Maybe GM should farm out the design of the upcoming Camaro to Daimler-Chrysler...those boys over there seem to know how to do it the way it should be...

WHy didn't they go with Kris Hortons design...is it because he's "just a kid"...and they didn't want to be shown up?
If that's all GM has to offer...Bye bye...it was nice knowing ya...

I like what GM has better than Horton's.

Chevy just out sold Ford for the first time in 19 years.
It came down to Trailblazer beating Explorer sales.
The skinny..

I like something about this style, but dont think the side glass fits with the front and rear glass at this point. I've seen Horton's rendition, and there is something of his that doesn't suit me either.

I see a bit of the new C6 in the rear of this design, and would also have to admit that the guys at Chrysler's design team seem to have the upper hand right now. There's just something about those clean old (straight) lines that Chrysler has captured in the NOS ("new old style") Challenger.

I hope someone at GM is getting this, because there is room for improvement on this design. Maybe they could straighten up some of those lines along the rear quarters and take the cartoon steroid effect out of that big &amp; tall rear end. Bring it down low like the sleek but bold challenger rear quarter would nail it down for me and send me into order a new build before they could count their pennies. That and maybe just a hint of the old Rallysport would make me wet. Failing that, they will see another old die hard line up to get a new Challenger come release date.

Man.....saying that kinda hurts

Don't forget concepts are just that concepts!!, most of the time the final design is different or based on.
