Honestly not seeing too much bloat from that angle.

It’s big, but weighs nearly the same as the old one. So that’s kinda cool, I guess.

This was the car I was saddest not to love. It looks great, great numbers (except weight) and the exhaust sound was awesome!

Alas, suspension was squishy and I just couldn’t do it.

The old HemiCuda weighed in at around 3900, the Hellcat is 4400.

Ha! You think that’s bad? Acura does model bloat better (the TSX is what replaced the Integra sedan)

I know most of that is perspective. But still, damn.

It's not as bad as the picture makes it seem but it is still way bigger

Oddly enough, some things have actually gotten smaller...

Kinja'd!!!

Dodge Polara Custom and a Dodge Magnum RT. Both V8 Dodge wagons.

Now I really see where the LX platform Magnum came from, I’m just surprised they used the name from a 2 door coupe to bring it back. It works, it’s just strange seeing it next to the Polara, and seeing just how very similar the two are (the Polara has a 440 with a 4 barrel, Magnum has a 5.7L)

Yeah. They’re crazy. And hood level on most new trucks is ridiculous as well.

I think the Challenger is styled really bulkily; it looks larger than it is.

It’s still huge, though.

I had one (2010 SRT8) and yes they are HUGE! They are as wide as a full size truck. And the hood is quite tall for what it is. not the best car for visibility. The car is heavy and you feel every pound of it when you drive. Some cars feels lighter when you drive but this is not one of those cars.

Jesus Christ, I’ve never realized how much bigger the R35 actually is. It is 500lb heavier though so makes sense.

Doesn’t have the best visibility but it’s still much better than the visibility in the Mustang and Camaro. It’s also the only pony car that has a usable rear seat and a big trunk.

Alfa still did it better though

100% correct. I looked at all 3. This is not the fastest car out of the 3 but it is definitely the best car out of the 3.

At the time the Camaro was mostly plastic interior and the visibility was atrocious. The mustang was a bit better as far as interior quality but the back seat was pretty much just for show & tell.

I daily drove the Chally for 3 years and it was great. The only time the visibility sucked ass was when backing out of a parking stall since the c pillars are huge and the small rear windows are really tiny.

Kinja'd!!!

look at the back window the clear part is the size of the window from inside the car. the black trim around the window is actually where the b pillar and interior end up to. The actual window is maybe 7 sq/inches

Dodge could solve the visibility issue by adding a larger rear quarter windows, and a smaller c-pillar.

If the window was the size that they looks like from the outside it would make a world of difference. As of now those windows are just for decoration.

My 08 gen TL was parked next to a 12+ TSX at work the other day. The TSX looked bigger
