Now, they're finally putting in great engines. The V6 is due for the Pentastar 3.6 upgrade (if it hasn't already happened) and a 6-speed auto. The interior is/will be revamped. Can't wait to see a new NEW challenger in action  |
The Challengers interior is actually inspired by the origional. It is actual unique save corporate parts like the stereo and climate control switches. the Dash, center console, seats, etc, etc are unique to the Challenger and looking at Charger and Challenger''s interiors side by side you can tell they are way different. Also when the 09 v6 came out in early 08 the only competition was a Mustang with a 210HP V6 so it WAS competitive. for 10 the Mustang at that same engine and the Camaro was the only one with an updated engine, given it was totally brand new car. Only for the 11 model year did the Mustang get the 300+ hp 3.7 V6 and all 11 Challenger V6s have their the new 305 HP pentastar.
