RE: Challenger / Mustang / Camaro Size Comparison
With 3 kids and a lovely wife, my requirement for a 5 passenger car is probably not common. But to be able to drop the kids off at the babysitters on the way to a date night with my wife, this Challenger really fits the bill. While I wish it was a bit lighter, I'm thrilled that it's big enough for the whole family.
Take a look around and try to find something nice that seats 5. There is nothing nearly as gorgeous as the Challenger. Although I really wanted a muscle car, I was considering the Caddy CTS-V and the Jaguar XF supercharged before it was published that the Challenger was a 5-passenger gift from heaven. Although the 550+ HP of the CTS is tempting, it just doesn't have the timeless lines nor the nostalgia of the Challenger. And although the Jag is beautiful, it's a little too conservative for my tastes. Both the Mustang and Camaro are too small for this family guy, and they don't really turn me on anyway.
So the compromise in weight is worth it to me, to have such a beautiful and roomy muscle car as the Challenger.
Can't wait to get my paws on mine!
