Dodge Charger The Dodge Charger. The car that made its competitors shiver in the 60's is reborn in 2006 into a sleek sedan that can still send the competition home wimpering, the Dodge Charger.

First I don't like the choices in the poll, I don't hate the car but as I said in another thread the front looks like an old Bonneville, the back like an old 300C and it has a kick-up in the flank. This is exciting? I'd buy it for the performance but the styling leaves me totally unimpressed.
I really considered waiting (I just bought an RT/AWD) the blah styling has helped me realize I made the right choice.

It's a pretty good looking sedan, but it's a total abomination of the Charger nameplate just like the '80's Chargers were (at least they were still only a 2 door, but the new one at least has a V8 & RWD).[:@][:@][:@][:'(][:'(][:'(] If they couldn't do it right, then they shouldn't have done it at all.[&o]
No need to type my sentiments... what 71RR said!!!!![sm=forgetit.gif]

I'll be looking at it when it hits the dealers showroom. I'd like to drive the SRT-8 version and compare it to the 05 GTO. I like the added room of the Charger.

Allpar.com says the SRT-8 will be the coupe version. I hope so. What do you guys think?

Thank God, no there has never been a 4 door Roadrunner. They may have gotten ugly as **** and as weak as a wet tissue, they always remained 2 door, RWD and V8 powered (they may have created some with a Slant 6 during it's last years '78-'79, I'm not entirely sure).


I will believe a 2 door SRT-8 when I see it on the lots, but not until then.
