Cool.

nester7929 · 01-09-2012, 01:16 PM

I'd rather it not replace the Challenger, but I understand why they don't want both.

Brokinarrow · 01-09-2012, 01:32 PM

Intriguing....

Zabo · 01-09-2012, 01:35 PM

I'll believe it when I see it.. And not wind up the niche cruiser pig that is the current challenger. Nice, but wound up in the wrong segment.

It'll be sad to see the Challenger go, but I can see why they might take it away.

If they are able to make a decent 'cuda throwback that looks modern at the same time and comes with a V8. I would be very happy. However, since I am not rich, I would have to make a tough choice between my current Camaro and the modern interpretation of my childhood favorite car.

It makes me wonder if the CODE 130R that came out today might become the new Chevelle?

Well if you look at the video for the new 130R it says inspired by heritage with a picture of the front grill of the old Chevelle so the grills are similar except the headlights of course.

I kind of thought that concept looked ugly... but I'll give it one thing, I bet it has great rear headroom.

Now this one I liked... The TRU 140S

First the news of the ~3400lb ATS, now this, and a lighter Mustang on the way. I like the direction these pony cars are heading. My one complaint all along has been they're all too big and heavy. Good news.

I hope they'll still have enough front leg room for us well over 6' tall... I can't fit in most any Asian coupe because of legroom...
