Back end looks alot different than the show car! dont like the rear at all, was it always as sharp at the top of the quarters? but it was always goig to be different from the concept :roll:

Certainly not as striking looking as the orange car we've all got used to - it's almost, dare I say it .... quite plain looking :shock:

I wasnt keen on the concept car's rear lights, and these arent much better/worse. It's the white (reversing?) light in the middle that spoils it, IMHO

You either want it to look like the original or you don't. Make up your mind! :lol:

Oh. hmmm...

I wanted to adore this, but that does look a bit plain/normal. :?

Dont know if its the rear lights, the wheels, the colour or a combo.
Certainly not as striking as the one we are used to seeing. Still - its a mighty improvement over the new "charger" (in inverted commas).

Is it just me or does it all of a sudden look rather fat and ordinary?

I dont think thats got anything to do with it Dave ' :lol: '

I didnt particularly care for the 'all red' rear lights and now it's got the reversing light in the middle like the 70, it looks like what it is, an afterthought - a token nod to the style of the original that hasnt been executed very well.

Now that is odd. I thought the same. There is something different about that which makes it look kind of unappealing. How different is it from the concept?

The front end has got a touch of the Vauxhall Ventoras about it....

I think it looks a little smaller than the concept, maybe not as wide, the front is good but the rear is all wrong and boring in my opinion, rather have a classic

Yes it does look narrower, is that because the sides look so deep and puffed up? I remember the concept as looking sharper and leaner than this, more in line with the original Challenger. Anyone got a pic of the concept handy that they can upload?

Also, in that first picture, the way the front bumper sticks out, it looks a bit like it's got it's tongue stuck behind it's bottom lip...
