RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

Why are there different grilles on the cars? In the pic of the 3 Challengers, they have the grille like the concept model, but in the close-up of the grille itself, it's the much-better-looking '70-style grille seen in the spy photos of the production model. Also, that stupid block-letter Challenger logo has GOT to go, along with the ram's head insignia.

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

This looks suspiciously like a dealership brochure, and I'm guessing the closeup shots are the production Challenger! That would explain the different grilles, for sure, and I don't think the concept had a flip-top gas cap, did it?... And the duck-tail spoiler... I stopped at my closest dealer yesterday and they didn't have any brochures.

But they still don't want to give away the entire package -- see the little note that says "concept vehicles shown" where they show the whole car?

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

It is a dealership brochure. Got this from a dealer trying to pre sell a challenger on ebay. The picture of the three challengers looks like the concept car thats been photo shopped in different colors since were not supposed to know what the car looks like till Feb. The other photos are teasers of the actual production car. Because of the photo leak at the dealers convention in Vegas, Dodge is probably not being as secretive any more.......

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

Yeah....thx guys....I was wondering how in the heck could they get an NDA to really be honored by a printer. You know someone would leak it (specifically pricing).

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

From the dealers' Presell brochure:

With the dealers marking up the 2008's, and '08 production numbers being so low (4,500, not the 5,000 we were lead to believe), this is good news for us - the common customer - who'll be ordering theirs late summer of '08.
Maybe, if we're lucky, we'll hear more news about '09 production numbers, options (392 HEMI?), packages, and '09 prices sooner than later.

Okay.....my hopes are up again.

Looks like no more six-shooter headlight casing??

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

If you look closely at the wheel design as well in the top photo, you will see that those differ from the concepts wheels. Another detail I noted which may not blend well, as partly noted by RoswellGrey, the FUEL filler text differs from the Block letters of the Challenger text.

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

Actually, kramtrah, the font used on the word "Fuel" is remarkably like the font used on similar gas covers on Mopars back in the early '70s -- it never matched any other badging on the cars. At least they got that part right.

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

I could not find any information on that font. Is it spelled correctly?

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

I wasn't crazy about the original rims and I'm not crazy about these either. I just think 20 inch rims is too wide. Looks too lavish, or as the preferred word these days it's too [sm=bling.gif]

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

Some may hate me for it but I will be pulling the new rims off and running a torker rim with rubber that has a side wall and don't look like a run flat or in his words bling bling. Big rims no side wall don't trip my triger eather. I will keep diamiter same for speedo but i will run smaller rim with more sidewall tires. I am type that don't care about cornering (sidewall give) i am a 1/4 miles race guy. Heck just to blow some minds i may run weld drag lite rimes and only have 3.5" wide on front and street slicks on back. That would look very retro hot rod with the pedistal mount spioler and the hemi stripe ona plum car . :D ok well maybe a little wider front rims :eek: All these bling bling kids with there fast and fereas cars ok in part 2 what did they have to do to beat true american muscle? lol OK KIDDIES TIME TO MEET MOPAR AGAIN [sm=badbadbad.gif] and he is packing a HEMI.

Remember this is an IRS not a leaf spring for you drag strippers.

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

It took me a bit to figure out what you meant, Jeremiah. No, "kramtrah" was the name of the person I was responding to, not the font name. I have no idea what that font is and I don't have any typography books anymore. :D

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

I was hoping nobody would find my bad assumption mistake. It was the way I interpretated the sentence. :D

Good find on catching what I meant.

My guess is this is their own made up font type.

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

I found a photo that provides more details of the 2008 production car's tail section. See:

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

Looks good. Think there'll be a kit to put the Neon tube (or reasonable facsimile) for the tail lights?

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

that kind of looks like they are led tail lights. Unless it is just the lens.

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

Looking at the tail lamp on this, while I agree there could be led's under the red reflector we see, I think this size is too large for the number of led's required. The concept spoiled us all into believeing that a neon tail light assembly would be received, but either for cost or feasability, it's not gonna make it. Led's are being used today for both cost and longevity of component as compared to conventional bulbs. I'm just not sure given the potential size of the tail lights on the Challenger that they are possible for this use. Time will tell.

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

Sorry to disappoint, but a careful examination will show that there are brilliant spots and disfused spots - meaning - bulbs.

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

If those are bulbs then maybe an aftermarket product will make them LED's. If that is the case I will upgrade to that for sure.

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

I still say this is a product aftermarket item that's ripe for the picking!

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

I am guessing it is a 5 link IRS.

What the hell is that???? [:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(]

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

Probably a car made from Legos.

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

LOL! Thats pretty cool! A Challego!

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

that is COOL!:D I want that! awsome!
I've always wanted a lego ferrari enzo but this would be cooler.
Is that a buyable set?

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

:D:D

First photos of production interior! See:

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

Looks good. I thought this was going to have some sort of a push button start or something? I guess this would be an '09 right?

RE: New Challenger Pics!
 

Love the exterior...don't like the interior. But will buy anyway.

I want the prototype interior
 

I'm hoping the interior shot shown above is not truly the production plan. That is way different (ugly & boring) than the prototype.

If that's what the interior will look like on my $42k+ purchase, I may be considering something else - I will leave my name on the preorder list and hope it's better than that.

RE: I want the prototype interior
 

I like the inteior. Clean and simple true muscle car no flash. I also love the dash key ignition, but I am one of the people that will be getting a stripped as much as posable one. I will probly be ordering a 09 because of dealers putting loaded ones on lot.
