Miami sucks, we need a bigger auto show.

 

wow, a picture they dont want to be seen leaks out and the brass is all over it. But stories of people getting screwed by the dealer pop up a random times and GMs to big to respond.

 

it looks like two cars snapped together... the driver's side foglamp is differant from the passenger side.. look at how the lower spoiler is lipped on passenger side and not so much on driver's side... and.. it is on stands... i really want to see the other side of that dang car.


and it's a pretty panther..!
and I like the driver's side a lil more than I like the passenger side (of nose cone)
the grill area looks more open for air flow... yet I like the way the lower front trim wraps around to line up with body line like the 80's models.

 

the pictures are of a clay car. they did 2 slightly different designs.

 

ok.. just saw the pics and must say that they need to keep with the non recessed lights. I prefer the more aerodynamic headlights like the on my 2002 or on the latest C6..

also i am not a fan of the larger wheels these days... gimme 16" wheels and I will be happy.

 

Man it soooooo would have been nice if we could have gotten a lil contest to see who photoshops the 2009 clay to look the most like what the actual car will look like... I started ripping into the moment I saw the pic.. and now.... no one can hang my images.

 

I am glad that someone else feels that way.

 

I remember the days about 10 years or so ago when 17" wheels where considered large. With the new body styles that auto companies have to use to compete with other car companies designs, 16" wheels would not match the body style at all. It would look bizarre.

The wheels in the concept image are 22" in the back and 20" in the front if I am not mistaken, but always keep in mind that the car is a concept of sorts.

 

agreed. they shouldnt worry so much about hte diameter. 17-18 would be enought. they should just give us some wicked wide tires. like 10" like the vette.

 

Still no pics in my email...its all gravy, I'll take the REAL Dodge Challenger over some fictional CLAY Camaro anyways.

And dont worry, car guys, Dodge isn't likely to try and bully anyone into removing these pictures...THEY WANT TO SELL CARS.

 

there is a big difference between intentionally released photos of a complete concept car and illegally stolen photos of an early incompletely clay model

i don't blame GM for not wanting those photos around (by the way, they are still out there if you look hard enough)

how hard is it to wait a couple of weeks to see the real concept car instead of wanting emails of some clay model?..

i don't see how dodge releasing photos a couple weeks ahead of time is gonna help sales.. considering neither of these cars are gonna be fore sale for a couple years or so and by that time who cares about leaked pictures etc. you'll be able to see the real cars in person, that's what counts

 

Hey, they showed the pics with the LS1 tech watermark on channel 4's "sneak pic into NAIAS"

 

channel 4?

what is channel 4?

that said... they are still out on the internet too... there really is no way to suppress something once it get's on the internet, even for only a minute

 

one of the local detroit stations, JDebler will know it

 

ahh. Detroit.. did a little research, your local NBC affiliate.. like my channel 5

anyway.. kinda surprising they would show that on TV, considering they were stolen property and all.. i wonder if GM is going to go after them
