The text that goes with the pics in the first post reads:

To all those purists who still can’t forgive Dodge for building a four-door Charger, here’s your answer: the 2006 Dodge Challenger concept. The Dodge boys released a sketch of the car to the world, but we obtained these exclusive spy photos of the car, which will premiere at the North American International Auto Show in January in Detroit.

That engine is from the Charger SRT8 which is retailing around 32k??  13 sec 1/4 mile off the showroom floor...still ugly as sin tough.
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

I agree, why can't they leave the past in the past and just move on.  When companies are only dredging up old models and revamping them it's a sign of a lack of creativity.  Come out with a new model with a new name, just don't be a dumb ass like gm and use a line like "the first G6!".  No kiddin?  The first G6?  Wow, kinda like the FIRST EVERY OTHER CAR THAT WAS EVER BUILT !!

I dunno, I've seen some pretty crappy new names for cars :yupyup:

lets see, there is the Tuscon, when are they gonna come out with a houston?

or how about the new infiniti (I think) SUV?  It's called the cayenne.  Isn't that a seasoning?
