meh.

I still don't know if I like that idea yet, I'll have to see some specs/testing first. The body's not bad, but that front grill, doesn't do it for me.

It's obvious where they're getting their design inspiration from...but I don't like it.

No charger please. I want to keep the memory of the cool car in my mind, not al-la mustang.

i like it. It's like a viper had sex with a jaguar

wait a second, its not june 7 yet

Here's a few very large pics to scrutinize :

I dig it.

hahhaha... its dated June 7, 2004

thats tomorrow

Well, here in Canada we have our own time zone. We are always one day ahead of the U.S.

whats it like in the future?

I've seen the future and it is a scary place. Full of "Goobacks."
(blatant South Park reference)

Four door?

ROFL!!

for some reason it reminds me of the newer camaros, i dont like it

wow i can't believe how OLD this news is, i've seen the pic of the concepts sooo long ago. it's fugly and i think dodge is wasting their effort and trying to copy ford wit the "going back" thing.

I know, this was a concept in '97.

You canadians are from the PAST aren't you?!

this isn't what the charger will look like; expect a sedan version of the Magnum. This was before chrysler was like "screw cab forward crap"

Sedan version of the Magnum being.... 300C???

Actually, I was watching Autoline Detroit on Speed and they had the person who was head of the Magnum/300 development...he wouldn't comment on the new Charger but he did mention how DaimlerChrysler was very adamant that the 300 not look like any other sedan in the Chrysler divisions. So, expect the Charger to look much more aggressive then the 300...

I hate that they are resurrecting a nameplate like the Charger for a sedan...still, if they make a kick ass sports sedan with an American style of design (big, raucous) then it is all good.

I like it. There's so many ways Dodge (whom I have looooadddsss of high expectations of, not) could have really fecked the design bad, but they didn't.

It's just what I think a modern 60-70's-equivelent american car should be. Long powerful highway cruiser.

Is it a good car? I have my doubts. Would I buy it over something else? Most likely not.

why the fuck is dodge ruining the ultimate muscle car image of the Charger with this chik car
