Looks like a Neon with a facelift... Atleast put a badass turbocharged 4cyl in it.

If they brought back the Chevelle it will have to PERFECT! i know there is no such thing as a perfect car but you cant ruin the name of the Chevelle!!

I dont see why people talk so bad about the challenger I think they actually did something right to me its a beautiful car with a new retro look it looks alot better then have the other BS they try to bring back!

Because the challenger weighs as much as a tank, and although they have a nice power plant under the hood it doesn't put out enough power to move all that weight as fast as the Camaro and Mustang. Ford really stepped up and made themselves known by bringing back the 5.0 and now they are putting a 5.8L in their GT500?!? **** the 2011 GT500 could already beat the ZL1 straight up, they just want to slaughter the hell out of the competition...
Whoops kinda went off topic a lil :P

The grill and headlights look aggressive. But the rest of the car just looks blah. Looks like any other 10 year old import you'd find in the mall parking lot.

Looks like the design department designed the front clip, and then gave up.

It's like all Dodge was thinking was "Hey let's make a comeback by bringing back the Dart but build it on the same platform as the Neon only call it the Dart and put a small economy engine in it with a continuously variable transmission in it!
CVT transmission is a horrible transmission I wish all of them would ignite into flames, without the drivers in them of course.
