This car is missing two things, A southern flag on the roof and "01" on the doors.
I'm talking about the General Lee getting a modern and updated face lift, in otherwords, this is the original GL's offspring being the younger version for the new millenium.
Under the hood is the typical Hemi V8 with 318kw(370bhp) pushing down the highway to a topspeed of 280km's and 0-100 in 4.5seconds.
With subtle changes integrated several may go un-noticed to the naked eye, especially if viewing a simple photo you would realise that its 6inches longer than the original, and width 2inches greater with the impression on giving the car a tougher and maintain the traditional lines that people came to know and love.
Take a closer look to the signature side view accent line and notice that its now higher up on the body and runs horizontal right through the fender and door kicking out just before the rear wheel. The lines running down the car have been smoothed out greatly and considering the challenge to hold the true traditional design have done a fabulous job. The tight lines cut and drawn around the wheels give out a more aerodynamic aspect without loosing the tougher grunt look with a modern look.
The cars lines are clean to the point that there are not guards/bumpers being the same body colour and completely flush with the cars body. And with the increased length its now a better four seater but that's if you can spare the time to seat someone inthe back without just wanting to jump in and push your foot flat to the floor.

Seems they might or might not make it. Would be a shame, because like the 2005 Mustang it captures the essence of that brilliant design perfectly.
This car ROCKS. I was disappointed that it was not at the LA auto show today. They should build it. Let me reming you that the General Lee was a Charger not a Challenger.
The original Challenger I think was a pony car, akin to the Mustang and Camaro. I like this. It may be a retro design, but most people who drove these would be in their 60's now, so that means it's really a fresh design to those in their 20's or 30's.
The GL was definately a Charge and there's no disputing that but as far as this car goes, I'd excuse it for the time being as there's some fine craftmanship put into this. For the time being until they do release a new charger - the GL paint job i don to the challenger

I have to say that the orange is a remarkable colour that would look great under the bright sun
