RE: Mustang Fans Getting Scared
I currently own the '05 LS2 GTO and it is an awesome car to drive and ride in. I am a MOPAR guy though. I wanted to buy the new Charger but was extremely disappointed that it was more of a family sedan than a muscle car. The GTO's styling was a turn off, but with it's hood scoops, dual exhaust, and great interior it's actually a pretty sharp car. Plus you don't see them very often (which may be a bad thing for Pontiac) but I like having a unique ride. When considering that the old GTO's where a subtle change from the LeMans, it isn't completely inappropriate that the current one is a subtle change from the Grand Prix, but it could look a little sexier as the Firebird did.
That being said, this Challenger appears to be exactly what I've been waiting for since I was a child. A new MOPAR muscle car!!!! If they make it exactly like the concept (which I realize they probably won't), I would not hesitate to buy one right away.
I plan to trade in my GTO the second the Challenger actually becomes a reality (which I will believe when I see it, as the previous Charger concept went away just prior to it's release).
