Dodge unveiled the Challenger R/T and SE at the New York Auto Show last week. It looks awesome and I've got my eye on a blue R/T. Was anyone there to see it? Here's some pics and info from Autoblog - Autoblog Post

I dislike the color.

They're nice but I prefer the SRT-8

It's not like they only come in blue!Originally Posted by ccj457
Me too, but having a R/T badge on your car is definitely nice. It has a lot of history behind it...

A shame it's too big, but I have to say I quite like it.
If I lived there, a manual V8 (whichever of the two) would be nice.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.

I actually like that blue alot more than that hideous red on the unveiled R/T. Yuck. They should have gone with a darker metallic red. That bright red just makes the body lines look hideous IMO.

Interesting contrast ..

wow, that is interesting... is the two sets the two engine options?

seems to be a bad tune for the challenger? as in, it's all over the place, spikes and dips etc

No, that dynograph is for a Charger R/T. If I read the article correctly, the Challenger R/T's will be getting a more aggressive tune/setup than the current Chargers. The manuals are getting 370ish Hp.......as opposed to the Charger's current 345 Hp.

Well the higher the hp is the less likly the graph is to be drawn rule.
Im wondering when their is going to be a factory 400+ hp version both the vette and mustang have them charger is due for one I think.
Lifts heavy things and hits hard......also eats as much as 2/3 people and sleeps 10 hours a day!

Ummm......there already is a 400+hp Charger: the SRT8. Same with the Challenger. SRT8 version was revealed before the SE and RT models were.

So what was the point of this model then? Bridge the gap?

Depends on what you mean. I'll just clarify fully. The Charger and the Challenger or not the same car......but are built on the same platform. The 4 door Charger has been on the market since 2006, the Challenger is a 2 door coupe that will coming into production this year. Both cars will be offered in 3 trims:
SE: a 6 cyl model which will probably be the mass sellers
R/T: for those who want V8 performance without paying too much
SRT8: for those who want the top of the line performance trim (bigger V8, better brakes, sportier suspension).

Why are we going backwards with car styling?
We cannot be stuck in an era or be fixated on one car forever.
