I love the challenger being big....it gives the front the long nose look that the old one had....if not it would look like a 300 with a different front fascia.
Do you know for sure, or have heard, Mopar is developing another one in a couple years? I'm asking only because it's suprising they didn't just wait, like GM did, to develop a new car (I know it's on the G8's platform.) It just seems silly they are going to redesign it in only a couple years. I can definately see better engines, like the 6.4; that makes total sense. I'm only asking because I hadn't heard this before

IMVHO, I've read a lot of posts about how big and chunky the Chally' is and how it's redesirable because of it and such. I don't, personally, think it's that bad at all. I've seen one in person and think the proportions are good and really, the biggest poopoo for me is the 5-speed auto'. I think that was a mistake, but Mopar is taking care of that. It was a big 'ole car back in the day too, bigger than Camaro or the Mustang, so I don't see too big a deal with it. Weight does account for a lot, but for me, if that weight is for the right reasons, it takes a little sting out of it.

Regarless, I'm glad competition is returning because it will only make our cars better
