Agreed. I've seen it three times in person now. Looks better everytime.

I certainly understand your comment about the older 70's Challenger look. I agree partially on the better looks and gangsta look.
One thing I do like about the newer ones is the more muscular/massive look. When I saw it in person at the Dallas Auto show in 2005
I was really impressed and unless you have seen in it in person it is hard to describe. I hope I like the production version even more.....at least that is what
they are telling me.

I'm sure it will look great in person. It does appear to be one of the best looking cars made in frequent history, I just like the arrow dynamic looks of the Viper a little better is all.

RE: Ebay Challenger
You seriously think the new Challenger is less expensive to maintain than a 70's and have less trouble??? I completely disagree with the fact of the new one being built better.
ORIGINAL: RLSH700
I also see his point on this. I don't care for the rims and wish it looked a little more arrow dynamic and looked smaller like the original, but all in all, Jeremiah's statement about it being a better built car is accurate. The new Challenger has the advantage of better technology that makes cars have a lot less trouble and will be less expensive to maintain as well. I have not been blessed to see one in person yet. They just won't bring it to the K.C. autoshow, yet GM managed to bring the Camaro convertible there (I'm sorry but I think it looks worse in person).
I'm sure it will look great in person. It does appear to be one of the best looking cars made in frequent history, I just like the arrow dynamic looks of the Viper a little better is all.

RE: Ebay Challenger
You obviously have no experience with those cars and I used to own one.
The fact of the matter is those cars were designed and manufactured poorly.
One of the problems is American cars were built with the mentality that Americans would not keep them longer than 3 years
so why should they be built well. Many of the car parts this did not fit well and many cars were missing 20% of their bolts
and many were not even tightened down to spec.

RE: Ebay Challenger
Well, if you have restored many, then you must know what I am talking about. Gosh, most of those cars weren't even metal treated, hence the reason they
were bad about rusting and not to mention how bad they rattled and creaked.
