Can you realy call that an interior shot?

For the life of me, why do car companies still put CD players in cars? It was bad enough when car companies held onto cassette players for as long as they did.

that interior is hideous! The interior looks like it should have come from an econobox. This car better start at 16K, because that interior is el cheapo.

Looks cheap, like the rest of their interiors.

They will sell every one they can make…Go Chrysler!!!

I think it actually looks kind of nice. The air vents could use some more pizazz but the radio and HVAC controls look nice in my opinion. Its very simple, isnt that how muscle car interiors were back in the day?

Look boring as the exterior

What do you bitches expect? gold plating?
i think its cool, can’t wait to see the rest.

Looks inexpensive to build.

Any chrysler owners out there know if that stereo is 1 1/2 or 2 DIN? I think Chrysler uses the 1 1/2 so you can’t use an aftermarket 2 din DVD/Nav system. And it looks like they’re doing it again, this is why Chevy always wins the SEMA awards. I hate loving you Chrysler!!!

once again they seem to screw up the interior.

F451: Why put CD players in cars anymore? I can’t tell if this is a joke or not… are you kidding?

The new faceplates are a non standard size so you will either need a retractable/flip up screen or a stand alone unit

“Unfortunately, it looks like Chrysler delved pretty deep into the company parts bin to create the Challengers interior.”

Is this me just being fussy, or are we not the ones who should express the opinions rather than LLN?

TBP, not kidding, as USB ports are better and with flash drives increasing in capacity it is the way to go. No need for CDs any longer. I do not need DVDs in vehicles either (Mindless entertainment…blah! Who needs it!?). Hell, my washer, and dryer have computer ports on them (Miele).

agreed, who cares about interiors anyways?

CD players lol…I don’t even use mine. When you have an iPod hookup, just select a playlist and let it rip.

=D

Oh and stop bitching about the interior. it’s a muscle car, not a Mercedes S class or a Rolls.

Oh come on, it’s the same as every other LX/LY platform car, with minor tweaks.

Single CD players still make sense; a lot of people still listen to CDs, believe it or not. But I think CD changes will be on the way out, in favor of a single CD player which rips to an in-dash hard drive. Before long, I suspect that’ll become the norm.

@johnnycat: Exactly, so what was everyone expecting?

What people have issue with is that the concept interior was driver-centric with its driver canted floor console, double-throw toggle like switches, and asymmetrical instrument cluster. These all add to the driver’s experience. Now, it simply made for left or right hand drivers dash setup designed by Turd Interiors.

so far so good, i prefer this than the alien looking interior of the camaro. camaro is cool but ‘o9 challenger RT for me.

The release of the Challenger will be disappointing in many ways, too bland for today’s world. This one looks like the Nadelli Exec Edition with its bland interior.

Wow. That center console is plain and boring. You have to give customers better than that for a vehicle over $37000. If this was a $12000 econobox that interior might fly.

Man that looks cheap. They need to get with the program so they don’t have to do another “emergency redesign” like the Sebring and Avenger. Here’s a refresher…

You know i like minimal but this being 2008 I was expecting the interior to look a bit more…..Intergrated?……

The view I’m seeing now looks like a mini-van with some sparkle on the shifter

Hmm well the shifter looks really cool? I thought the first SRT-8’s that were coming out were supposed to be autos? Hmm well the interior is… typical Chrysler… But I mean it is the Challenger so if performance is what you want then performance is what you get.

As opposed to what everyone else is saying I like the interior of the Camaro. I like how the speedo and odo are separated by Chrome square windows, and I especially like how the water temp, oil temp/pressure, and electricity guages are separated from the instrument panel and located down and in front of the shifter but that’s just me….

I still like the Challenger and the interior won’t matter to me.

This is the interior for their supercool muscle car for the 21st century? Apart from the fact that it looks cheap beyond belief, the design theme itself is awful! Looks striaght out of a mid nineties Japanese hatchback. Just what are they thinking???

Camaro and Mustang can sleep soundly tonight..

Seriously underwhelming.

That is one hell of a boring interior.

To me though, this is more than just an enthusiastic project done by Chrysler. To me, this reflects the evolution of Chrysler since their purchase by Cerberus, and to me reflects how Chrysler will do in the future. Chrysler can’t manage to make this product crap, like they’ve done with virtually all their current models, save the 300 and minivans. A lot of Chrysler’s future rides on this car, the upcoming Ram and redesigns of their interiors. Honestly, that’s what their reputation, their profits, their whole business is riding on, and this will reflect Chrysler new colors.

Chrysler has no room to make this a modest product. It’s a road to ruin, and it’s very likely theres no turning back, and this product will very much so determine that.

The best part of the interior is the ignition on the dash like the old muscle cars… awesome.

Wow, it’s a time warp back to 1992.

look cheap!!!!

LMAO. I bet that retard who paid $18,000 on ebay for the right to buy a new Challenger is kicking his own ass up and down the street right now.

Not sure if that manual stick is comfortable to use in real life…

Yeah I was silently thinking that to myself Veda, It almost looks as if it’s meant to be gripped from the side like a lever as opposed to being grabbed from on top and fitting inside the palm of your hand…

Actually 1966_GTO_ I was looking at shots of some 69 Mustangs, and 69 Chevelle’s and they actually do have the ignition mounted in the dash, so I don’t know about the GTO’s and Chargers and Challengers, I’m going to look but yeah do a google search and I’m seeing plenty of the old cars with ignitions mounted in the dash.

F451: the new McLaren roadster has a tape deck.
WOOKIE62: “They will sell every one they can make.” You’re really going out on a limb, are you?

cwwilson: i gotta get an iPod now.
