Well, I got a chance to see it as well. I do like the design, it's classic. Absolutely loved the color! It is quite big tough. I sat in a 300 and tried to imagine what it would be like. I couldn't picture it feeling right.
Mustang was definitely better than it's previous iterations, but still not quite there. I did admire the engine compartment though. Spark plugs...sooo easy to get to!
It's a funny thing at an auto show. I saw all these wonderful cars and got a chance to pick over them, but at the end I was happy to be going back to the Camaro.

The concept Challenger is a true muscle car in every way from the exterior design to the gauges. I am probably one of the few who thinks the size is perfect. My '79 T/A is 198in long and so is the concept . The 2nd gen was my favorite iteration of the Trans Am. I would love to see an SRT-8 version. It will be interesting to see it in production. It is likely that it that it will only be offered in an automatic. If so, I will probably pass.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

i love the interior though...very modern, but old school black. It's growing on me. I just hope the new Camaro can answer the calling.
It's really not that big...considering our cars hover around 191 inches long. What's another 6-7 inches? At least the wheel base shortens the overhangs. I'm intrested on how heavy it is...it looks to be around 3700+ lbs
