No thanks.

The original was ugly enough, but this is hideous. And it makes absolutely zero sense on a Challenger.

Not really a fan..some of it seems well done..the nose and such but they go and gank it up with that stick on door thing.
Over all it looks ok but as said before it make no sence on a challenger.
Over all I give it a Meh.

I like it!


Sweet. I'd rock that for sure. Always loved the superbird with the sky wing. I would rather see it as a Plymouth but a Daytona is OK too.

Its not for everyone but I dig it. The chally already has an "I just dont give a...." attitude and this makes it even better

Can I retract?

I like the idea, but the tacked on hood pieces and side pieces are totally FAIL.

I hope Pixar got some cash for helping design the recent crop of american muscle cars. Its like the designers watched the movie and then brainstormed to create the Chally, Camaro, '10 Mustang.

Why do so many car designers insist on making the cars look like they are smiling? I want a mean looking car, not something that screams "I love you, you love me......"
