    The drawings are a bit over stylized to my liking, need to wait and see what it really looks like in sheet metal...if they actually make it.

    I love the look of the originals.

    ... and just for fun.

    Nose looks like a Z8....

    The drawings are so cartoonish, it's hard for me to take the whole thing seriously...

    That's my problem too. Even more so than most concept drawings, these make me think of Hot Wheels. :D

    Having a hard time seeing a real car...though I'm trying. I like the idea of bringing back the Interceptor but I'd rather see a proper resurrection with clear connections to look of the original, not just a re-use of the name.

    Are they going to use a Chrysler engine, like the original?

    A twin turbo's feeding a supercharger on a Hemi would be sweet.
