Three.

LOL at the terrible CGI Chevy Volt at 2:18 (and the terrible CGI GT-R crash at 2:35). Also LOL at the acting.

I actually watched this a while back. The whole thing’s on YouTube.

The definition of a “muscle car” is pretty vague, but I’ve read a lot of versions, and very few of them specify the engine. Many say “most have V8s” but nowhere does it say that the power plant defines a muscle car. One article even claimed the V6 Honda Accord fits the definition. While I’m not sure I agree with that,

“An EV will never be a muscle car” (ignoring the fact that most of the best muscle cars on the market are already EVs)

I do love the 2013 taillights as well.

Sadly, you’re absolutely right. Unless there’s a drastic shift in the industry, I don’t see basic cars coming back anytime soon. They probably wouldn’t sell well anyway - a lot of us on this site would love them, but it’s a lot easier to grab the public’s attention with ceiling touchscreens (I don’t know if that’s a

I love the looks of the Challenger, inside and out, but I don’t think I could live with the gas mileage... or, honestly, the size. I live in a city with a lot of very small parking lots, where a lot of the spaces are just barely big enough for my Leaf. There are one or two local Challengers, but I imagine they must

No need. It still looks fantastic. I hope they keep as much of the styling as possible, even if they update the platform in the future.

I would adore that so much. Take the same styling, shrink it down by about 20%, give it an EV powertrain option and it’d be brilliant.

21st century Mustang styling peaked with the 2005-2009 generation. It’s been downhill since then.

They really did get the styling just about perfect. The only other retro-modern muscle car that’s in the same league was the 2005-09 S197 Mustang, and that got restyled after just 4 years. The 2010+ wasn’t a bad looking car, but it got all modern and angsty and lost that simple, elegant retro look that the Challenger

Precisely. I really wish they’d make an electric one, but keep the simple interface and driving experience. Warning: rant ahead.

What bothers me is that all the electric cars are so focused on autonomy and being loaded down with gadgets. Why can’t they make what is essentially a Challenger EV - an electric car that’s just A Car, not a rolling Apple store that bricks itself because of a software bug?

I like both. We’ve revived cool exterior colors, now let’s do cool interior colors. If we’re all stuck driving crossovers in the future, at least let them be whimsical, colorful crossovers.

GM doesn’t make any cool EVs. All they have now is the Bolt, which looks like a baby minivan (and is FWD). Not very NASCAR.

Ironically, I’ve always considered myself a Ford person, but the three cars I’ve daily driven have been a Dodge, a Saturn and a Nissan.

What? Sure, I like Camaros! Don’t look at my picture or my username.

I’ll wait until I see it again before forming a full opinion. On the whole, I enjoyed the movie and I thought the ending on Tatooine was really well done, but the kiss felt very random, like a page of script from a very different (and much campier) movie accidentally found its way in.
