it looks kinda like a 2 door new Charger would look

Mike, i laughed so hard when i read your "angry kitchen appliance"comment  I hear what g man is saying he is basically saying (i think) that the challenger and camaro do look like the classic versions. but i gotta agree with myke too if you want a classic version buy the classic version dont compare them they cant be compared with each other imo. for the record, i dont mind the camaro but i think the challenger looks way better

[xp29f8b]

I like it. I think it's awsome that the 3 are bringing back the classic muscle cars. No matter what nit picking items there are they are all 3 a whole hell of a lot better than any other car I've seen produced in quite a while and a lot better than the disapointment of the Charger comeback. This is hopefully just a start and they pick up other models and maybe even do a nice B-body.

[TheGhost]

Would rather have seen a new Firebird.  The Firebird always looked better than the same year Camaro.
