Challenger Vert

Welp this was just emailed to me
Not sure if it's legit or not but i thought it interesting
Sorry if it's a repost I didn't see it anywhere else

I have a strange feeling it's just a chop but who knows

wouldn't make sense for dodge not to offer a vert since the mustang and camaro are in a way the target competition.

My mom and I agree, the Challenger is the best looking car since back in the day.

Wow, that's pretty awesome!! When I was at an auto show last year, there was this old foreign guy trying to get the woman, talking about the challenger concept, to let him buy it! He kept asking here over and over if he could buy it! It was just kinda funny!

The car looks great,
but to me looses some of the oomph by getting rid of the roof....

I thought it was cool at first, but the Challenger has really been dropping in my book in terms of styling. It doesn't look bad, but it just doesn't look good anymore for some reason.

Actually, it's a pretty obvious chop.

And I agree, the Challenger is already starting to lose its luster, IMO. And the way Chrysler is going these days, I'd be surprised if they got more than two production years out of this thing...and even at that it will be an expensive niche car for which Dodge dealers will probably demand GT500-level prices.

The Camaro will be a much more serious, long term contender, IMO, particularly now that GM has announced their intention to also build it in right-hand drive configurations. The Camaro is clearly going global, and I expect the 2010 Stang will, too.
