Besides the Jeep my camaro was my favorite car. It was an '81 with t-tops, small block 400, posi and FAST. Sold it after I was pulled over twice for drag racing.

The pick looks kinda like a Mustang. Pretty sharp.
 
Wow it looks really good! Normally I dont like these new cars like the charger because they dont hold true to it's roots. That camaro looks like a camaro, they did a good job.
 
Not a camaro fan but this thing looks nice! I do like how they did the retro thing like the mustang. Dodge is doing the same thing with the Challenger... good thing since they screwed up the charger... butt ugly.

Heres the Challenger.

I like that Charger. They've kept enough of the old stylings so that you can tell what it is just by looking at it. Now, the GTO is what was ruined. I don't know how that could even call that a GTO.

edit: the pictures in that link are of the Challenger not the Charger. I like the car in those pics. I haven't seen the Charger yet.

Oops, i fixed it... Yeah they did ruin the GTO. Even worse than the Charger. Pontiac needs some new designers cause everything that they make looks the same.

HERES the charger. 4 Door? WTF?

The did ruin the charger, But the GTO is a great tribute to the original, I know a lot of people say that it looks like a glorified sunfire, well think about it, the original GTO was nothing but a stripped down tempest with a torquey motor with way too much power, and a different bumper.

as for that camaro, I like the styling cues from the 69.. I'd buy one in a heart beat.
 
i really like the new challenger but just like the new mustang, its missing something, cant quite put my finger on it. i think its just a little too sleek, they should make it just a little more boxy. i really like the direction the big 3 are taking. MUSCLE IS BACK!!!!!, there isnt a ricer in the world that can argue with that
 
Yeah the challenger and mustang are hits with me in terms of styling. I wish the camaro would have been styled more like the late 60s. I dont really like the front end too much on this one.

The Mustang is definitely missing something...it's called a MOTOR.
The Charger looks good and the SRT8 version is pimpin over 400HP. What's not to like about that? I think the Challenger is not retro enough. The body looks big, bulky and heavy just like the old ones. It just doesn't have that modern look until you open the hood.
That Camaro front end is BFUGLY.
 
Since the Challenger was brought up I figured you guys would like this one.

2006 North American International Auto Show

Challenger buff bares it all inside auto show

Woman sneaks in late to pose nude atop the new Dodge concept car

John Wisely / The Detroit News

DETROIT -- Forget Desperate Housewives, the sexiest display at the Auto Show may have been one that started long after the doors were locked.

Show officials are trying to learn who sneaked a tipsy blond woman onto the Cobo Center show floor about 2:30 a.m. Monday to pose nude atop the new Dodge Challenger.

"We heard they were all over the Challenger," said Jason Vines, vice president of communications for the Chrysler Group, which earlier brought in the very-clothed actress Eva Longoria to pose with its exhibit. "Obviously, this car is a magnet. We want people to love these cars but not in that way."

Workers said security guards found the woman posing while more than a dozen others gawked and snapped photos with camera phones. Cobo Director Glenn Blanton said the city is investigating.

"If employees were involved, there will be discipline," he said.

Show officials are taking the security breach seriously. "The only people who are supposed to be on the floor at that time are people who are working," said Rod Alberts of the Detroit Auto Dealers Association, which sponsors the show. "We want to get to the bottom of this and make sure it doesn't happen again."
