    I just wish they had really used a 70 and not a 73 or whatever year had the big bumper guards.

    Good call, I didn't even look, I just looked at the overall photo. That's pretty bad. Not as bad as the Detroit Auto Show on ESPN I saw 3-4 days ago. They had the 08 Challenger review, all about the car etc. The showed a few Challengers then they started talking about prices and said an original will set you back "this" much and when they said that they showed a 2nd Gen Charger LOL Idiots.......

    It's a '74.  That photo is my wallpaper at work, minus the numbers in the background.

    They should have used a classic Challenger that EXACTLY resembles the new one next to it:

    - 70' model

    - No vinyl top

    - Quick filler gas cap

    - black rear spoiler

    - no bumber quards


    ...but the overall idea is nice.

    It does show the relative "chunkiness" of the new Challenger compared to the considerably more svelte E-body car.

    They shouldn't compare the two side by side.  I truly shows how less attractive the new one is against the old.

    I've now seen a few magazines who have the same photo but changed it to 1974.  :swaying:

     :iagree:  Chunky is a good word to describe the new Challenger.  Nice car, but chunky.  Our older cars looks soooo "sexy" next to a new one, just love the curves and the body line.  :grinyes:

    Agreed...chunky!  And the wheels are too distracting.  Way too big.  They should compliment the car not overwhelm it.  Guess I'm old school.   :)
