Cars going back to the 60's & 70's?

That challenger is the only decent looking one yet, all the other ones are realy ugly.

I personally don't care much for all this retro styling that american car makers are doing... to me it just shows that they're running out of ideas of ways to compete with foreign manufacturers. but that's just my 2 cents.

Yeah, That's more like it. Now it needs the 425hp Hemi and a $35000 sticker.

So you read the article in the latest Car and Driver mag then, huh? They had a good write up on it. I like the styling that they did with it. Much better than the new Charger.

I'm still waiting for a redo of the 1978 King Cobra, or a 1974 Hornet. Those were some hot styles.

That Challenger is way better looking than the Charger. I was hoping the Charger would look badass and all, then I found out it was more like a family car. It would be nice to see some old styles come back. I just hope they dont screw it up.

After working on several Chrysler products I came to this realization. Mopar's engineers had never in fact left the 70's.

Re: Cars going back to the 60's & 70's?
I think that the retro styling is 1 thing that might help save american auto manufacturers, instead of copying everything everyone else is doing, and making just plain ugly vehicles... The new corvette is the only new american vehicle that is an original design that looks damn good. The mustang looks good, and that challenger looks real good, but thats going back to the old school... but everybody likes those bodys so why not right?
