I would say performance and cost (MSRP/MPG) are both clear and objective advantages for GM but I think we agree overall. IMO Dodge did well to position the Challenger as something of a niche/low volume vehicle, and I think they made the right choice (for Dodge) on a boring but somewhat nice interior and getting it launched quickly for initial low volume high markup profits. The economy in general already has Dodge offering big discounts on the Challengers, making it so they have real competition between the crazy expensive GT500 and the somewhat slow Mustang GT will hurt.

GM isn't quite so retro/muscle as Chrysler and their hemi obsession but that's just crazy. The two most cross-shopped cars with the Camaro will surely be the Mustang and Challenger.
