Here are pic's of the REAL Charger that Chrysler should've built. The retro styling cues, and the overall look of the car said "Muscle Car"!!

The current Charger is a heavy 'carry-over' of the current Dodge Magnum.

The current reviews of enthusiast's are rather poor. It's being said that first impressions are pointing to styling reminiscent "of an old person's car". Not what the muscle car world, or Chrysler needs!
The SRT trim package does 'spritz-up' the car a bit, but it still doesn't say "Muscle Car"!
The only thing that's going to save this vehicles sales figures is the 4-door family convenience and the engine horse power.

The only thing I think could be improved on the '99 concept is make it a 2 door, chuck that 4 door muscle car idea!!

 

Nice pics of what it should of been. But a terrible site full of pop-ups you have to wade through to get to the full sized image.

 

I agree with you, MI. The current Charger looks like the box the concept car came in. I saw one on the road the other day, and didn't realize what it was (very generic from the rear) until I stopped behind it and read the name. The design is too conservative and not what I expected from DC.

 

I think the Magnum is better looking.

 

The concept car in that first link is definitely more gorgeous - I wish they had gone more retro like Ford did with the Mustang as well.

But hey, a little customization goes a long way! http://www.dubedition.com/charger/charger.html

 

That helps but it's still a four door looking rental car.

 

I suppose, cars are what you make of them. But that's why we own Crossfire's right?

 

That's right and with a little bit of imagination you can make the new Charger look alot better. IMO, I'd rather have the 300C, but that's just me.

 

bah, i'd rather keep our 750i.

 

Is that because that's what your Dad has? I guess you always say "our", but I'm thinking it's "his". That's ok. One day you'll be able to get your own car to brag about!

 

ooo nasty!

these are just things that i'll enjoy by the time i'm 20, that you worked for till you were 35+

bitter one.

 

no, here's what it should have looked like...

lol (Ouch!)

 

Wow, that's amazing! That would've been a great competitor for the Mustang!

 

I love that hood! Says it could be the new Challenger. I'd look that one up for sure!

 

Well, if you like this one so much, hopefully your Dad will keep it till you're 20. Didn't happen with the XF?

 

nope, still have the "XF".

different strokes for different folks.

 

Had some guy in a new Charger almost run off the road trying to keep up with my on a side trip to Annapolis Maryland today. I felt bad for him the way he was changing lanes like a maniac as I steady kept it in the fast lane.

 

kowabonga!!!!!will this be the fate of the crossfire?????I'm in the market for that one, but not if it is watered down(read:bastardized!!!)...JIMBOO
