Nothing but posers and haters on this forum. First of all whoever thinks the Charger will sell "okay" and not "well" is just plain blind. NOBODY GIVES A S**T if they put the Charger name ona sedan. PERFORMANCE SEDANS ARE HOT RIGHT NOW!!! i.e. maxima, altima, BMW 5 and 7 series, Mercedes AMG sedans, mazda's and so on. Dodge didnt make this for people who are still living in the 1960's. They want to provide the "LOYAL" american car buyer with a powerful AMERICAN MADE sedan so they dont have to settle w/ gm's weak crap or buy import IN ADDITION, THEY WANT TO MAKE MONEY and they will because preformance sedans sell.
Secondly if you guys were real "mopar" guys you wouldnt be crying like babies because a car has 2 or 4 doors. I hate to break it to you guys but DCX hasnt been makign and thing great car wise for awhile. The general public cant afford a viper and other than the srt-4 the neon is a piece of crap quality wise. There hasnt really been anything to draw car buyers to dodge. Anyone you wanted quality and preformance anyway. Now we have the magnum,300 and the charger w/ hemi's and here so called "mopar guys" complaing about doors and nonsense????? disgusting.

My beef about the whole thing is that DC created another car that will compete with a vehicle they already offer, the 300 C, which is a well done sedan. The Charger should have been something different in my mind than the 300. Something more significant than a nose and tail facia change. I wouldn't have been any happier about it if it had been named something else either. They should have tried to make it more distinctive than what it turned out to be.
I suppose many people expected it to be more retro, like the new Mustang. When DC started calling the Ram truck special editions names like Rumblebee, GTX, Daytona it became more than obvious they were simply trying to capitalize on the past. Either that or the "NAME BANK" is running low.
If you're blind enough to except the new Charger as a Charger that's your business, but I don't have to, and am happier that way. Please don't call us posers. My opinions are mine, and I stand by my convictions as do my fellow DF members.
Oh, and as far as not being a true MoPar guy, I'll just let you know that I have a Pentastar tattoo'd on my sack.
