If I remember right, this was going to be rear wheel drive (which was supposedly possible with the LH platform), and powered by a boosted 4.7l V-8. Now if it would had that aweful 2.7l V-6, I could see that arguement.
Don't see the Camaro front clip, but now that you mention it, the newest Charger does borrow pretty heavily from this concept car..........took long enough, wonder if having the Italians inplace of the Germans and to a lesser extent Canadians (Cerberus) to fix this problem.
