| The problem with “retro” cars is that they are enslaved by the very same past they seek to recreate. Like watching the Beach Boys sleepwalking their way through Good Vibrations for what must surely be the millionth time, looking back to your automotive roots may offer short-term comfort, but it remains a constant reminder of just how arthritic you and your automotive mojo really are. Say what you will about the gorgeous and historically accurate sculpting of Dodge’s Challenger, there’s little doubt the car is pigeonholed by the very faithfulness fans of the famed pony car proclaim. Throw in a chassis better suited to a large four-door sedan as well as an interior that looks like Chrysler’s ferocious cost cutting occurred just as the stylists were penning the dashboard and the Dodge is more retro in more ways than just silhouette. |
