#620 of 659 I'd like a "General Lee" painted orange. by rockylee Dec 27, 2005 (1:04 am)
Perhaps a "Jessica Simpson" edition with a HUD photo of her in her Daisy's   However a Orange General Lee charger would be sharp.   Rocky

There's a little article on the upcoming Dodge Challenger concept in the February Car & Driver. I think some will really like it...
#622 of 659 I saw that article... by andre1969 Dec 30, 2005 (7:58 am)
on the Challenger, and I like it, except for the price. I'd love something like that, as I've always had a thing for midsized/large-ish coupes, and it looks like it's even a hardtop with roll-down rear windows! But I dunno if I'd be ready to pay $35K+ for it.
#623 of 659 Challenger pricing by m1miata Jan 01, 2006 (7:56 pm)
If they priced the Challenger at $21K, with the 250HP V6, it would be a reasonable deal. Or add $6K for a Hemi and extras pkg, and it's a deal. Anything above that, I may consider it some day used, but not as a new car, as it is less than a bargain. Same goes for the Camaro. The car should come base without ABS and other stuff they throw in. If a person wants all the additional ABS, cruise, and such, let them pay say $2K as an add-on package.   $21K base $23K with extras pkg. $27K Hemi+extras pkg.   I don't need GPS, as I am never lost. I just take more interesting side trips enroute to my destinations.   Loren Replies to this message: john_324 (Jan 03, 2006 7:31 am)

Replying to: m1miata (Jan 01, 2006 7:56 pm) I think Loren's hit it on the nose: the price point will be the key...it'll have to be pretty similar to that of the Mustang for the Challenger to sell in any volume.   I think Ford's gotten it right in terms of the price...the Mustang is priced pretty much exactly where a car like that should be. GM and DC should hopefully take note...I want real pony car wars again!

This is what a slick car looks like http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060108/ap_on_re_us/auto_show_muscle_cars Looks awesome! The only danger, if any, is that it becomes too retro, or replica car like in design. Perhaps I should not care, as I would be getting a modern day version of the original, without having to buy the original and update all the parts to make it perform to modern day standards. The car has the potential to blow away the Stang in looks. If they can get a modern day front to not look like a big fish lip sticking out front, like on the Stang, but more like the photo of the prototype in the article, it is one giant leap ahead of Ford. And the overall look, as back when, is so smooth. The Camaro and Challenger, both to my eyes was always a bit smoother and more modern for its time. The Mustang did however do what it was suppose to do with the design - looks more muscular. So it is not wrong, just different in nature. I love all three.   The Charger use to be slick looking in the same time period of around 1970, so now you have a bit of a dilemma. You have now reminded people, once again, as to how wrong the look of the Charger is when you get the Challenger correct. Maybe the Charger should have been called the 300S instead? Sure looks like a modified 300. And the modified look doesn't fully come off right IMHO.   Loren
#626 of 659 Maybe the Charger is working? by pf_flyer HOST Jan 10, 2006 (6:05 am)
With all the news being focused on the GM Toyota battle for world sales leadership, the Ford vs. Chrysler battle has been kind of lost.   "If Chrysler has some winners with its new products, it could pass Ford in North American production as soon as 12 months from now," Sean McAlinden, chief economist for the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, said Sunday.   http://blogs.edmunds.com/.ee8e4e3

I Think your right,I do own a Charger and I think its the best in it's class.I recently read the Mopar muscle mag. and it said the Charger had more pre orders than the hot 300 did.Thanks for your comments.I do see more mopars on the road then I ever saw.

Replying to: xtec (Jan 17, 2006 9:50 am) The Charger SRT-8 and 300 SRT-8 are on my short list. The SRT-8 Charger looks bad to the bone !!!!   Rocky   P.S. Especially for a 27 yr. old with 2 kids and a wife
#629 of 659 RE:Rocky by xtec Feb 08, 2006 (2:59 pm)
Thanks for the kind words on the Charger.I think its one of the coolest cars around.The SRT8 really gets your attention when you see it.I hope you make the right choice. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Replies to this message: rockylee (Feb 08, 2006 4:12 pm)
