The styling cue that they were indeed inspired upon were the '70 Challenger, a very agressive looking automobile. Now I know that many of you are probably saying ' Look what they did to the Charger -but I believe that somebody within the company had a grand plan. You can't have two, two-door muscle cars competing with each other, especially two cars under the same Brand. It's not the 1960's any more, look what happened to the Camaro and Firebird, part of which hurt sales was the fact that you had two cars effectively competing with each other.
In other words, they need to keep this car agressive looking. This car was agressive looking then and they need to keep it the same in the future. Even the '67 Mustang (from which the '05 was penned) was not as aggressive as this car was. The Dodge boys desinged the '70 Challenger as a young man's muscle car.

 Many pilots of the time were the opinion that a fighter pilot in a closed cockpit was an impossible thing, because you should smell the enemy. You could smell them because of the oil they were burning.
