    Spy Shot of 2014 Challenger

    looks like it might have a 1970-type Barracuda grill.

    So the only changes will be subtle changes.

    The Barracuda is supposed to come out in 2015 and be based on a much smaller and lighter chassis than the present Challenger. I think what we are seeing is the "refreshed" Challenger for 2013- maybe the new SRT. If it has a divider in the grill, it may resemble a cross between the the 2006 concept car and the SRT10 SEMA car.

    The cross grill seems to be on every model. A Dodge trademark.

    The designers had to fight with their corporate bosses to have a clean grill on the 2008 Challenger (like the 1970), and not the "trademark" Dodge cross-hair grill.

    Check out this interview with Jeff Gale, the designer of the 2008 Challenger's exterior.
