[Shotimes] Re: OT New Camaro just slightly retro

[Jim & Debbie Leyden]

The Challenger was Barracuda sized.  The Charger was GTX/Road Runner size
and a much larger car.  But I agree that the Charger is a major
disappointment considering what it used to be.

Agree with you there on the Challenger, but here's my
beef...

That, IMNSHO ladies and gents, is what the Charger
should be. I thought the Challenger was the bigger car
back in the day (sorry for all you old
timers...*wink). So why did they (Dodge) destroy the
Charger name by putting it on a fugly 4 door overgrown
over-rated 300M painted red while the Challenger looks
like an actual '60s heavy metal muscle car?!?!?!?!

Rant over. Sorry...
