Production Challenger - on the road!
Considering the concept had production pieces in the interior already, it was always going to be a ringer for the production car, unlike Camaro that was throw something together and figure it out later when they rushed into the fray. Chrysler went daring with the Charger/300/Magnum and its going to work out well with the Challenger. I like this thing a lot.
I personally wouldn't buy one, either I'll end up with another Mustang, CTS coupe, or something like an SRT Charger(whatever the '10 version is) if I want 4 doors, as this car is a bit large for my tastes as a coupe. But still cool to have it on the roads.

Spotted again.
Seems this one has a full width rear light, which I'm not so keen on.

Spot the difference in the tail lamps. I prefer the first one that was spotted, here:

And maybe its just me, but when i saw that the first thing i thought of was a fattened version of a Nissan S14 tail... and i dont like those much.
LOL! I thought it was only me thats why i didnt say anything, but i guess im not alone!
Lets just hope they don't goof up the '10. I still say if you put this car together with Camaro and the current S197, the Mustang takes the cake as far as looks go. The other 2 probably have it outgunned, but all in all, I'll still take the Mustang.

I am soooooo going into debt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man I love it!
It looks like they made the front and rear panels a tad more angular but it works so no complaints here

Man, that Challenger's a looker, Exhibit A in the beauty of a clean, well designed automotive form. It's thankfully devoid of tacky trailer-park tack-ons that tart up other well done basic designs that some other, unnamed manufacturer too resorts to. Lovely how the light plays off the flanks, no amount of lick-'n-stick testosterone-based protrusions could match that, a sign of great design rather than a lot of design -- real artistry here rather than cheesy artifice.
While it's undoubtedly a pretty big car, its hides its size beautifully. The bumper cut lines are wonderfully done, quite in contrast to the somewhat awkward, busy and clumsy lines of the Camaro prototypes. Much the same could be said for the front and rear ends overall too, where the Camaro starts looking a bit too overstyled and fussy.
The rear spoiler is discreet yet purposeful and likely functional, in contrast to the J.C. Whitney airbrake adornment on the Stang GT, which soley enhances ego rather than performance. I would probably make it body color, though in black, it does lend a subtle bit of contrast.
Nice touch with the slotted brake rotors too and the mongo calipers.
The Challenger once again showcases Chryslers ability to bring showcars to the showroom unmolested by the vagaries of production requirements. Well done and an impressive gauntlet to be laid at the feet of Ford and GM.

This car is gorgeous and I think they've done a superb job of keeping it looking like the concept car.
The only downer for me, at the moment, is the first cars will all be autos only.
