Just because it doesn't look like old school MOPAR doesn't mean it looks ugly, you dummies. It means it looks different, and probably that your age is showing.
I guarantee that (assuming they last long enough) millenials will lament the awful look of sportscars in about 30 years, will be pining for the "golden age" of the 2000's and 2010's.
And my grandkids will no doubt think of your vaunted hemis the same way I look at a model T. They'll probably think it performs about as well, too.
Uh, no. Age has nothing to do with this, other than the older folks get the chance to own one of those really good looking versions of the name sakes.
Look, they paid proper homage to the original Challenger. Go look at a 69 Charger. Do you really think the new Charger looks better than a Charger could have looked if they drew from the 69 model? Use your imagination. Chrysler dropped the ball in a big way.
There are cars which transcend all ages. They are called classics. When a company pays proper homage to those cars, it is magic. Yes, us old folks have a memory of those old cars and all of us would like to see proper homage paid to them.
Regardless of the names used, the new Charger and this new propose Cuda are both butt ugly cars, as far as I am concerned. They are boring to look at. The lines and proportions wreak of something my Grandmother would use to go get the groceries, at night, so she would not be seen in it.
