    As a post note to the interviews, it is interesting to learn that Brian Nielander and Jeff Gale still work at Chrysler as Senior Design Managers.

    Michael Castiglione and Alan Barrington no longer work for Chrysler. Alan is a Designer at Mercedes and Michael is a Design Manager at Kia.

    Many new members have not seen these great video clips where the designers of the 2006 concept and 2008 production cars describe how they cars were created.

    Very interesting to watch.

    For all of you new Challenger owners, check out the informative interviews of the designers of the 2006 Challenger concept and the 2008 production car. They really give you incredible insight into how the retro-styled Challenger evolved from the drawing board to reality. For you other guys, a second look is also worthwhile!
