Here is another picture of what the 2007 Dodge Charger Super Bee package looks like.

It looks like they are trying to combine the hockey stick stripe from the ‘Cuda and the Super Bee logo. The car also is equipped with a rear spoiler and backed out taillights panel.

In 2007 Dodge is planning on releasing a new Special Edition Charger and new Color. They are planning on reviving the Super Bee name and put it on the Charger. TorRed is also something new for 2007 which will add to the existing colors.

Here’s what they said:

“It was only natural to give a nod to that heritage with the re-introduction of a famous Dodge performance nameplate and a high-impact heritage paint name.”

So who knows what they will bring back next? Sublime Green, Plum Crazy Purple? Maybe we will have to wait until the Challenger to see those colors to appear on the new cars. They would probably fit better on the new Challenger anyway!

Here is what AutoBlog said: “It could happen. DaimlerChrysler staffers are being quoted as saying it would only take 18 to 24 months to get the Challenger into showrooms once management gives the go-ahead.”

As we know the Challenger got an overwhelming positive response before and after it was released at the Detroit Auto Show. The Challenger also has more going for it than because the Challenger is based off the shortened version of a platform already in production. So really there is nothing that I could think of that the Challenger has going against it!

Here is the 2006 Chrysler Imperial Concept Car!

“Like the great Imperials of Chrysler’s storied past, the 2006 Imperial concept vehicle is designed as Chrysler’s flagship, a luxury sedan that is elegant, provocative, aspirational, yet attainable.”

The Chrysler Imperial concept was based not only on classic 1930s and 1950s classic Imperial, but also to “Chrysler’s long tradition of creative concept cars, from the earlier Chrysler d’Elegance and Falcon to the more recent Chrysler Chronos and Firepower.”

Announcing the 2006 Dodge Challenger Concept.

This Dodge Challenger Concept Car was designed after the 1970 Dodge Challenger in an effort to bring back a Dodge “pony” car. You can definitely see cues from the 1970 Dodge Challenger such as the: front the hood, headlights, and what the designers are calling the “thrust line”.

A few days before the auto show Dodge released some offical pictures and press release on the Dodge Challenger. Along with the pictures and press release were these official specifications:
