Exactly. When I sat in one, the only feeling I got was that I was in an overpriced Charger that was made bulkier, less practical, and harder to see out of. Really, they couldn't make the interior just a little unique? I love the Camaro, but there are many other cars that could pull me away for one reason or another. The Challenger was NOT one of those cars. I honestly just don't see the appeal. Heavy, clumsy, inefficient, and low quality. What is there to like?

I wonder why people always bring up the "but the Camaro gets made in a week" point? It's probably due to all the incentives being offered on the Chally right now rather than the wait period for the Camaro.

I bet we are going to have a lot more of these threads in the next few weeks since the dodge dealers know the Camaro is coming out soon. They are itching to get these things off the lots because not too many other people are buying them other than Camaro fans it seems.
