Pete Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Dukes of Hazzard for a charger wasn't it? Still, this would look cool dressed as the General Lee. http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/01/07/detroit-2006-dodge-challenger-concept-unveiled/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 That CHALLENGER looks the bollocks!!!! Hmm I think I'll be moving to the US Certainly a better effort than the Charger they released recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 It looks damn good. ...but what's with the "hemi" decals they keep bragging about? That was state of the art in the sixties, have they not moved since? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I hadn't realised they'd done a Charger too... http://www.popularhotrodding.com/features/0404phr_dodge/ Yeah, dissapointing compared with how it used to be. I saw it at the NY Auto show... one that did look good was the Chrystler Firepower... hope they release that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Sorry but MKIII Cortina springs to mind. That's because the Cortina copied the "Coke-bottle" styling of the American muscle cars, but without the muscle The official Challenger page: http://www.dodge.com/dodge_life/news/autoshow_news/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 The Challenger will be nice if they put it into production. Until then (they reckon in this months Motor Trend) that'll be at least 2008 IF they produce it. To my mind, the only 'Coke Bottle' shaped car was the '68 to '83 Corvette. (Was the only one the Americans referred to as being that shape when I lived there! I owned a '75 L82) Cortinas were square sided, not 'pinched' in the middle, weren't they? I know my Mk4 ande Mk5' were. (Showing my age here!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
