But the Challenger isn't supposed to be a trip car. It's not supposed to be a family car. A Charger is not supposed to be a 4 door. A Challenger is supposed to be light, fast, impractical, and overpowered.

Let me summarize all the responses:

In 1970: somebody who primarily wanted a good-looking car bought a Mustang or Camaro. Somebody who wanted the fastest thing on the road bought a Challenger.

In 2009: somebody who wants the best looking car buys the Challenger. Somebody who wants the fastest, best handling thing on the road buys a GM.

A person who used to be a Challenger customer is a GM customer now. I hate to say it...because I was Mopar or Nocar. But not at 4100 lbs.

Yes, it was cheaper for them to make it on the Charger platform. Yes, it was quicker for them to use the old, cheap parts from other cars.

I would have waited two more years. Would have paid more. And does anybody here really believe the Challenger is not heavier than it should be? It anybody really arguing 4100 is the proper weight for a sport car?? The new Cadillac is 4300 lbs....with 550 hp.

Sad.

Disappointed.

And, yes...pissed.
