Yep, they are the headlights. The lower exposed lights are driving lights.

I don't like it at all, for that money I could have this (in black on a '68 please)

I like them - but I do have a classic Japanese sports car fetish 
It's hand built and as exclusive as any Ferrari (etc) of the same period.

Philistines - an E-Type, a Charger ? Why not a round the world cruise you pussys ?
That car IS a work of art AND an investment !

Never mind if they don't even move - if I had the space and the money, I'd have one of these and a Muira in my salon just to look at !
The Charger improved when it grew into a Viper GTS and was the first GTS car to drop below 4mins per lap at Le Mans.
The Toyota is timeless and so should remain.

The Toyota has style and panache
, iconic looks, timeless and unique styling, the charger........ has a big engine and handles like a hang glider.
Drive round in a charger and everyone will be TTP shouting "Yeeeehawwww".
Drive around in the 2000GT and everyone will be whispering "What on earth was that".
Apples and aardvarks I'm afraid

Jees and I thought you guys knew about cars! *sigh*
Those lights on the front look horrid, the wheels look crap, the dash was made from a slab of wood, the overall lines are ok, but it's no Miura.
I think you're comparison of the Charger and Toymota are unfair, as they were never designed to compete no was I suggesting one was better. I was just saying for the money I could have a lot more fun.
That Charger has real presence, and a stonking v8. It's the most badass car you can get (bad guys drive Chargers, we all know this). Ok it's a boat but I wasn't suggesting you take it to the track, it's all about rumbling along a promenade or something.
What a rear! I'd keep the brightwork though.

No. You are wrong.
Russ, I'm starting to worry about you. There's plenty of room under the sun for both the Toyota 2000GT and the Dodge Charger, so you don't need to 'choose' between them by comparing them. There's no point.
Having been lucky enough to drive a proper ( RHD! ) MF10 Toyota 2000GT around Tsukuba race circuit in Japan, I can tell you that it was a revelation. As a proper Grand Tourer in the original sense of the term it fully deserves its 'GT' badge, and as a package it was very well balanced. A wonderful experience that I won't forget.
However, I'm also an old Mopar fan ( previously a '68 Barracuda owner ) and can appreciate the Charger for what it is. I got a drive of a big block '69 Charger ( a 440 R/T ) in Japan too, and it was very interesting and fun, if a bit creaky and squeaky.
The Toyota is beluga caviar and the Charger is beef dripping. I like both, but not on the same piece of toast.
