Hate to say it but I am not liking the wheels and random blue stripe. Chrysler dealership down my street still has the three new Challenger R/T's from 2009. I thought Challengers would be a great hit but I see more Camaro's now.

I'll argue that point. Just because Ma Mopar is turning something out, doesn't mean its good. It seriously looks like a room full of ****-eyed accountants and second graders came up with the "custom" paint and trim in order to promote sales and save costs.
The new Challengers are great, but the price tag is restrictive, and they don't have enough horsepower/torque. Compared to the new Mustang/Camaro options, I (and may I be struck dead for saying this) would probably buy a new Mustang over the Challenger for sheer bang-for-your-buck factor.

Welcome Ellis. As a Chrysler employee....I gotta admit that while the Challenger is a fine car.....It is unfortunately built on the pre-existing LX platform. Ferd and Cheby were given a clean-sheet with which to start. Were it not for that compromise, the Chally wouldnt have happened at ALL! Having never driven any of them, I cant say whos best. But the Chally is a BIG car! Ferd is doing some amazing stuff with the new V6 in the Stang, and Cheby powertrains are equally impressive. Maybe with the next evolution of the LX platform we can get the weight down and solve some of the issues that came from adapting a platform that was never designed with the Chally in mind.
