The cues are all there, and people who care would know what it was even without badges (ignore the people from the "What is the stupidest thing people have said about your Camaro thread) yet you wouldn't mistake it for being anything other than a 2010 model either. The Challenger, on the other hand, shows zero originality or modernity. It looks stuck in the past. The Camaro aged well, with confidence, knowing it was great in the past, and is still great now. The Challenger, on the other hand, is Uncle Rico.
I total respect that, but to me copy means bring back chrome bumper, door handle and such. I like the fact that the Challenger brings back the classic style and yes is more like the original then the Camaro for sure. Some of my friends like that fact other could care less. It really doesn't bother me as much, but I total respect your opinion even if we differ.
