RE: strange trunk line
hmmm why wouldnt this be a production car. They have stated the line and Im sure there is some fine tuning to be completed prior to delivery. I dont understand why you say this is not production?

RE: strange trunk line
Thats not production vehicle.. from the looks of it the hood on the black SRT looks like it was opened and not shut all the way I'm a reckin. The orange on the hand does look to be a bad body line for sure. But I agree with Paladin on this, if anyone takes ownership of vehicle like that then, well, just wow!
edit part: Here's a link to Motor Trend online with the silver one... trunk line is fine.

RE: strange trunk line
Personally, I think it's that damned spoiler. Probably doesn't fit right because of that. My 1970 Challenger didn't have a spoiler. The 2006 concept Challenger didn't have a spoiler. This car shouldn't have a spoiler, either. Or a Ram's head insignia on the front end for that matter.

RE: strange trunk line
From the angle the black chally looked like it had it's trunk open/unlatched.
But that orange one looks like they missed getting the trunk shape to match the rear quarter. That isn't a simple adjustment of the hinge.
What a shame they put this in a car they are calling "production". Just like the unfinished undercarriage/undertrunk views shown.
If that's the fit and finish I see when real production challys come in, I'm buying something else.

RE: strange trunk line
I've been to hundreds of car shows where the hoods, doors, trunks have been open or just barely shut. I definitely see a difference between makes when say a door is not completely closed, the gaps are a lot closer than say cars from the 90's - basically meaning cars today close & "seal" better than before, if these newer cars are not completely
"shut", it can look like the cars been in an accident or a misaligned panel. On both my 300C & Ram, when the doors or trunk is not totally closed, they look just like the black car, The orange car looks like the trunk panel is not with in spec.
