That's a nice powertrain and chassis and all, but until they give up this hiked-up-beltline styling [censored] or offer a soft top convertible I'm going to consider it tremendously worse car for daily driving than, say, a 1992 Ram 150 SWB van with a V6.

With the HQ in London, and owned and produced by an Italian company, and a German gear box and last time I popped the hood which was at the NY Auto show...lots of Mercedes DNA and Bosch parts left...cough.

So it's a mutt like all Americans. And, it likely took this great land to combine those disparate parts into one awesome whole.
Nice car, can't wait to see the comparisons!

Great car, great specs, this is coming from a ford guy also.
Too bad I sold all my fords and bought toyotas, but oh well.

^^^Never too late to turn back.
VERY nice. Looks like a fun machine.
As an aside, I think it's funny how every website seems to look like Apple.com now, in the way you seamlessly scroll down through multiple "pages" of information...

The Challenger is one of the only newer cars that I actually like how it looks. Looks like an awesome car!

Pretty much, I always crack up at the "I'll only drive American crowed."

AGREED!!
That BEAST will make quick work of those skinny, all season skins.
It should have (at least as an option) some VERY wide, dry tires, (ala the new Z/28, and wheel/tire upgrades on the Vettes) in order to handle all of that power (AND weight).
