I recently saw a pic of the new charger, cant remember where , but they were going back to the 68-69 look (as much as they could), open grille and all. Cant remember where i saw it though.
I will be in line for the challanger. I love what they did. I will give it to ford though, with the new Mustangs body style, they are getting the new gen. back into the love of muscle cars.[/quote
I saw that article to it was in the new mopar enthuseist the one you see is not the one that mopar is comming out with. I work in a mopar parts dept. and they did release an anouncment to dealers that the charger will be redesined in 2009 but they will not show the car untill the challenger is out (prolly because if they do challenger sales would be in the toilet cuz everyone would just wait till the charger comes out I know I would if it looked like the one in the article)
