Hope it looks better than the current car. NOT that the current car isn't good looking, but it just ain't badass like the RT/10 and GTS cars.:dontknow:

Though, the new coupe is pretty sweet.

OK, I don't know wtf I mean?

From what I have seen of the pics, only major visual change should be the hood...

I know what you mean, the car is just too "toned down". Just doesn't have that same aggressive look that it once did. The coupe isn't bad though. But still, make it a little more "scary" looking LOL.

That's the tightrope manufactures walk. Change it enough to look new, but not to much to alienate the existing owners.
