Supercar Messi - 1163

Just when I thought Detroit was shaping up (GM is making great cars), here's another reminder that they're still stuck on the idea of platform sharing. The Challenger's exterior has a bold, aggressive, retro style, and the concept car had an interior to match. In the production version, however, they've used that awful steering wheel from the Charger and grey plastic from a Durango. The only thing "retro" about the interior is the guages. They should've done what Ford did with the mustang. The steering wheel should be small and fat, the pedals should be brushed Aluminum (instead of that rubber), the shifter should be reminiscent of a Hurst (even though it's automatic). How can I consider this a serious musclecar when it's dressed like a boring family sedan?

You may not have noticed, but Detroit is in a crisis right now. The big three are up against some serious comp from the far east and the sagging sales will attest to that. There are only so many layoffs a company can do. The interior is shared to cut costs, plain and simple. For reasons unbeknownst to me, Dodge is under the impression that no will care about the interior.
Optimism renders you oblivious to the obvious.

I thought the same thing. this interior is terriable for this car. yes detroit is doing bad, i live here and am in the auto field. But that is no excuse, look at the new camaro, there interior matches the outside. they didnt just take random parts from every other car and pretend like no one will notice. dodge is lazy and i am tired of it.

Economists, car enthusiasts, and car magazines alike all seem to think Chrysler is the least likely to survive. but they merged with Fiat, so we'll see..... I don't think Fiat builds very reliable/quality cars either =/
