Sorry Mopar, This Challenger lacks "It"
I've given it 24 hours and hundreds of looks and I'm still not buying. The fact that sitting inside this car is 100% the same as sitting in the Sorry excuse for a Charger (4 doors, who had his mom at work that day?) makes my stomach turn.
The famous E-body look of the Concept is lost with this box-ended decoy and if I could go back in time to talk to the production engineers I would remind them of the Golden Rule in design engineering.
If you need a "production line" car solution bad, You'll get a Bad Production line car solution.
You rushed, Cut Corners and I'm Sorry to say that even as a life long Mopar driver, I'll be putting my money back in the bank until you let go of the conservative corporate beancounter that blew this chance at building the best selling mopar in almost 40 years.
Fix the lines to get back to the "concept" curvy E-Body we all loved and miss so dearly, lose the 500 extra pounds of trunk space and rear roof line for power gains, add in the Pistol grip 6 speed tremec with the 6.1 Hemi option and Don't forget to throw in a true "Challenger" interior.
Do this and I'll Plunk down the 50k cash and drive it every day until gas is 10 bucks a gallon. If you dont, I'll weep when you go bankrupt (cancel, cancel) but at least I tried to help save the only Car Company I have ever been loyal too; hell I once owned a front wheel drive 2.2 liter "Charger". (you owe me for that) Now my Durango sits waiting for a worthy companion...
The way I see it, I've spent two precious years of my life waiting in Vain. so, come on... YOU OWE ME THIS ONE!!
PS. I'll take the Concept Challenger off your hands if you all really like this car better....Thought not.
