That and the challenger is targeted at a completely different audience than the camaro, its aimed at the 40+ middle to upper class that want to relive the 70's and can drop 40k on a limited "reissue".
Right, right, and right!

As for the interiors...I'm not sure I like the Challenger's, honestly. It's definitly more functional, that's for sure. But I'm not sold on the gauges - I just don't like 'em...there was a report where one of the exec's said they were going for a cyllinder-block look, you know, looking down into the cyllinders. They pulled it off, and I don't like it.
Now, the Camaro's interior looks less squared-off, and more welcoming/spacious. It also looks less plasticy then the challenger's...though that's all subject to change . Of course - I LOVE the Camaro's dual gauges up front...and I'm sold on the gauge cluster down below, love 'em! And the best part is - GM wants them to stay like that (maybe a little less flashy <billet aluminum>) but they do want them to stay in for production. I DON't like the un-useability of the hvac/stereo controls... but I could get used to it.

That's my useless $0.02!
