Re: Saw a new Challenger
Saw an orange one at our local beach gathering last Sunday morning. Looked absolutely beautiful until an original lime green Challenger convertible with white top, white interior and bumble bee stripe pulled in. The new one is nice but at 2/3 scale it would be nicer. Its too big for my liking because I'm from the originals generation and I like smaller cars. Thats probably why it will be successful. Look at the size of the Charger (besides it having 4 doors) and the size of the new Mustang. They're nothing like the size of their originals but they're vastly successful. Just like their nostalgic owners and prospective owners (my self included). They're bloated and a bit over weight. The Crossfire can in no way be compared to the Challenger re. potential success. The Challenger will be huge because it is blatantly an American Muscle car that sells to middle America. The Crossfire was not. It aspired to play with the high end sports cars and was terribly marketed by Chrysler. The companies loss, our gain.
