I'm far from convinced the Challenger is better looking than the Camaro!.

For one, the roof line of the new Camaro looks waaaay more sleek and sinister...the new Challenger almost has a first gen Camaro roof/C-pillar look plus the way they've given it the low slabbed front/rear has taken a lot away from the original E-car's side profile missle-like styling?.

And I'm already tired of the new Challenger's side accent line too...not sharp enough like the original E-cars had and somehow almost reminicent of the 70's R/R Corniche sideline?.

GM's way of reverse styling to uglier looking trim parts that get changed to the real design's better looking parts after everyone buys the first year cars seems to be happening too...like the S10 looking grille, when's the '69 style R/S nose come out?.

The only thing cool about the new Camaro is the console gauges.

The Challenger wins in styling hands down. Both Ford and Chrysler are getting it right. GM.... not so much.

Dan,
Do you have any pictures of the Black Challenger? One of my co-workers has a Black one on order but hasn't been able to find any photos.

I like the look of the new Challenger but its a little too rounded to me. I prefer sharper lines.
So I also like the Camaro, I think it looks very retro, sharp and sleek.
It would be pretty awesome to see both at a stoplight

Ouch. That car hurts me. What a beastly beauty! Two things:

1. Shaker Hood (or T/A hood as a suitable substitute)
2. Billboards in dark gray or red ...."HEMI"

Looks like it got chopped short in the rear and the lower body line is just plain flat with no character. The retro Mustang also has a very flat body line which doesn't look right. It might be the lack of lower body molding the throws off the lines but it doesn't come as close to the original as the first prototype did.

I like them both... Will the Camaro be a 40+ grand car too? If so they might as well forget about it.
