Spoken like a man or woman who owns no muscle car what so ever.
Spoken like a man or woman who doesn't know what "gravitas" means. A definition: "Gravitas (from Latin) is a quality of substance or depth of personality."
In other words, the coolness factor. Strictly on looks alone, the 70 was WAY cooler than the modern Challenger. The modern car is a good-looking car for its era, but compared to the original model, it's a bloated hulk.

It's a shame they couldn't have remade the car to actually look like the original model.
