What do you think of the new Challenger concept?

Fuelburns2 · Jan 17, 2006

I went to the Detroit NAIAS and fell in love with the new Challenger. There are rumors that if it is produced it will be priced to compete with the Mustang. I could afford a used one in a few years! I was just wondering if the style was well received amongst the rest of you.

I really, really like that car.

I'm not a Chrysler fan by any stretch of the imagination, but that's the first GREAT looking car Detroit's dreamed up in a long time. What fries me is the car design geeks come up with some neato concept car that gets everyone jazzed, then by the time the production version is out, it looks like another aero-watermelon. Hope they don't do that here, Mopar could OWN the car market with this.

It's a sweet ride but it's one that I list in the "Dream League" of cars I wish to own. It might be priced to compete with the Mustang but that doesn't really help because those aren't the cheapest cars around, especially if you want one with balls. Balls don't come with the base model price :wink: All that horse power they say it has will cost you extra and if you save enough money to buy it anyway the insurance costs will put an end to that. It's a real shame because that is one nice car!

Its true, the finer things in life aren't cheap. It's really a matter of priorities more than anything. My truck is paid for and I'm completely debt free. Will I buy a new car anytime soon? Absolutely not but I can admire and plan for the future.

Just hope that Chrysler has the drive end on the correct end of a car like that. Make it a REAR wheel drive ,please, with enough engine to please those of us who remember riding and driving the originals. Maybe bring back a high output 340? Offer them with a Tranny that requires the third pedal also!!

Oh well we can dream,huh?

Long as we're wishing, how about the 383 or 440 Police Intercept? Nothing like a big block!! 8)

TRUE! Oh, for the return of my youth! NAH,I might end up in trouble this time. Back then the police would ususally just escort ya home and talk to your parents. Now,ya would get to go to the pokey.

While we're dreaming,why not a Hemi(the original)? Talking about ZOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The New Hemi (6.3L?) has 425hp. Thats hard to argue with.

Granddad had a 71' (I believe Challenger). My aunt wrecked it. Women drivers. :roll:

Looks sweet. I would get a ticket in a car like that and that's why I drive a Truck.

It's OK, but I'm not much of a MOPAR fan either. I kinda' like the Camaro concept car unveiled at that same Detroit show.
