Neo-K 182 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) now the basic concept wont even be released until the 2006 Detriot Auto Show but for now here are a couple concept images and looking at these it's not that bad. THESE ARE NOT PICTURES OF THE REAL CAR/CONCEPT. THESE ARE ARTIST RENDERINGS OF WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE the real concept design will be out in the 2006 Detriot Auto Show. first one is an artist rendering. the 2nd one is probably closer to what it might be. either way. nice to see a Challenger being made again. that was my personal favorite dodge. NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - It's starting to look like the muscle car wars of the late 1960s are coming back for real. Following this year's introduction of the Dodge Charger, the next muscle car name to be resurrected will be the Dodge Challenger, according to a report in the industry weekly Automotive News. The Challenger will be based on the same platform as the Charger, which shares its mechanical underpinnings with the Chrysler 300 and the Dodge Magnum wagon, according to the report. The newspaper cites industry sources including outside analysts familiar with the development program. No-one with Chrysler Group, the division of DaimlerChrysler responsible for Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles. would talk about the program, Automotive News said. Unlike the Charger, the Challenger will be a two-door car, according to the report. That would put it in direct competition with the recently redesigned Ford Mustang and the Pontiac GTO. The current Charger has four doors. Like the Charger, 300 and Magnum, the Challenger will be available with an optional V8 "Hemi" engine, Automotive News said. When it was originally introduced for the 1970 model year, the Challenger was a small "Pony Car" competitor to the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. The car is scheduled to be introduced in 2009, Automotive News said. The report said the company expects to sell 60,000 to 70,000 Challengers a year. http://money.cnn.com/2005/06/13/Autos/funo...enger/index.htm Edited August 31, 2005 by Neo-K 182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trueno_Drifter86 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The first one if they made it would be the best it looks sort of retro with the head lights and the hood. The second one looks meh alright I wouldn't be disgusted if they made it but disapointed. If I had to guess I think they would make the first one becuase of the whole "retro" craze going on and plus its damn sexy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo-K 182 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 yeah i know the 2nd one looks like sh*t. as for the signature dodge grill, we all know that it'll have it. just hopefully they wont make it as stuck out as the charger. personally i wouldn't mind seeing that 1st one with the dodge cross in the grill. would still look awesome.

NO the dodge grill is the most unattractive part of every dodge ever made so I say if they put it in I will go to Daimler Chrysler head quarters and rip all of their f*cking heads off.~TGK |PropagandaIncorporated:|: Steam:|: DeviantArt:|: Last.FM| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo-K 182 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 the dodge cross is the signature dodge symbol. it's on every car, and on many of them it does look good, like on the Viper, Ram, Dakota, SRT-4, ect. on the Charger it dosn't look good cause the charger itself dosn't look good. and this challenger will most likely have the dodge cross somewhere on the grill. all we can hope for is that it still retains most of the retro look.

xxnofear617xx Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The first one looks too much like the Ford Mustang right now the new version of the mustang has almost the same headlights I think they should change the headlights because it'd be a dodge mustang if they didn't. It looks almost exactly like the Mustang and everyone here should know that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Freak-2001 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Man I would be so happy if that first render is what it turns out to finally be as that is just sexy as, its got the look of the classics while being really modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have my deepest regrets thinking the dodge ram looks good. It is one of the reasons why dodge is the deepest cesspool of the american car world.~TGK |PropagandaIncorporated:|: Steam:|: DeviantArt:|: Last.FM| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIP YEK NOD Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 F*CK DODGE!!!!! the first pic looks like a resto-mod of an old challenger, the second is just butt-ugly. i am sure they mean well, but lets take a look at some of their past f*ck-ups. the avenger, 95 production, and 03 concept. it was a nice little car, and look what they turned it into a 4-door crossover? the f*ck? the charger, 1968 production, and 05 production a 4-door sedan? the f*ck? my guess is the challenger will be a sebring with a dodge grill, bearing little to no resemblance to the original, much like the many concepts before it.

