I remember this excellent comparison article.

With the Camaro 3 years old and the Challenger 4 years old, is there any word about what changes might be coming in the future, and about when? I doubt both these Companies will sit idly by and let the 'new' Mustang come out unchallenged as it were, in 1 1/2 - 2 years from now.

Even Consumer Reports likes the Challenger now.

What I like about the Challenger, Camaro and Mustang is that each have distinctive styling.

Me too.  I would say that personally, I would pick the Mustang, but between these two - definitely the Challenger.  It just seems more use-able.  I don't like the Camaro's toy car looks nor it's tiny trunk opening nor it's visibility or lack thereof.  The Challenger may not be as great around the track, but for everyday liveability, it's the winner here.  7.9L/100km on a highway - are you kidding me?  That's amazing for a 5.7L 8-cyl car!  Some midsize V6 cars don't get that fuel economy.

That's exactly what I did. I always thought the Challenger was the best looking of the 3, however it had to be 3/4 +/- the size and weight. Then it would have been perfect. I don't even think the Challenger would fit inside my garage!
