RE: Sketch
Well, it's possible it's the size constraints combined with some basic muscle car, coupe, styling that has you seeing Chevy. Perhaps it's the illusion of that picture (that also distorts the actual 06), but there's very clear Charger lines and strong (classic) stance there if you can relate to it.
However, as I said, if you prefer the new Charger with common modern sedan styling and stance, then there's nothing I'm gonna chop or sketch as a Charger that's probably going to impress you.
To each his own, but of those I've heard from, far more people that approve of this direction, than the actual 06.

I just hate hearing Dodge looks like something when we are the only different looking American car company as it is, nothing looks like us and its one of the reasons why we are better. We are the most copied, envied, and hated company ever, and thats why we are the best.

How many times have I heard "you have nothing constructive to add, so butt out"?
I think plum's contribution here is fantastic, but nick wants to throw rocks. Now who has nothing constructive to add?
Plum, your overlay of your model with the '06, contrary to one's opinion, shows why those who say the '06 has to look the way it does because of chassis and cabin constraints are full of it.
Very cool.

Plum,
I notice in your overlay that you've altered the roofline by what looks to be about two inches (lower) in the rear. From a structural standpoint, that would make your model harder to produce if starting from the '06 is a criteria.
If you kept the roofline identical to the '06, but added an inverted "tunnel"around the rear window (like the 2nd gen had) to retain the nice raked look, I'm wondering if the same visual effect could be had.
I've just gone back and reviewed the overlay once more, and b'leevitornot, I don't think the rear window of the stocker is really that bad. So leaving the roofline as the '06 already is, and adding some material in the side rear window area (as you have), would make your model an even more realistic-read that "produceable"- automobile.[sm=shades.gif]
