Color dislike
 

I know this may sound ignorant or something, but does anyone else find this black to be way to plain? Maybe it's just me, but it just looks so dull. This on the other hand looks terrific. But I love black on cars, and I was wondering if this was some kind of test color, or is that what the black challenger is going to look like?

RE: Color dislike
 

I like it. But what other black is there! Honestly! Unless we're talking a matte black I don't see what to complain about because your kind of stuck in a ditch with it. unless you go and repaint it.

It just looks different than most blacks..Like look at black on other cars and it looks a little more shiny, that just looks really deep and dark to me for some reason. Too dull and plain for me..it's like that in all the pictures I have seen too..Maybe it's just me..But I swear I see a noticeable difference between that and most blacks. I like the charger in black too..Just makes no sense to me..

It has to be a test black. Looks really dull.

RE: Color dislike
 

Thanks cncpt..Glad someone actually gets what im saying..lol

RE: Color dislike
 

Come on guys. This is a Matte flat black color that is what the "bad to the bone" guys paint their cars with. No, it is not your pretty shiny black that most people
get at the dealership.

RE: Color dislike
 

I'm not a "bad to the bone" guy..So I was wondering if there will be any other choices or if that has yet to be known..

RE: Color dislike
 

It is the Challenger you want to drive, isn't it?

RE: Color dislike
 

Was that really necessary? I asked a simpled question, don't bother with trying to make me look stupid with idiotic questions.

Frankie3521, no need to get testy. I know Jeremiah and he was not doing that to be rude, you mistook him was all. As for this discussion, remember most of those are photo chop pictures; therefore, those are not pictures taken of the Challenger in production black. I have only seen the Challenger in the concept color so far that wasn't a photo chop; therefore, do not get too concerned about some of these pictures because they are not necessarily official. Also remember that some cars (and colors) that look terrible in photos but look excellent in person and other look good in photos and bad in person, then other cars are just plain ugly either way (ex. Toyota Prius, Pontiac Aztek, etc.).

RE: Color dislike
 

I don't believe this car has been photoshopped or anything..there where other views of it and I have seen it numerous times on google. I just hope that it doesn't really look like that in person..

RE: Color dislike
 

Thanks RLSH700.

Frankie3521...I was just kidding. We try to be a friendly bunch here. If I was sitting in the same room. I would have asked you the same
question but smiling while I said it.

FYI - I am currently planning on getting a shiny black Challenger myself but what goes in the engine compartment will be "bad to the bone".

Enjoy the forum.

RE: Color dislike
 

Okay then, would you provide either a link or embed a picture to what you are referring to so then I can better understand what you are unsatisfied with?

RE: Color dislike
 

The links are in the original post RLSH, move your cursor over the "this" and such words.

RE: Color dislike
 

Hi Frankie3521 - Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're referring to photos of the test models they are driving around Detroit. Personally, I don't think those are refined colors at all. Color is last thing they are concerned with for the test cars. I'm guessing the final production cars will offer one or two retro colors (orange, green, purple, etc.) along with the traditional black, silver, red, white, etc. (similar to the Charger). If that black on the test models is going to be a production color also, I would call it gun-metal black...not my first choice either! :)

RE: Color dislike
 

Okay, now I found it, thank you. I did not notice the link earlier. I'm fine with that shade of black. My advice is if you don't like Black, get a different color as long as they don't use that stupid old quote from Henry Ford about having any color they want the car to be as long as it is black. My father always says when he hears that quote "that pretty much explains why Ford has the problems that they do today."

Okay back to the topic, I guess you have seen one in person to determine that it isn't just the photo is not doing justice for the Challenger. That appears to be a heavily modified model like the SEMA one. There are many things about this that are probably not going to see in the production model. I personally wouldn't worry about it. Do you like the shade of black used on any other Chrysler models?

RE: Color dislike
 

I think black on Chargers look fine, but that looks completely different IMO.

RE: Color dislike
 

If I was going to make a wager on it, I would bet that the black used on the Charger would most likely be used for the Challenger. Like I said, that Challenger hardly looks stock.

RE: Color dislike
 

That Challenger is hardly stock. I believe the topic on this car is on other parts of the forum. This car was brought out by Chrysler that basically has only the body from the concept and everything else is different. Yes, here it is:

For the looks and the sounds of this car, it truely is pathetic. In other words, it looks and sounds better then it really is. It doesn't move like it should, etc, etc. It's kind of like Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds, the second one not the original. I mean that is one nice looking car, Eleanor that is, the only problem with it is they slapped on fiberglass Japanese parts to an American muscle car. This isn't quite as bad as that, but it's still taking a very nice body and heavily modifying everything that will probably never show up on the original, and that more than likely includes the color. This car is just for show, nothing really more then that.