Cojawfee Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The cross looks horrible, it looks like they just threw four crappy grills into one car. The sooner they get rid of it, the better. I can't stand Dodge cars because they look so ugly. This Challenger just might change that. Though, it would probably be cheaper to just buy a Mustang.

Neo-K 182 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 @SIP YEK NOD: yes we know the charger sucks. and that avenger concept too. dodge however as a whole is a very good company. they jsut dont make the best decisions. GM is worse though. *cough*GTO monaro*cough* @GTA3Freak:as would i, and yeah were talking about that same cross. about the cross. i honestly dont see why you guys hate it that much. it's the signature of dodge vehicles. Pontiac has their signature split eye grill, BMW has theirs. just about every company has a signature grill and dodge is no different. in the late early 90's with the Dodge Viper, Dodge created the cross and it's been intigrated into all their cars since. and it's a very nice accent to most of the cars. I'll be the first to admit it looks like sh*t on the charger, but like i said, the charger as a whole looks like sh*t. and how someone could think the Dodge Ram looks bad is just beyond me. it's an excelent full size truck. and the grill is excelent on it. not to mention the SRT-10 RAM is the fastest truck in the world.

xxnofear617xx Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) Dodge is starting to make some ugly cars. I really hope they don't try to f*ck with the Viper it's the only car I like from dodge. Except that Magnum which is the only new car form dodge I like. Everything else is sh*t @Neo-K: The Ram Srt-10 is a joke. It's total crap. Yes you get the fastest truck in the world. boring. Let's see how many MPG hmm let's see 9! WHat the hell is that. You wouldn't be able to drive it anywhere. You'd never get anywhere I'd drive 10 minutes and have to refill. That truck is very poor Edited August 31, 2005 by xxnofear617xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo-K 182 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 @xxnofear617xx: the Viper was already remade into the SRT-10 in 2002, so i doubt that it will be changed anytime soon. the Viper stayed in the RT-10 and GTS models for 10 years. so i wouldn't expect a change in the viper till 2010 at least. they might add some colors and/or make a GTS model. but thats it.

xxnofear617xx Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Yea Neo I just don't want them to re-make it and make it look like everything else. When they came out with the magnum it seems that they're trying to make everything look exactly like it. I don't like Dodge anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123abc Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Dodge's stuff now days isn't that great. Thats why I'm a fan of the pre 1972 cars from mopar. And the Viper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxnofear617xx Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The Viper and the old Dodge's were the sh*t I wanted one so bad when I was young and I still want one. I saw a challenger a couple days ago all rusted out and broken down it needs some TLC from me when I start driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duders Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The first pic seriously owned. The second one looks nothing like the first pic (which is truely unfortunete). Atleest Dodge doesn't do as much rebadging as GM and they actually designed the car from scratch. -duders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cojawfee Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The first pic is pure sex. I would be in heaven if they made it. You can get a nice Mustang (which looks the same if not better than that) for less than 25 thousand. Versus however much that would cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trueno_Drifter86 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 How can you say that it looks like a mustang the only part that even resembles it is that the head lights are set in. I like the dodge grill I almost liked it on the Charger untill I realized the rest of the car sucked monkey nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerchuk Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 in the late early 90's with the Dodge Viper, Dodge created the cross and it's been intigrated into all their cars since. and it's a very nice accent to most of the cars.. Dodge created their signature grille a while before the Viper was ever produced... to name a few off the top of my head, the Dakota, Ram, Stealth and Shadow had them in the pre-viper era...

TheRoper Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 a comparison '70 dodge challenger: the proposed 2010 challenger (the first one, as the second one is sh*t): the '05 ford mustang: as for the new challenger and the mustang, they're not really all that similar, not even the headlights. in fact, the new challenger looks more like it's modeled after a camaro over a mustang if anything (at least as far as the rear fenders go) '67 camaro: $$$ MAKE MONEY WITH NEOBUX $$H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
