Those are not very good pics either. The color sucks and the car is dirty. Just see it in your minds eye :-).. It's perfect..

From the front you can see something in the air intake area (functional flaps?) Doesn't look quite shiny enough to be functional metal butterflies tho...... This car has slotted rotors too.

more like there's too much roof or something...Like the windows need to be an inch taller. . . and all that black around them is a bit weird. Probably just overanalyzing and it'll look fine. Might just be the blah color in the blah weather and a weird angle.

My be me but... I think the car looks great. They gave us a car we can all be proud of and they did it with alot of the 70s retro look. You won't get it just like the concept, they have too many codes that the car has to meet. Safety is worked into all cars today and you get as close as you can and still meet those codes. We have a nice car, now when you get yours you can add or delete as you see fit. Make the car as you want it to be. I like the stock look and add the ponies under the hood.

Not digging the silver color - don't get me wrong, I don't HATE silver, but I don't love it either. Just don't think silver does the car proper justice.

And are those "headlights" beside the regular lights the parking lights? If so, that's one goofy styling choice. I was hoping for an old fashioned quad headlight setup with separate high/low beam headlights... but guess you can't have everything.

I think it looks quite good. It would look better if "Challenger" was written in script and placed on the opposite end of the grille, above the SRT logo though.
Mr. Wes, I've noted before that you indeed ARE a True American. Also, it needs the script Challenger badges on the fenders (ABOVE the bend, as the 1970 model did), the R/T badges on the fenders below the bend and the old-school Chrysler Pentastar logo at the bottom of the fenders. Obviously, a trip to the body shop will be in order before the '09 Challenger comes home.

After absorbing all the safety regulations into the car, it's close enough to the concept. Beats the heck out of the Mustang and that awful looking Camaro they're coming out with! Just imagine tearing it up with a 6.1L under the hood and manual.
