New Plymouth GTX.....Really?

[MoparDanMan]

I received this article on my phone this morning. Some artist's idea of what a GTX would look like. He made some cosmetic changes to a Challenger. The car looks good but why a GTX? As we all know the GTX was a B body and the Challenger is/was an E body. What do you think?

That website just comes out with a bunch of computer generated "what-if" cars by some nobody. I get them on my cell phone all the time. Honestly, that website just isn't worth the click.

From the article.....

"Rendering master wb.artist20 is known for having a firm grasp on what it takes to modernize a classic."

Ya, it's not but every now and then someone comes out with a rendering that make you think "what if?". Not like when Dodge came out with a 4 door "Charger" that makes you think "WTF?"

The Challenger was/is an E body?
Was, yes. Is, no.
It's now on the LA platform.
Would ya believe in the late 70s it was a rebadged Mitsubishi?

Why would they increase costs to build the same car with a different name?

If Dodge had went a different direction and came out with the Challenger as a Charger (2 door) in 08, I think we would be taking differently today. My disagreement is a Dodge crossing over into Plymouth territory. Chrysler chose to drop the Plymouth line and I don't think you can make a Dodge into a Plymouth. JMO.

I don't care what you call it - it's ******* hideous.

If you all remember back in the late 70s early eighties. The Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Saporo. That was the start of the junk.

Ya but at least it was a 2 door.

I like the grill
BUT;

IMO it just looks too much like the Modern Challenger platform

 

[kiwigtx]

The GTX should be remembered for what it was....same as the name Plymouth.

Both were legendary. Don't tinker with legends.

It still is.

Leave the challenger alone it looks fine start fresh before you mess up something that still sells well

and the next go around it will be named. The D100, with a Daytona wing.
