I'm waiting to see one in person before I pronounce judgement. Pictures can look better or worse than seeing a car in the sheet metal.

Looks ugly in the pictures. I will wait to see it in person in a week or so.

Even seeing vehicles at an auto show doesn't give me a true idea of how they'll look when you see one off the raised and revolving pedestal and not surrounded by crowds.

Yeah, sometimes when you see a new vehicle at an auto show, they might not be exactly as they appear when they finally hit the dealer lots. For example, I was at the NY International Auto Show when Chrysler introduced the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I remember thinking to myself that it looked really good, but it had an AWESOME stance. The wheels were pushed out flush with the body, so it looked very aggressive. Of course now the 2011 Grand Cherokee is out and it doesn't have that nice aggressive stance. They must have had wheel spacers on the Jeep at the auto show. Either that, or the wheels had a different offset. But still, my point is that the manufacturers will often do little things to really make their show cars stand out at an auto show.

That and if they are limited on how much floor space they have, they only show high-line models with lots of options. It's also difficult to find how you fit in them if power seats aren't functional.

Easy enough conversion with the Challenger sharing the same platform and engine options.
