As far as the Challenger goes im talkin about a 2012 or so revamping, they'll do updates here and there every year but im really just interested in the bgi picture haha, like this year they added the push-button-start as an option on R/T cars as well as SRT and they added the option to completely shut off the traction control, very nice in my oppinion, especially for people who want all those nifty features while saving the $10k from R/T to SRT
On a side note i think its funny that people always complain about the Challenger's interior, i mean look at the classic Challenger interior, not only did it look almost exactly the same as every other Chrysler sports car interior (such as the 2nd gen Charger or Barracuda) but it looks extremely similar to the current Challenger interior, they just wanted to keep with that Badass menacing attitude haha, really i like the interior i just wish for 2 things, first they need Challenger-specific gauges (be it the same cluster or not i just dont like the gauges they have) and also they should have a color-chooser thing like the Mustangs have where you can customize the back-light of the gauges and ambient lights

Well I wouldn't mind them keeping around the 4.6L for the regular GT, nothing wrong with that engine and there is a TON of aftermarket for it. That being said, it would kill the ''Camaro SS vs. Mustang GT'' comparison for Ford. It appeared as though they had a BOSS Mustang coming in a couple years which will be a middleground between the regular 400+-hp GT and the 550hp GT500.
I don't mind the challenger's interior at all, I think the Seats/Room/Shifter/door's are all top of the muscle car class. However I do think they could do more to distinguish that its the ''challenger'' instead of having to guess, just because they screwed that up in the 70's doesn't give them a bye to screw it up again today.
I'm not a huge fan of the dodge Gauges but I can tell you (through Charger rental car experience) that they do grow on you. That said it would be great if they could spice it up without going too over the top like imo they might have done with the Camaro.
The problem I have with the Challenger... is that you get a car that isn't any faster, is a little nicer, but a lot more expensive than a Camaro for around 10k more..... Where is that money going?
