Bottom Line: If the LX platform helps Chrysler justify the return of 2 door musclecars, I'm willing to overlook a little weight. Heck, I'll go on a diet to make up the difference.

Challenger:

Steevo, I have a suit that weighs as much as you do, dude. Now I can lose weight and make up for the difference. You however, are a skinny smart dude. Only way you can lose weight is to drive nekkid and none of us want that. Allen maybe, but not the rest of us. OK maybe Bill too.

I have a fund started "A Midlife Chrysler Fund" if you will, to purchase one of the Challengers. I love it. General Motors really needs to steal some of the design influence from some of its past winners, Like the 69 camaro. I know a lot of folks say it takes "styling cues" form the 69, but C'mon. I've seen Mapplethorpe take a crap on canvas, hang it the Met, and have an endless stream of Artsy Fartsy wine and Cheezers call it "Modern Art", all the while lamenting of the pain and depth displayed by the Artist's sweeping strokes and composition. Truth be known, Its Just Collard Greens and peanut butter, and lettin' it land where it will. And some serious drying time.

The Challenger is what people want. Nostalgia!!! And its Bad to the Bone. And to a large degree, It's like "dancing with the one that brung ya". Chrysler is doing it and so is Ford. Chevrolet is just askin' "Do you mind if we dance wif yo date"?

I am impressed with Chrysler and it's efforts.
