I somewhat agree. Its ok to bring back old names, but give them a new design. That proto looks like theyre just gonna start producing 1970 Challengers in 2008. I mean the car looks great and all, but IMO a design like this just says to me that Dodge ran out of ideas.

But then again the last time Dodge modernized a classic we got a 4-door Charger.

I love the fact the are bringing back old car design with a modern twist. If they didnt we would have a bunch of Jetsons looking cars by now and how many hot rods did you see on the Jetsons? :lol:

:( What's wrong with the wagon, it's a big time sleeper.

oh crap, it makes me want to get rid of my car....


That car is just beautiful, everything about it is just perfect!!!!!!!!

I'm an ASST. MGR at a chrysler dodge dealer so I'll keep you guys posted when this thing looks like it's gonna hit showroom floors. Kind of off subject, but keep an eye out on the new Caliber comming out, a possible sleeper as well.

after that barret-jackson auction. these cars are going to sell for a pretty penny. and it is soooo nice!

I think it's beautiful. I like the shape of the dash and the air vents and the seats and upholstry a lot. The only thing I'd change is that StarTrek-ish typeface.

Actually thats just unpainted carbon fiber...must look that much more sexier IRL!

I'm going to have to +1 the 4th gauge and how awesome it is. Porsche has a more primitive version (Chrono gauge or the like), so maybe like them or Mitsu (Evo's optional boost gauge...Scoob does that too IIRC) they can have it as some expencive pricey option.

Oh, and I looked up the oil problem...http://www.corolland.com/sludge.html the average owner of a new Toyota more often than not isnt too car savy...plus its possible that the oil just was the wrong viscocity. Notice that only a "small number" of people reported this incident (not like the thousands you seem to make it sound like) and Toyota actually has the balls and the money to recognise a problem they may or may not have caused and do something about it. How much do you want to bet a domestic company would find a way around any recalls (forget campaigns) because they have so little money to work with nowadays.

With the rate of failure on all of Dodge's transmissions, I highly doubt its just the "occasional goober who forgets to put in a bolt"
