    I guess we know what demographic they are going after. Problem is they are not selling Civic's. The Challenger Contest should instead be giving out Grills, Home Depot cards, and prostate exams.

    maybe their trying to expand their target market? . . . jay leno cant buy all these cars. I really cant see xbox and zune buyers/people under 40yrs old driving these cars. This car is for the baby boomers and the above 40 crowd, not video game players who like japanese cars.

    Not everyone interested in the new Dodge Challenger is going to be from the above 40 crowd. (I'm certainly not.) And I wouldn't mind if they were giving away grills and Home Depot cards, at least they would be useful! (Wouldn't want the prostate exam!) I don't have any need for an Xbox Live membership (I have better things to do than sit around playing video games all day.) Nor do I need yet another media player. So it turns out that I do like a couple of your suggestions.

    If you took the time to look at it, then you would find that this is actually a pretty good promotion. It is much more than “chose a 'custom' color” as you say. Although you are limited to paint and very limited customization options beyond that, it is possible to use the Photoshop template to create very detailed paint designs. It is also clever of them to use the rating system so that participants take it upon themselves to promote the car.

    The biggest failure of this contest is that they decided to give out microsoft points to encourage people to participate and as a result the site was overrun with dumb kids entering plain red cars so that they could buy content for their Xboxes. Those same dumb kids that like the “japanese cars” because the only car they've ever driven was in a video game.
