Replying to: qbrozen (Feb 10, 2006 11:50 am) Yes, I see that now. However, I don't see any retro cues. It doesn't look like any station wagon from the 70's that I know of. Maybe it would have been better to name it an old Dodge wagon name, which I can't think of off hand. Replies to this message: bmk32 (Feb 12, 2006 7:00 am) qbrozen (Feb 13, 2006 6:58 am)

Replying to: viet3 (Feb 11, 2006 8:36 pm) why does the Charger or other retro muscle cars have to be so big?   Well, they were not exactally smallish cars back then either.

Replying to: chuck1959 (Feb 12, 2006 3:01 am) Monaco, Polara, Coronet, Aspen.....all were old Dodge wagon names.

Unless they come up with a two-door Charger without that ugly front end. Replies to this message: brysok6 (Feb 12, 2006 7:37 pm) jae5 (Feb 14, 2006 3:55 pm)

Replying to: 71charger (Feb 12, 2006 1:34 pm) Best of luck to you and Godspeed on your safe return. I hope the Challenger of your dreams is here and waiting for you when you get home.   I don't know if anyone caught the Chicago Auto Show on WGN last night, but the Camaro and Challenger were the stars of the show. They definately generated more buzz than anything else on the floor.   Seems to me American's could fall in love with American cars all over again if these two machines are any indication of where we're going.

Replying to: chuck1959 (Feb 12, 2006 3:01 am) Well, no, I don't think the Magnum looks like a station wagon from the 70s, either. But, like I said, it takes cues from 40s and 50s hot rods with the high beltline, narrow windows, slab sides, etc. There is nothing wrong with it, in the least, its great looking, but, if you follow the thread, the person I was responding to was calling the Challenger garbage because of its retro cues, while calling the Magnum and 300 completely new, fresh, and modern. Fact is, they are all retro. Its just that the Challenger concept seems a bit more retro than the others.

Replying to: m382 (Feb 11, 2006 7:53 pm) "Read between the lines of your own words. Do you think a car company strives to produce a car that would be the equivalent of a "single"...or "double" at best? Obviously not. In those terms, any product mereley being compared to a single or double would not be profitable business...what would you call it...a success?? It's not all in what you say, more as how you say it."   No, I'm merely trying to say that it's too bad Challenger isn't available right now, 'cause if it was I don't think DCX could build enough of 'em. Three more years will give consumers an all new Camaro and a freshened up Mustang to choose from too. Just more in the mix for muscle car crazy American's to choose from, that's all.   Have a nice day !

Replying to: brysok6 (Feb 12, 2006 7:37 pm) The same was in person, not sure which one got the most attention though. There was a decent crowd the GT500 as well. I really didn't look at the Camaro; I hope some clean-up is done to it before it hits the streets, if it does.   For me, I'm still leaning towards the Challenger. To me it just has that "look", that "feel". But as many said, the real determinates will be: 1. Will it really make it to production (from Dodge's past record, most likely it will) 2. What will / won't make it to production or will be changed and make it horrible in some way 3. Price / options 4. Dreaded dealer markup -   That Caliber SRT-8 was getting some looks as well, mostly for the hp rating. Not a bad little run about. The rest of the show was a bore to me.

Replying to: m382 (Feb 10, 2006 9:04 pm) Know this is off-topic, but do you think the new Impala will become the darling of the rental - company-car fleets like the previous generation?   Reason I ask is because the company I work for has Impalas as the mainstay fleet car, and Venture/whatever the new van is as people/box hauler throughout the NA locations. Our HQ here just got an '06, so looks as though we'll be rotating those in.

Replying to: m382 (Feb 10, 2006 9:18 pm) I don't like the Camaros look it looks real bad,Chevy should learn from Ford,they brought back what people loved too look at and if chevy could just get away from the future and bring back the old style more they would bring back the people.   FORD::: the old new ponies are the best looking Cars on the Road again.
