HOLY CRAP!! A new version of the Dodge Challenger!
My first car was a 1972 Challenger, and it was an ass kicker!
It looked like this:




Here's the new one:








I gotta get me one of those!

1. Looks like a Mustang with double lazy-eyes
And eh, I guess Detroit has fallen into so much suckage, they're starting to regress. Whatever.

11. Yeah, OK, that's pretty cool.
I've always like Supras too. Those things are rockets.

2. Someone's been paying attention to Ford and the '05 Mustang.
Back to the future for Chrysler too.

That's a pretty nice looking car, but I'd rather have your '72. :D

4. I wish I still had the 72.
This new one is pretty friggin awesome, though. Better looking than the reissue Charger.

5. The re-issue Charger COULD have been nice.

I think it was on the right track, but it just looks uninspired.

What Detroit really needs to do is make a car that handles as well as go fast in a straight line. You'd think being owned by Daimler would help...

8. I totally forgot that the Lee was a Charger...
I'm more used to thinking of the '66 or '67 Charger. My brother owned one, as did my dad.

10. We had a '68 Charger
We moved from San Diego to Chattanooga in that car, in 1969 - about 2,200 miles. My parents, my older sister, and me... no damn minivan or SUV needed back in those days. :D

14. We moved cross-country twice in a '72 Mercury.
You could put some of today's small SUV's in its trunk.

15. Don't you know
Bo & Luke probably have families by now! And the last time I saw Daisy she needs that extra door to get into the general lee! Sorry about that, a little severe the last two times a saw her on TV after all these years, the first time was like wow she's aged very well, then the second time like a year or two later it was like what happened she'd looked like she had a tire attached to her waist & butt.

13. It could be a little bit, umm, "longer" in my opinion.
It's still a wonderful blast from the past for me. I'll reserve final judgement until I see one up close at this year's Chicago Auto Show.
