351CJ said:That is if you call driving a car (the Challenger) that is 10" longer, 8" wider, 3" taller and weights 600lb, more than a 05/06 Mustang, will probably cost $8K more and not have any more interior room having your cake and eating it too.
66Satellite said:I suspect the Challenger will have a bigger/more useable back seat and a much bigger trunk than the Mustang.
i agree, the back seat looks small in this shot.351CJ said:From this photo, the back seat in the Challenger does not look any more useful than the Mustang's back seat:
its gonna be just another challenger soon.srothfuss said:It will be larger than the Mustang... It will cost more, but it would be nice to drive around town in a pony car (new off the showroom floor) that isn't just another mustang. Not that I am anti Mustang, but I am pro-competition.

351CJ said:Yes on the outside the Challenger is a lot larger than a Mustang, 10" longer, 8" wider. 3" taller. It also has much longer overhangs than the Mustang, especially in front. So far it doesn't look like the interior is significantly larger than the Mustang. And it will weigh 600 - 700 lb more than a Mustang GT.
The point is the market for a HUGE, HEAVY car that only comfortably seats 2 people and gets horrible gas mileage is very limited. If DCX does bring out a new Challenger, my prediction is that it will have a very short production run (just like the original Challenger) because no matter how cool the new Challenger looks ( I admit it does look real slick ) the market for such a car is very limited, especialy with gas prices where they are.
66Satellite said:I agree that if it doesn't end up having a useable back seat it won't last long. Every die hard Mopar guy will buy one but then it will be over. However, if it has a decent back seat and they can keep the price down it might do fairly well. And the 250HP V6 gets half-decent mileage. I still think they screwed up big time by not making a two door Charger. Oh well...
351CJ said:A V6 Challenger will be a complete sales flop.
66Satellite said:I dunno. I've been surprised how many folks on my classic Mopar board are saying they just want the cheapest manual V6 for a daily driver type car--assuming it comes in at low 20s. I think the V6 Mustang maybe has a stigma from the rental fleets. A slightly more sophisticated V6 car could do well (remember, it has IRS, lol).
