Awesome! American Carmaker Poops Out Another Retro Design
In yet another example the American car industry's new fad-not coming up with any new ideas-DaimlerChrysler has pooped out a "Weren't the 70's Way Groovy?" Dodge Challenger concept car for the Detroit autoshow. Using very expensive German time traveling technology, the American designers traveled back in time to essentially copy the 1970 Dodge Challenger muscle car.As a nod to 70's nostalgia, they have also included a 6.1 liter hemi V8, which delivers "disco inferno" sub-20 MPG gas mileage.
Should the car go into production, it will join the Dodge Charger, Chrysler 300C, Dodge Magnum, PT Cruiser & HHR clone, Ford Mustang, and the Ford GT, all products of the retro craze. All we need now is a "blast from the past" fuel crisis. Oh, wait...
