Wow, they just keep making that thing uglier. Now you can have a $50,000+ SRT edition that looks just like a $14,000 Dodge Dart.

Every car that does that black center bumper treatment (Audi, then Hyundai, then everyone else) get an automatic "yech, pass" from me.
I hate it. They killed the hood and fender lines that made the car unique. And slapping the Dart front end on it was the final straw.
I like it just fine, but I liked the 2011-14 model too.
But seriously guys... the new 2015 Challenger....
That's it, I'm buying one.

THIS. Oh, my Bob, THIS. It's just awful, on every car it's ever been done to.

Yeah the face lift on the Challenger is amazing. High on my list of must get cars particularly if the hellcat comes through.

i dig the new taillights too
To me it also looks very "stuck on", like someone grafted a nose off a completely different car. It's just awkward.
I never was too keen on Charger styling to begin with, but at least it was cohesive before.
The "new" Challenger on the other hand looks excellent.
That challenger does look pretty amazing. Too bad I once made the mistake of driving one. Dont get me wrong, It seemed powerful, very stable, and decent handling...for a truck.

Is it just me, or does it look a bit like the 2015 Mustang?
The Challenger's new nose and tail look good (I honestly can't tell the new nose from the old one, though) but the car is just so thick throughout the body. Section it 4-5 inches and I'd be more interested.

Disagree to a very great extent.
One thing I cannot wait for, however, is for car designers to get a handle on LED headlights. 99% of them are either stupid-looking or outright hideous.

Oddly enough, thats what the old ones felt like too.......

I already liked the Challenger, this update makes me like it more.

As a previous owner of both a 1969 440 Charger and a 1973 340 Challenger, I can honestly say that while cool, they were really horrible cars compared to pretty much anything available now.
It seems like someone in marketing said "the Dart is selling poorly, if we make the Charger look like the dart then people will notice the Dart and we'll sell more!" My suspicion is that people will buy fewer Chargers instead of more Darts.
Now the Challenger, that looks yummy.

That would be a '70-74 Challenger.

I think they both look great, new or old. My distaste for unnecessarily heavy cars aside, I wouldn't kick a challenger out of my garage.
