I'm not saying that there's something wrong with it...I agree it looks good and performs great, I just think they should've called it something else. New muscle is different than old muscle...lets keep it that way.

I always had hope that they would make the SRT-4 2-door but it never happened lol

 

Listen, dare I say "kid", I am a responsible 35 year old who owns a classic Charger, and was looking for a daily driver modern car with Charger styling. A modern Charger. My preference for such styling has nothing to do with a need to "grow up". Regardless of your notion that you have some magical insight or clue as to what my priorities should be, or in fact are, irrespective of your wonderous realization that the year is, yes, in fact, 2005.

Needless to say, I hardly believe you are going to be hauling around a family (if you get an '06), and will be using it to an end that matches your proclaimation of being so. For me, it's about preference in something with a real history, purpose to design, and the story behind the new product being sold; a meaningful and accurate relation to that history in product and promotion that simply hits the mark as already defined by the label and the expection it is obviously going to inspire. I don't need someone telling me I need to grow up, simply because I have not accepted any new styling which is inaccurately riding a reputation and design of a totally different car. Thanks.

I was *in* college while you were still being wiped off, after birth, so I'm well into the game of growing up.

You can build a school bus and call it a Charger, and you can like it. However, don't try to tell me I should simply like it for some unfounded and irrelevant claim that I need to "grow up". Don't tell me "it's almost" got any kind of styling. And don't tell me, simply because the year is 2005, that I should have any desire for something different. It's a simple preference for a different style car that shares the same badge. That's it, that's where the confusion and disappointment lies. Even better when the past is downright discounted and then cozied up to in the same sentence. It's the best. "Retro is bad....hey look at these hot retro colours."

The best is the "well, it'll outperform your old Charger". Yeah. Thanks. So could have an alternately, Charger-styled vehicle; and possibly more so, given an aerodynamic design.

It's done. I'm done. And who am I to say what DCX will/can produce and what they should call anything. It's up to them. But don't dismiss my negative reponse to the whole '06 fiasco with a remark about my maturity or priorities. It's a real **** off.

 

i dont like it either....we already had this "charger", but in a station wagon...it is called a magnum. thisn should be called the magnum sedan.

 

DCX could save themselves a lot of grief and shut up all the naysayers with a simple name change.

 

Well said lol

My opinion, that's highly, HIGHLY imporbable even though I did say anything is possible


YES!!!!! LOL

 

thats very true, but it is to late to do anythign about it now, so resistance is futile

 

The most ingorant thing one can say is that the Charger is just a Magnum without the "Back". Thats like saying all B bodies are the same, IE The 69 Coronet is the same car as a 69 Charger. The new Charger is much farther away from the magnum, than the older B bodies were from each other. THE Charger is, and will be the current flagship of Dodge Cars PERIOD. The Charger, rather you like the looks or not, looks more like a Charger than any car ever because it IS THE CURRENT CHARGER.

The Idea is to sell cars, and make customers happy. Looks like the Charger is gonna do this, If the Charger is half as much a success as the 300LX, then it will be a complete victory proving Dodge right 100%, and everyone trashing it will be proved wrong,

 

Seems like the majority of this name complaint is just from the charger having 4-doors. Does anyone think its actually cool to see a muscle car with 4-doors from dodge? The car has a lot of pluses like the weight distribution, multiple displacement, Hemi, etc... What about all those good aspects?

 

I'm excited because of a 4 door muscle car. it is like a better looking intrepid that doesnt have a ****ty enghine, and thats all i want

 

a muscle car by its most basic definition cannot have four doors...this is a four door performance car.
