Dodge Challenger

Anyone see the artist drawings of the Challenger that Dodge will likely produce as a fail to the Mustang?

The thing will sell like crazy with engine options ranging from a V6 to a

425 hp "Hemi".

And, Mr. Lutz, what do you have on the showroom floor or at least on the drawing boards to sell to the driving enthusiast who can't swing a Corvette and will not buy the fake GTO Mondeo?

Precisely nothing. Oh yeah, you do have the stupid, whatever it's called, fake pickup truck thing with the convertible top that no one wants to buy. Whoever approved that waste of development money ought to be fired immediately if not sooner.

If Chrysler does this Challenger right, it may be the replacement for my BMW

330i in a few years.

There bringing back the Camaro? What about the Trans Am?

Take a look at what's on the drawing board if it's still up and hasn't been removed.

The Mondeo is a Ford product from Europe.

The Monaro is the Aussie car the GTO is based on.

Guess you haven't heard about the Camaro coming back.

Why do you hate the GTO so much? My only complaint about it is the price, who cares if it's an Aussie car, it's better than anything GM has come out with here in the US in the last 30 years.

Just got my Hemmings Muscle Machines yesterday, one of the columnists was discussing this. Apparently you're not going to get any hard info, but the buzz is it may be back for '06.

Especially now that they have added some of the "legacy" GTO elements to the design. I haven't looked at the sales numbers lately. Have they improved this past year?

Hopefully with a 427 in it.

It will end up with 4 doors and window sills so high that you will have to stretch to see out of the side windows.

Lutz and all of his leutinants should have been gone a long time ago.

A 427?...I might go for a 427 as long as it uses the same technology as the NorthStar V8 with the 4-6-8 cylinders adjustment allowing me to cruise on just 4 cylinders getting 30 miles per gallon until I step into it.

That can be explained in 5 letters U-G-L-E-Y

I hope it looks better than Charger. Entirely to much going on in the styling of the charger. Plus it should have been a coupe. Hot rod 4 doors look so silly.

Wha-a-a-a-t???? Screww the NorthStar engine! You don't like the smallblock 427 in the 2006 Z06 Corvette? It's 505 h.p. and gets over 30 m.p.g. highway if you use 6th gear.

I have finally started to see a couple "in the wild" but I don't think we can call this any kind of success, sadly.

I don't think it's ugly, just kind of bland looking... and that's fine by me, I don't really want to look like I'm driving a "hot" car even if I am. No sense attracting the attention of the local constabulary...
