Default The new Dodge Charger

WOW. I've seen many pics online and it just looked "okay" to me. Even the SRT. But I finally went to the local dealership to have an up close look and WOW. This thing is SHARP. Definitely takes hints from the concept. I was in LOVEEEEEEEE! The pictures do NOT do it justice. It looks so much better in person. I love the sides and the new rear.

Awesome color. I'll post a pic here in a few.

imo, honestly im gonna have to say it got uglier, im sorry just havent liked em from the start, challenger is nice but id have to be loaded to own a charger due to the fact i would have to somehow shorten the cab area somehow making a 2 door out of it, just my 2 cents as i hate to bash dodge bein an owner

I think most of us who grew up with 60's and 70's Mopar "get" what the designers are going for. I can't explain how, but I swear I see 71-73 Plymouth Satellite/Dodge Coronet Sedan in the styling. Those were the best looking sedans of that era (though the LTD's were pretty sharp too). All I know is that looks like what a Chrysler sedan should look like. "It's a Charger with 4 doors. That's not right! WAAAAHHHH!!!!" You got to be kidding! That is a whole lot better than the 1978-1982 Dodge Challenger or even the 1983-1987 Dodge Charger. As someone who owned a 1969 and who's brother still has a 1970 GT, they (original Chargers) are great looking and can be fast, but aren't the beginning and end of Mopar. The name is important for our heritage, but it ain't holy. And this Charger with a base 5.7L will kick the @$$ of any of those Chargers-including a Daytona and yes, it's a sedan. Get the !@$* over it already!

Of course the Charger was also a 4 cyl turbo'd hatch back at one point so a v8 muscled sedan is quite refreshing...Even though I still liked the 80's chargers.

I dig that scoop on the side. I actually prefer this to the SRT version.

I like the rear-end better for sure!

Now all it needs is an old-fashioned stick, and it will be pure win.

Love the new look and love the orange color. If it weren't for the recent purchase of my used RAM, I'd be trying to purchase one right now! LoL
