RE: Interior looks...
This new Challenger is THE bargain of the auto marketplace right now. NOBODY is making anything this nice or this exciting. In order to bring out this amazing car, the bean counters had to cut costs somewhere - and the interior is a logical place. IMO, the interior is excellent. So what if if looks like the 300 or Charger - they have one of the nicest interiors in the business. Once you sit inside - you'll appreciate the comfort, space and ergonimocs.
Thankfully, the designers did not screw up the exterior or the performance goodies - for that is the main focus of this car. I am extremely happy that this car even exists in this weak car market and high gas prices. This is Chrysler's last rear-drive V-8 powered muscle car for sure. The clock is ticking for the death of these gas guzzlers. [sm=boohoo.gif]
The base Ford Mustang is exactly what it always was - an inexpensive "sporty" car built for the masses and car rental companies. The fact that a V-6 powered Challenger SE will compete in the same price range as a Mustang is a miracle. When you consider the independant suspension, higher power of the Mopar V-6, and the GREAT interior - the Mopar is superior. [sm=groupwave.gif]
(Similarly, the interior of the new Corvette (since 2005) is its weakest point, because GM put their money into performance and made it a world class sports car that will compete with any car from Europe or Japan.)
