I like the wheels better too. Not a fan of rectangular exhaust tips, but those look nice. Did they really have to put the word "Fuel" on the fuel filler door? Like someone was going to put the windshield washer fluid there. What's the spoiler made of? Rubber or plastic? Would've probably preferred body color. Like the grill a lot. Fills up that space well.
Now when do we get to see the interior?

I have seen the concept twice, and I prefer the concept wheels but I have not seen the production wheels other than the picture.
Whether if you are fan of the rectangular exhaust tips or not that is the way the original was as I actually installed some on my Challenger.
That shape is definitely one of Challenger's trademark. My guess on the spoiler is that is is a hard polymer.

Some of those pics are concept car pics.

I especially like the "crossbar-less" grille - that looks fine on my Ram pickup but always thought it looked a bit out of place on the Challenger concept - glad someone and Chrysler apparently thought the same way.
And gotta love the retro gas cap, hope that makes it into production also. I'm still wondering about the "telemetry" meter in the dash... hopefully that makes it past the bean counters too, even if it is an SRT exclusive.

Some definite differences. I thought I didn't see a crosshair grille on the earlier pictures, but it was taken with a lower grade camera and it was dark so it was hard to say for sure. I like it either way honestly.

The chrome rectangular exhaust tips won't have the split in the middle that the concept's had.
I would choose the split because that is what my Challenger had but at this point it is not a big deal.
