I'll be honest, I love the styling of the Challenger, and Dodge's decision to make it such a porker brings tears to my eyes (not because of the safety features as much as the huge platform they chose to build it on), and the fact that I can spend less money and get a faster car with a non-boring interior doesn't bode well for the Challenger; especially not in a market that's all about speed and good looks for cheap.

umm...Sorry to burst your bubble but the new RT will certainly not go 0-60 in 6 seconds how can you know this it hasn't even been tested. The old RT does it in 5.8 regulary. The new ones will in my estimation do -60 in 5.4 or 5.3 and with a few mods 5.1. You guys underestimate the power of these cars. Yes it is a pig, just like the new camaro is weighting in at a hefty 3900+ lbs with the SS automatic. They are both pigs but they are fast pigs.
Oh and the mustang's interior isn't that great either. Look at the new RT seats with the ripples in them. IMO I would much rather have a better exterior than interior. Since when have muscle car interiors looked good? That is what modding is for.
