I also owned a Cuda...so Dodge and their retro car is also pretty cool.

I must say...I am slightly disturbed and I have been noticing something as these photos keep popping up. Gas cap location and small things are starting to bother me.

It seems as though the body styling and aggressive nature of the concept is being "SMOOTHED" out and blended way too much.

In the 1st rear picture depicting the back fender area. It looks to be rolled smooth from the top of the wheel well to the top of the fender line as compared to the prototype. I was looking for more of a "drag" or "pro street" looking fender well. A back fender, that when you look at it "you know it can handle some meaty wrinkle wall slicks".

This seems to be kind of "grandma-ized". My opinion. Do any of you see it???

You all know what I am talking about when I say "Pro Street" right?

YES, YES AND YES!

I've made many posts pointing out the same thing. You are 100% correct...the concept which looked mean and wide no longer looks that way in these preproduction photos.

"grandma-ized" is right.

It's looking more like any other production vehicle. Very disappointing!
