Man Kris, you're a tough critic!

It's looking like the guys from Mopar are goin' all out retro. The only thing that pops off of the car to me that might look a little out of place are the wheels. They're almost too modern for the look of the car. They look good but the car looks like a smoothed 1970 Challenger done by Chip and then a set of modern OEM style wheels bolted up. I'd like to see a nice retro set of Magnums or something?

What do you guys think? Other than that I think the "look" is absolutely Killer!

John

You could buy a set of 17 or 18 inch aluminum Magnum wheels from Wheel Vintiques with the proper offset. That would look pretty sweet on there. I didn't know about the spy shots, thanks for posting them Jeff.

NAIS is going to be fun this year.

I'm curious to see what the modern incarnation of the 'pistol grip' shifter is going to look like.

I love that it actually has quarters with lines no them!!! and the rear window looks fairly flat... my only complaint is that it needs some help in the bumper area...with the short grill opening and no chrome or anything under it the front valance just looks kinda big. I dig the bulllet look mirros too. I would def buy one.....only question will they have a joe dirt trim package?

I love it. In the rendering, the lights look dead on but in the pic, they looked weird. That's about all. The whole wheel thing I can deal with. Everybody with put the older looking magnums on them, if they build it. I'm not a Mopar fanboy but d@mn, build it.

I love it, but it will be interesting to see what they will actually look like in production, The Mustang looked abetter as the concept than it does now, even though it is still pretty cool. This one excites me more than the Mustang does, however. And a HEMI...... NOthing wrong with that. They will sell a bunch of them if they build it based on that fact alone, maybe even one to me!

It would probably be a "Chrysler Cuda"

what exactly is GM going to show us at the Auto Show in Detroit. Is it a Camaro concept car or a real close representation of what is coming in a year or two.

I don't know if GM will be able to come up with something that can compete style wise with the Mustang or the Challenger.
