First Pictures of 2006 Dodge Charger RT:
Its simple, I think this car is ugly. The design of it has no flow. I wasn't looking for another 4 door family car from chryslers sporting division.
I think the viper should be a four door too with the same front end of the new charger. You know, make it more pratical. Looks don;t mean much for a car, its all about being safe and making sure everyone gets to one place to another safe and sound. Oh and about the crossfire, man that thing is small. We should throw on another set of doors so people can drive their kids around all the time. BLAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm... no market for a two door? Someone needs to tell that to someone in Dearborn, because Ford is making a lot of cars nobody will buy. Please, we have enough mommy mobiles, I should know I got one actually two I did not want a four door ram but dcx killed the ext cab. There is a market out there that is virtually untapped. The mustang is running solo, yeah I know the Gets Towed Often is available as well but the styling is so boring its a disgrace. I've posted this once before on another post, if we want to play it safe we will turn into Generic Motors, five years ago. Before Lutz came on board, GM pretty much was going down the tubes. But take away the doors, that front end is just awful and like I said before the galant wants its tail end back. DCX has been dropping the ball on its last couple designs, durango...dud, dakota...dud, grand cherokee...boring, charger...2 many doors, 2 generic and ugly styling. Someone in Auburn Hills needs to wake up.
Dodge became generic along time ago. This is a new age for Dodge. The Magnum, the Charger, the SRT-4, the Ram these cars are breathing new life into Dodge, even if the Charegr has 2 extra doors the design flows perfectly well and the general shape shape of the profile resembles an old Charger (aside from the extra door). The problem is you guys fail to realize what a muscle car means TODAY. I hope your starting to understand that its not the 60's anymore, cars and the car market have drasticly changed. The only musclecars that survived are the mustang and the vette. that says alot about those cars. The charger died along time ago. That says something about the charger. I love the charger. It was my favorite car, but its gone now. Now the market calls for sports sedans. Thats what people want. just look at the numbers, they prove you wrong. just look at the cover of the new motor trend. Its ays "AMERICAN MUSCLE IS BACK!" and what cars do they have on the cover???/ a FOUR DOOR Caddy CTS-V, a FOUR DOOR 300 SRT-8 and the only coupe there is the GTO that you bash so much. I don't see the Viper. In 2 years the GTO will be an awsome looking car and you'll have nothing to say, but knowing you guys you'll be bringing up things from the current GTO to complain about. So it seems that the name " MUSCLE CAR" isn't reserved for coupes anymore. Any badass american perfromance car, regardless of the number of doors is a muscle car. The Charger looks aggressive and muscular. Its angular w/ a fastback roof, big buldging rear fenders and a sharknose. Not to mention the MOST IMPORTANT aspect of a true muscle car, the perfromance power to earn respect. For me its not about the number of doors. Its about dodge putting out a car that can get the streets back from all these weak imports and earn Dodge the respect it once had as a dominating force on all the racing circuts.
It does looks like the 2 door coupes are slowly fading away in favor of the extra 2 doors. Having a family of my own now, a sports sedan really makes more sense than a 2 door coupe. I did enjoy those 2 door coupes back when I was single. I used owned one of those little Onmi Shelby Turbo'ed Chargers. Big gripe about those not being anything like the old days, then again, the 80's were the oil pinch days. And the Big 3 is making smaller and lighter cars to save gas. Chrysler was the dominate 4cyl performace maker back in those days. Those 2.2's really kicked butt and can keep up with most v8 small blocks back in its time period. I always bragged about my little Shelby Charger being able to keep up with those V8's and even beat a few plus I get nearly 30 MPG on the highway. I always waited for one day that car manufacturers will make 4 door sports sedans and with Maximas and TL type S's recently came out, I am a big fan of those cars. Now the Big 3 is starting to make some good sports sedans to complete with them.
Again, I don't want a four door. Im not going to buy a four door. They lost a sale to people that want 2 door cars. Their ignoring this part of the market, even if they continue to state that there is no market for 2 doors. Slap in the face from Chrysler. "YOU WILL BUY ONLY WANT WE WANT TO MAKE."

Jeffy your list's too long!
2-seat sports cars are a whole different market (Vette, Panoz). The BMW's and MB's are a different price class where a low-volume coupe can still make money, and all those 3xx BMWs are the same car anyway. Most of the rest of your list is compact econocars with the exception of the Mustang which does well because it's a Mustang. About the only cars that would really be a competitor for a Charger coupe is the Monte Carlo, Accord coupe, and Camry Solara (and maybe the BMW/Mercs if we're talking decontented cars vs a loaded Charger). None are terrific sellers. The Monte Carlo's the one I see the most of and it only sells about 60k a year.

My list was directed to Kensai as he was saying that coupes are fading out of the picture. I wasn't looking at price or class of the car. We are missing the econmarket and full size 2 door market. I just want one full size sport 2 door car made by dodge that is affordable. I guess its too much to ask for.
