Default Question of the Week: What One Thing Would You Change About the 2015 Charger RT?

Some people love the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T. Some people like it enough and some people hate it.



Regardless of where you stand, tell us what one feature you think could "fix" the look of the new high performance sedan?

Default Improve the looks.

They need to go retro like they did with the Challenger. Make it a 2 door and it should looks like it used to in 1970. It looks like a big fat family car.

Default Charger

Make it a 2 door like the old chargers were. These newer versions have never really been a CHARGER to me! The challenger really resembles the old ones.Now redesign the Charger into a 2 door that resembles the old school car and you would have something the people would flock to it like moth to a flame!

Roof line is ok, but the body needs to be "thinned".
I would do something like a 4" to 5" channel job just above the front wheel opening, and down the full length.
Change the outside door handles; making them a little more flush would help.
And I know everyone wants 2 doors (myself included) but if it has to stay 4 door, how about doing a look like they did on the Mazda RX-8 where it looks like a 2 door, but it is actually a 4 door?
And the grill is bad. I like the headlights, but it looks like they really didn't put any thought into the rest of it. The bumper and the grill need to be flush (like the nose on a 2007 Magnum, or the 300's of that same period).

They put the "Corvette cove" on backwards, and lost the map to the Chrome shop, The *** end is bigger than my Mother-in-Law's. Paint it Yellow, and it would look like a block of Velveeta that has been left out in the sun all afternoon in July. Other than that, I agree with bazthespazz & out2doorsman, plus it's got nice wheels.

New car is ok except for the God aweful front . As the owner of a 14 Charger R/T, Dodge has lost it's way . The front would have been fine with the drawings per Allpar.com ie; The red one or preferably the gray one . Even the large grille opening at the bottom could be closed a little but it's the hood line and awesome headlights that said " I'm bad , I'm here, come and get some, I'm the new 2015 Charger !

It needs to be a 2 door hardtop like the vintage ones and give it a Charger grille for crying out loud!

Okay now in the real world where the demand for coupes are very limited and the demand for sedans is much higher and profitable, how is the company supposed to do this? The Charger as a coupe is not going to have sufficient demand in the current market with the Dodge Challenger also pulling the retro muscle car running on the same platform. Don't get me wrong, I wish they would release someday a retro Charger, but as long as the Challenger exists, it is not going to happen. I wish they would have used a different name as well, but it has been 8 years and counting, it is time to LET IT GO.

That stated, the worst is the grille, the next is the Euro styled lights. They need to make it look closer to the 1999 charger Concept.
