Yeah that "DART" front looks like poop. I guess FIAT is slowly going to beat the DODGE out of everything now. A huge shame.

Unsure at this point. It certainly looks like they mated up a Dart front and rear to a Charger midsection. The front end looks a lot cleaner/sleeker than previous models but IMHO it appears a lot less masculine.
Maybe it will grow on me.

Hate the front body design. Interior looks real nice. (This coming from a guy driving a '97 Ram.) Shifter looks weird as anything.
I wouldnt buy one just because of that front end design though. Uhhh- terrible.

I did it. Wanted to wait for the 2015 model, but after noticing this design desaster, we sold our 2006 charger and bought for my wife the 2014 charger. Now hoping, when the next car is due in a few years, they noticed what they did and change the design back to the badass car it is before 2015.

First, to the best of my knowledge Fiat has had no influence on the styling of the new Charger. The design team is all American. As to the new look I think it's improved in some areas, like the side view. I liked the race track look of the previous version, but this one is okay, too. Now the front: Personally, I wasn't fond of the previous version's front-end. I have always thought it looked odd. This new look is more appealing to my eye. I don't mind a styling reference to the Dart, if that's what people see when they look at the new Charger. But it now seems to have a "me too" appearance (Fusion, Mazda, etc.)

Its all about attitude, or the lack of
Just throwin' this out there... Im sure there aren't many law enforcement agencies that are thrilled with this redesign either. Regarding the previous version, if you saw in your mirror that scowling, narrow-eyed front end climing up on you at the speed of light, lit up like the christmas tree from hell, it was enough to make even the toughest dudes' butt pucker. This new one? Is anybody really gonna take a car with the machismo of Woody Allen seriously?

That 2008 Charger with a bull bar on the front IS pretty intimidating.

Seems to me that, for a division that wants its products to reflect muscle and performance, they moved in the opposite direction with this one. VERY neutral looking for what should be the boldest Dodge out there.
