I agree I was thinking the same thing....I guess only time will tell.

It looks GREAT - but it's almost a TOO perfect copy of an old Charger R/T. The interior is  BTW looks like it will be a big, heavy car. Hope it is closer to the mustang in weight than the GTO.

Mine too, gotta love it. Also, commenting on the mustang weight...have you guys seen the weight of the new cobra? It has gotten pretty hefty also.

The Challenger is hot as hell. Not that I'm already a fan of the 300,Magnum and Charger.
I also work at the factory that builds the seats for them,and the Challenger/Imperial will most likely be built at the Brampton,Ontario plant where the 300/Mag/Charger are built,so I'll most likely be building the seats for them too. Just by looking at the pics of the interior,the rear seats are almost identical to those used in the current LX cars,and the front seats look like the SRT8 seats with a little modification.

It's as unabashedly retro as the Mustang. Should sell like gangbusters, although it's not my cup-o-tea.
Although the present Mustang is the first one I've ever actually considered, um, considering. It's not logical. It doesn't have to be.

Car and Driver reported it between 4000 and 4100...  But the estimated 0-60 was 4.5!

Well I for one can't wait to see it in person. I would gladly put that in the garage next to the General.
