I say can that crap and bring us back to designs that are meant to look good in the first place.
wow...well said. who says a beautiful shape must be streamlined and super aerodynamic....the original charger and challenger are beautiful in their stance and presence, even though at the same time that gaping hole that is the front grill must be about as aerodynamic as a brick wall. but who cars! it just looks meanacing...

i don't believe that the charger is or was intended as a "retro" design. It is a modern design (a 4-door magnum sedan) with a retro name.....why they did this? who knows....but the challenger looks like it will redeem them!

also....guys guys, it's not lime green, it's SUBLIME!
