As much as I love my v6^^ you are right

But the Camaro still looks better, so if speed/going fast isnt your thing then I can see why some would say this.

I would probably take the 2016 Camaro V6/i4 over a Challenger RT.

We bought a 2011 6 cyl. Challenger for my wife awhile back. Had the super sport package which makes a big difference in how those cars drive. That was a great driving car for a road trip. Got just shy of 30 mpg hiway, had plenty of power for normal driving, was comfortable, handled twisties ok, rode nice. It was bought because it was Blackberry Pearl w/twin white stripes trimmed in red, and chrome wheels.

This pic was a car cleaning day right before we got rid of it. Right after getting the Camaro.

Interesting to hear your perspective. I've never really been a Dodge fan either, but the Challenger sure is compelling. Now that the Camaro and Mustang have gotten smaller I think the Challenger really has some solid advantages for those of us who use these cars as daily drivers. It arguably has similar performance and as much style as the Camaro, but it also has a usuable back seat and trunk. My only complaint about the '16 Camaro is than the backseat and trunk opening got even smaller. In my opinion it went from marginally usefull to almost useless. I really thought they would maintain or even increase legroom. Even the new Camaro is pretty big on the outside, to me a useable rear seat should be doable. I know a lot of people think that the rear seat and trunk in a Camaro doesn't matter, but for people who drive it every day or have kids it does. Otherwise why not get a Vette?

It will be interesting to see what the next gen Challenger does. Of course with Chrysler's track record it could be a long way off if it comes as all.

Or the surface of our Camaro.

My issue isn't the size of the trunk, it's the size of the opening. I had a package one day that appeared to fit the trunk with room to spare. But I couldn't get it through the opening. Had to drop the back seat, stick it through longways, and turn it sideways back into the trunk.

So are you saying you would take the S65 V8 over the S55 turbo 6 in your M4?
