Dodge Charger

[Tom]

What do you guys think?

Whats with Dodge and Rubber? That car would look hot with some 20's and less rubber.....Tom what are the specs?

A dodge charger should be a 2 door car, orange in color with a confederate flag painted on top.

Why put 4 doors on such a classic.

 

[jrt67ss350]

The 4 doors really doesn't bother me, but the front end does. Why couldn't they have used the front end from the Magnum?

 

[Big Daddy]

Got to agree, the front end looks like a tank. Side view is not too bad though. I guess I am not into the new Dodge look.

It's just a 300C with a Dodge emblem, that's an E-Class chassis as well, (the old E-Class).

Wonder if it has a throw-away plastic transmission like the Sprinter Van?

 

[aNoodle]

I think it looks good.

 

[jonnyk]

it looks a bit like one of your big suv's from the front i dont know if thats a good thing and mustang at the rear

 

[adamsonem]

Meh.

I'm sure it will be a beast, but it just doesn't do the original any service. And yea, the back half looks pretty similar to the new Mustangs (mmmm).

I read an article about the 2 door vs. 4 door issue on this car. The designers goal was to make it appear that the roof line and rear fender bulge give it a coupe appearance even though it has 4 doors.

I kind of like it. I know I would never buy it, however I bet it looks better in person...

 

[Abdoman]

look pretty good - at least it's stylish and has the makings of bringing back the big car, big engine & RWD

Honestly it seems like ALL american cars are like that and i do NOT understand it. They put 17" wheels on, with the same side wall size as 20 years ago!! Do they WANT it to handle mushy and all? It looks okay in pictures...but I'm not sure how it will look in person. It also should be a few inches lower....

Also the lines REALLY remind me of the new ford 500 and ford mustang.

Another design flop, just like the GTO. Bringing back the classic muscle cars is great, but dont rush it by putting different car panels together and putting the name to it. Its ugly.

 

[bmw555]

I think it's ugly, nothing like the original.

Chrysler's 300C version looks better. The Charger concept from 1999?? had MUCH better styling cues.

I agree. Here's the 1999 concept for those that don't remember it:

Now that was a cool, exciting car. This new one seems dull and doesn't have an evolution of any of the styling cues from the "real" Chargers. The 1999 concept was full of modern interpretations of the classic styling cues.

I would have been much more content with them just building a sedan form of the Magnum wagon - the styling of the Magnum is much cooler IMO.

Actually it does have at least one. Look how the rear end juts straight out - that is definitely from the original Charger. It looks a lot like the new Mustang.

I do agree that the styling is rather bland. I am just excited that the US cars are finally moving to better platforms.

 

[HornyHornet]

I agree that the 1999 Concept is a much better interpretation of a modern Charger. The latest one just blows.

Well look at the concept Mustang vs. what was produced?...............The new "stang is hidious and ugly and poo poo lookin, where as the concept was HOT HOT HOT
