Am I the only one that finds the challengers unappealing?
When I saw it in person I was just kinda like eh.. It didn't jump out at me at all.

you should get your eyes checked then lol

It's a big,bulky car....it's wiiiiide. In the right colour,such as white or orange,it stands out like nothing else.

I think in the recent wave of "retro" cars,like the Thunderbird,Mini,Camaro,Mustang and others,the Challenger is the best one of the bunch.

I might go down to my dad's place this weekend and go look at some with him and give 'em a rip.

My eyes are pretty good. To me it looked like a 2 door family coupe. The long doors/panels. The ride height made it look more narrow than wide.
To me, A Corvette jumps out. No matter the body style. This just looked like it'll be lost amongst the other cars on the road.

yeah,well it looks pretty damn similar to a 1970 Challenger. Was that a big family coupe?

It was big, yes.
I'm an old car fan. And the retro looks really appealed to me. Except the camaro honestly. I was excited about the challenger. Maybe it was just the silver one I saw. I'm hoping a black one in person will change my opinions. Since most cars look better in black.

I agree. The jagged lines and everything just don't flow. It was neat to see, even in transformers. But still wasn't that great.
If I see another color challenger in person, and it changes my opinion, I'll be sure to let ya know

for starters,I was a fan of the 300C and Charger since they came out,and I used to build the seats for them,and I also built the seats for about the first 250-300 Challengers built. I think it's a bad ass car and I would totally rock one if I could afford it.

I hope it takes over sales from the Mustang and start to see as many Challengers on the road as I do Mustangs. Ford made those things as popular as Civics and Corollas somehow.
