Yes & No

All the exterior steel will be zinc coated ( before Pressing ) , but the finished body will be ELPO dipped ( Electro Phosphate Organic ).
It has about 85% as good protection as zinc / galvanising but lets you get a decent paint finish ( Oh and it's cheaper )

fair doos, that works then

Really, Because you can see ripples in the paint finish in the gallery photos...

Good old GM, quality standards arn't slipping, but they sure arn't getting any better...

That orange peel on the red car is hidious!

Overall i think the car is pretty ugly though. Just begs the question, who is going to buy one at the minute?!

Muscle cars aren't supposed to be pretty, they are supposed to be aggressive and mean looking, and that she is...

If I had money to burn i'd have one in a shot, but then if I had money to burn I'd be able to command one with a descent paint finish and interior...

Yeah, I can see what you mean, but its a beautiful ugly-ness.

Challenger, Mustang, Camara ('67 SS) all have that look.

This just imitates. It doesn't have any of that, 'heck, we just put a darn truck engine a car!' The viper was the last true muscle car I'd say.

Of course, all my own opinion. And props to Dodge for putting out the new Challenger, it don't look bad.

Can't believe they made the Charger a 4-door, though.
