First let me say I am a Chevy guy. I have always loved the Chevy muscle and was really looking forward to a new Camaro setting in the driveway. I loved the look of the Challenger and could not wait to see the Camaro. I searched every night for “leaked” photos of the Camaro. When the pictures started showing up I was floored. I thought it looked strange. I could not get over how odd it looked. There was no way I could buy a Camaro because I really did not like the way it looked. I feel Chevy really missed the mark on this one and deep down I know some big wigs at Chevy regret not going retro. Man I would have loved a retro 69 Chevelle.
Today I am a Mopar 2009 Challenger RT owner and loving every minute of it. This car is really a blast to drive and people love the look. It is not the fasted car out there but it does not need to out run the look. When I was reading all the reviews comparing the Camaro/Challenger/Mustang the main comments made about the Challenger is how people loved the look. It was not the fastest it was not the best at handling but based on the way the reviews read it was the best looking. I can make changes to my Challenger to make it faster. Lets see the Chevy guys make changes to make theirs look better.
To me this explains everything
