Screw that. If I ever buy one it will be a Pontiac version (not happening according to what I am reading) or it will be 3-5 year old -- used car. Basically, GM is too little, too late.

I'll always have my third gen (God willing) but I am rapidly turning into a Mopar fan. You seen the new Challenger???

I think EA will be spending some time in a future version of "Need for Speed" proving what platform is better, cooler, faster, stronger.

I was raised on mopar. That's all my dad had, chargers, challengers, and cudas. I would love to have an old mopar someday. My dream is to have a General Lee, Kitt, and an Eleanor.

I couldn't agree more with this statement!

I do like the Challenger and it sounds like it will be a beast, but I think the rearend is fugly as compared to the frontend which is pretty spot on to a '70 which was the only good looking year for Challenger IMO.

I thought about the challenger vs camaro for a while their, And I've decided the camaro is a better choice for one reason, It is LS based, and theirfor, The aftermarket is awesome and the engines have been proven easy hp makers.

I didnt like it until i saw it in person. I think most people who have seen it felt the same way, i know some gm guy said something about how everyone liked it a lot more in person than in pictures.
