Why is it all the new muscle cars have that over-sized side appearance. I think it is cool that all the old cars are reappearing just don't care for the tall sides.

Side stripes will do wonders for the "big-sided" look. Not sure why the Challenger has not offered the classic "R/T" side stripes yet. They are killer and retro at the same time!!!!!

I think I like it. However, the color renderings they have on the web site are not even close to what I’ve seen in person. They need to show actual cars painted in actual paint instead on computer generated cars. I didn’t see the “Hugger Orange Pearl” tri-coat listed as an available color. That’s the coolest color of all.

They do look oversized to me also? My theory is that they are trying to capture the 60s exterior style while still providing enough interior space and at the same time integrating todays safety features? Just a thought? And why they are all coming in at around 4000 pounds is another big question for me?

I haven't seen the new Camaro in person yet, but my Son and I stopped to look at one of the limited production SRT Challengers yesterday and we loved it! I've never owned a Mopar, but I would consider that car for an everyday driver in a heartbeat

I'd like a 2012 Inferno Orange Metallic or Red Jewel Tint Clearcoat convertible.

I'd also like a 2012 Hemi Orange Challenger.

Gonna have to make a tough decision in 2012.
