It is what it is. As I said in my other posts after seeing it, it's nice for what it is, but it's not retro. It's muscle, it's a nice car, but it would take more money then I have to own one because it's not useable. That is one thing I have found more then anything with this Challenger, I'm not well off enough to own another car and keep this one under wraps, and nor would I want to. If anything I would own this one and keep another one under wraps. This car is good for use all around and I think that was kind of the point for Chrysler. The trunk is just huge, it rides very nice, there is room in the back for kids, most importantly, it's a monster in the snow. The Mustang and the Camaro are not practicle for any of these uses. The Mustang was terrible in the snow, or not to great, though I guess it could have been worse, I can't imagine how that Camaro would be with the weight and power.
For those who can afford to keep their car out of the snow, I congratulate you and enjoy your vehicle. For the rest of us who aren't so lucky, thank you Chrysler for building such a great all around car that I can enjoy 365 days out of the year. Now let's talk about that skip shift that almost got me run over the other day.
