Dodge Challenger: Interior Styling

Jeff Gale, the son of famous Chrysler design executive Tom Gale, explains how they took a big step forward on the interior design of the 2009 Dodge Challenger. Chrysler has been roundly criticized on the interior designs of its recent vehicles and on the Challenger it went out of its way to show that it's improving its interiors. Jeff Gale points out the use of different materials on the interior, and how they used certain design elements to tie it all together.

Dodge fire the interior designer this car deserves better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Put some angle don't create everything square with a ruler. 5 year old can do a better job.

I have a Challenger (2011) and I think the interior is great!. Matches what they were trying to do - recreating a '70's muscle car. They hit the nail on the head. Question is .. where do they go now? What will the next one look like? Will there be a next one? If you have one - hold on to it.

Have you guys ever seen the interior of a 1970 Challenger, aside from some fake walnut paneling it looked like crap. The new Challenger has a far better interior than the old one, especially the seats.

@baberuthistheman White gauges are a MUST on performance cars. Especially a muslce car.

For the price? Just make the car its own steering wheel - I'm good. Other stuff is BS. Most or all Mopars cars from 66- 71 then later on in 72-74 used the same crap and even same roofs underpinning etc - no different than today. So when people knock the challenger for having charger/300 gauges and steering wheel - Duh assholes they did the same shit back then - Get a life!

"our management is starting to recognize how important the customer is" - well, isn't that special.

the interior needs to be completely redesigned - not a single element of the current design should be kept. it looks like the afterthought that it is. it looks like a really bad hair cut. there is no way that it could be worse. i could go on for days. whoever designed it should change careers.

Who is he kidding? This car is drop dead gorgeous, but the interior COMPLETELY fails!
