where are the side curtain air bags located... I would hate to be involved in a slight side impact only to be killed when a guage pod is impaled in my head!

I agree, I would much rather have a Beef Steak than a Rice Cake.
Funny isn't it, when you go to an Italian restaurant you pay $40.00 for a plate of pasta when you can buy enough pasta to feed 100 people with $40.00, same thing about Italian cars.
Now as for the the Asian cars, Chineese Buffet or all you can eat Sushi, same feeling except I get hungry after 30 minutes of eating at a Chineese Buffet and I DO NOT EAT RAW FISH!!

It would be cool to have a few more gauges but I agree that the pillar style is to much "Import". Mopar should come up with a set for the top of the dash or a maybe a redesigned center console... Any one else have any idea's?

Perhaps down the road, some after market supplier will produce a new "Rallye" dash (Like the 70 Challenger, or...) that will replace the factory dash and would house all the needed gauges, such as oil temp, oil pessure, etc, etc....
Perhaps an update for the 2010 Challenger??? Perhaps a version of the 2006 concept Challenger's dash?!??

I also heard that the pillar guages can interfere with the air bags. They were poorly designed.
