I don't usually tend to see faces when I look at a car. I see a car.

I'd rather have a car with a design that looked aggressive as a whole, rather than one with a mean ol' cartoony "face" on it.

Whoah, is that thing goofy looking or what? Couldn't even get those two side hood tumors, errr, scoops, no, tumors, to line up with the hoods shut line. Billy Bob must have been on his third case of Schlitz when he got around to Bondo'ing them on back in his chicken shed/back bedroom. And whaddup with those computer print-out wheels ("don't git all pickity, ain't nobody gonna notice that after a couple snorts of Wild Turkey...")

Amazing how somebody can take a perfectly gorgeous car and make some bad joke out of it.

Wait, now I know where I saw that face:

I like it. but I do tend to agree with some of y'all. the things on the side need to go or have then indented into the door like the old times not sticking out.

Fender ducts are ok, given what they have to work with... but that they *overlap the fenders*? Fail x 10

Huge *** tacked on side gills? Add another few dozen fails.

Smiling badly attached segmented grinning bottom grille? Fail^(eleventybillion*infinity.)

That car is hideous. The original was nifty in it's weirdness (**** loooooong overhang in front though), but this is just...

I like it for what it is, a styling exercise. I would have liked to see the back.

I did a quicky of this very concept years ago when the challenger was still coming out.

Maybe Ford should build Torino Talladega based on Mustang for this whole aero war ...

Looks like crap!!! Why Chrysler used the LARGE Chrysler 300 floor plan for the Challenger, i'll never know. I can see them using it for the Charger because the Charger has always been a large car.

The Veritas looks more like its showing its teeth as opposed to smiling.

That Challenger is hideous. They could have at least done something to the dash to change it up a bit as opposed to painting pieces.

I'm on the edge with this. I like it overall from a distance but when you start really looking at it there is more refining that needs done.

Don't like it. The "smiling face" look gets into my nerves
