- DC has a history of bringing many concepts to reality.

While it's true the initial Charger concept was an alternate fuel vehicle but still with a lot of horsepower, disregarding the power train, none of the styling made it to production.

True. I totally agree with that. I loved the original Charger concept back in '99, but when the production version was released I was disgusted. At first, I thought,how can they have gone from a sexy-sleek looking design to a brick-inspired behemoth? All that has changed now and the car has actually grown on me, especially the SRT-8. I just hope that Dodge will not deviate so much from the concept Challenger's design...but ya never know?

May be. But Charger reality was not even close to Charger concept.

It would be ridiculous to show a full-on retro Challenger that looks this close to production ready, and then bait & switch some fugly box a year later. Besides, they already have lots of boxey sedan/wagons at DC. This car fills a gap in their lineup.
No, it's no coincidence that Dodge is showing us a retro Challenger: because new Stang sales are ON FIRE.
Plus, that Chicago Tribune article as much a says they're going to build it. Rest assured, they're GOING to build it.

stuff like heated seats and NAV (which the Magnum and Charger both offer) so that will siphon sales away from Ford, unless they provide more creature comforts in future Stangs.
Not this discussion again . . . . . .

I don't think the original charger concept was a production intent concept. The 2004 Mustang GT concept was definitely a teaser to the production car. I will bet the Challenger concept will do the same.

Here ya go guys, I enlarged the pics a little. Overall I'd say it's a good attempt from Dodge. This should force Ford to take a look at the Stang and up the anti by giving us more HP among other things. A little competition for the Mustang just might be what the doctor ordered!!!!

Do you have a link to it? I just find it hard to believe one of Burningman's designs was posted as a spy photo.
