This is what I see... The side of the car looks very similar to the concept car- tall, slabsided and plain below the accent line. It appears, however, to have lost some height from the accent line to the belt line. I think they did away with the widow ledge on the door and used a flush mount weather strip for the window which took some of the height from the appearance of the metal. As a result, the glass grew in height and the car lost a little of the concept car's squat look. Also, the door handles were changed to a pull up style.

That being said, I can't wait to buy one!

 

Kinda wish they would have kept the concept door handles.

 

Those handles were an after thougth. The pullups are better and are more in line with the original.

It is easier to open up the door with all of your fingers than just some of them.

 

I think my door handles on my 71 have been swapped out more than my starters. They were weak sauce. So any improvements on the handles is a plus.But again we'll have to wait and see what the end results are.

 

Interesting, I kept the same handle for 5 years and never had any problems but I would about twice a year squirt WD-40 in the key hole.

 

Why aren't there any new photos of the pre-production Challengers on the Michigan highways?

Is Chrysler upset that they got photograped and is now using a Romulan (Star Trek) "cloaking device?"

 

It seems they covered up the side to "hide" the B-pillar and i agree it seems to have lost a bit of its squattiness (is that a word?) ... but it does look great. I just think Dodge is going to be in for a big surprise for demand... So far they have the challenger classified as a niche market..but if the price is right and reliable.... Camary watch out....lol

 

One of my favorite episodes of all time "The Enterprise Incident" .

 

Enjoy a new still camo'd silver Challenger, guys!

 

Here are a few more expanded shots.

They are very nice close ups.
