Default RE: What will Challenger concept lose in production?

Hopefully, it loses those god-awful pimpmobile wheels. Dodge outta go back to the 1970-style Rallye wheels. And just in case it comes with the ugly, block-letter nameplate, I have my 1970 scrypt-style Challenger insignia to mount on the front fenders, where God intended them to be -- above the R/T insignia and the original Chrysler logo. (It's really amazing how fast you can strip a car when a tow truck is coming to haul it off to the junkyard after a devastating encounter with an Avenger.)

Oh...just in case anybody else noticed, I dutifully e-mailed DCX to not their misuse of a word on their web page announcing the 2008 Challenger. It said the car is based on "the infamous 1970 Dodge Challenger." Infamous? No. Famous, yes. Legendary, yes. As I told them, John Wayne is famous but John Wayne Gacey is infamous. And, yes, I put in yet another plug for a V-6 version.
