Dub Magazine , a publication known for highlighting the understated beauty of lightly customized automobiles, set up a display of lowered Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler vehicles made even odder looking with the addition of ridiculous rims. While it almost works on some vehicles, like the already chromey Chrysler 300 and Pepsi-vending Dodge Nitro, there are some vehicles that cannot be saved by anything short of explosives. An example of this is the maroon dubdubbed Chrysler Sebring with matching maroon wheels, or as we call it, the Pentabortion. galleryPost('dubmagchi', 9, 'Too Much Shiny');

A reader over at CarScoop managed to catch a pair of production-looking 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 muscle cars hanging out at Roush, tuner of most things Ford. There are a couple of interesting things going on here. First, there don't appear to be any racing stripes, which could lead you to think these aren't SRT8's, though we think they area. Second, they're hanging out in front of Roush. galleryPost('08DodgeChallengerSRT8P', 3, '2008 Dodge Challenger Production'); Is this a couple of engineers with Challengers paying a visit to mock Roush and their Mustang entrant into the Muscle Car Wars ? Is Roush going to be tuning the next generation of Challengers? Did the drivers stop to take a leak? We don't know, but we're happy to speculate. [Oot via CarScoop ]

Thanks to the kind folks over at Autoweek -- and via the folks at the Line on the Inside over at Edmunds -- we can now add an official press shot of the 2008 Dodge Challenger to our growing collection from the broken embargo . The main difference between concept and reality is the loss of the LED rear lights. The tips on the twin exhausts also become single rectangles, there's some added detail in the bumper, the reverse lights are a nifty single, central unit and the rear spoiler is all black. You can compare and contrast the changes in the galleries below. Don't forget, we'll be bringing you live coverage from the Challenger's official unveiling from the Chicago Auto Show next week. galleryPost('08DodgeChallengerSRT8P', 6, '2008 Dodge Challenger'); galleryPost('DodgeChallenger', 6, 'Dodge Challenger Concept');

The buff boys over at the buff book named Car und Driver appear to be needing some crucial reader input on their April issue. They, or a duly-sworn representative, appear to have taken it upon themselves to send out some versions of their cover to a small clinic group of readers to determine which shots should get the limelight of being an actual C&D cover. What's really funny to us is we remember overhearing a conversation involving Editor-in-Chief Csabe Csere at Narita Airport in the Northwest Worldclub waiting for our flight back from the Tokyo Auto Show. Csaba was loudly proclaiming how his publication is very careful with embargoed information, never -- ever -- letting outsiders have access to covers. We also remember hearing him say that other outlets (in the case being talked about, it was Motor Trend 's accidental embargo breach on the Nissan GT-R) need to be more careful with covers that reveal sensitive information -- and that Car & Driver doesn't ever run...

So the three-headed dog that runs "The New Chrysler" showed off their new muscle car to their wide world of dealers and a select group of media in Vegas last week. But it wasn't the concept car 2008 Dodge Challenger we've been seeing since it's first reveal at last year's Detroit Auto Show. Instead, they showed off what we're hearing is the production version of the new '08 Dodge Challenger via some secret camera phone shots from either a media person or dealer in attendance at the event. Luckily, as we didn't go, it obviously couldn't have been us who snapped these shots -- but fear not, we've got the utmost expectation we'll be getting a call from Chrysler PR blaming us for it. We'll just have to wait for the Chicago Auto Show to see it in person. Full spy report after the jump. galleryPost('2008DodgeChallengerVegas', 4, '2008 Dodge Challenger Caught In Vegas'); "-Comes out in March as 08 model -5500 to be built, all SRT8's with AUTOMATICS for 38K -July 08 production begins for the 09...
