Unlike the Charger, the Challenger will be a two-door car, according to the report. That would put it in direct competition with the recently redesigned Ford Mustang and the Pontiac GTO.

They say 2-DOOR now but wait until little TREVOR gets his hand on it. :pissed: :gripe:  :spank:   Remember, there's no market for a 2-DOOR car.

If it looks anything like the Charger below, I'm gonna be sick..... :ack: That 'look' is getting way too overdone what with us already having the Magnum and 300's.

However,the sketch from MotorTrend looks very nice....

Credit to Wrencher for providing both pictures.

I agree that we need a certain amount of skepticism.  But it's hard for me to believe that DCX and GM would sit idly by without producing some competition for the Mustang.  History repeats itself, haven't they learned anything yet???

well, IF they do make a 2-door Hemi Chally, and do a nice 'retro' job on the body, it's safe to say it'll sell WELL!  How many of us on this board alone would...'ahem'..."pony" up the dough??  (sorry)

In this month's Hot Rod (a good, Mopar filled issue, btw) it is stated that an additional 80,000 Mustangs will be made this year over last year to keep up with the demand.

Altho most of the 195,000 Mustangs sold are 6-cylinder cars, there is a staggering increase in 'vert and GT sales.

Time for DC to take a slice of the pie.

I called the Dodge Information Center 1-800-4ADodge/1-800-423-6343  -  the rep couldnt tell me anything -  I took him to the Autoweek article-  he said DC hasnt "given them anything offical" yet
