Agree, I don't know why the Challenger was left out of an interior fresh-up when all the other Chrysler did. (Anyone inside Chrysler fill me in.)bumonbox said:Seems like a fair assessment. I will say, the Challenger would definitely benefit from some upgrades.
It's coming... Changing over the entire electrical system two and a half years into the production run wasn't the most cost effective thing to do.Jose Santos said:Agree, I don't know why the Challenger was left out of an interior fresh-up when all the other Chrysler did.

Indeed, the 11's were a BIG upgrade over the 10s. Drive a 10 and 11 back to back and the differences are immediately apparent and pretty astonishing actually...It's coming...

Additionally, a lot of little things were updated inside the Challengers in 2011 that most people don't realize. It's all in the details.

Yup, so many items were changed!!! Most people assume it has been the same since 2008 and that is far from true.JRS200x said:Indeed, the 11's were a BIG upgrade over the 10s. Drive a 10 and 11 back to back and the differences are immediately apparent and pretty astonishing actually...
Yup, the Daimler-era over-sized steering wheel with those tacky plastic inserts is finally gone; in addition to the new motor, the suspension angles are tweaked and the dual mode is are new for much improved handling; front and rear spoiler are bigger; now there's stitching on the door armrest and the door pulls are padded. Nevertheless, the quality and craftsmanship of the new Charger and 300 is far superior.Mike V. said:Yup, so many items were changed!!!

I agree with you in everything except the rear spoiler.Aldo said:Yup, the Daimler-era over-sized steering wheel with those tacky plastic inserts is finally gone; in addition to the new motor, the suspension angles are tweaked and the dual mode is are new for much improved handling; front and rear spoiler are bigger; now there's stitching on the door armrest and the door pulls are padded.

According to Motor Trend, the rear spoiler on 2011-onward 392 models is bigger than that on previous yearsMike V. said:I agree with you in everything except the rear spoiler.

News to me. I'll check today but I don't think that is true.Aldo said:According to Motor Trend, the rear spoiler on 2011-onward 392 models is bigger than that on previous years

I remember seeing side-by-side photos somewhere where you could see the pre-392 rear spoiler were about 1/4-inch lower...Mike V. said:News to me. I'll check today but I don't think that is true.

As I said, I'll verify that today. That's interesting.Aldo said:I remember seeing side-by-side photos somewhere where you could see the pre-392 rear spoiler were about 1/4-inch lower...
