    Flaws? I remember when my 95 Dodge Dakota door literally fell off.The hinge tore off with the sheet mtal around it.

    Can't say I have ever seen that, and I have worked at a dealer since 1984.
    To get the hinge to tear the metal must have taken an awful amount of stress!

    Remember it was 88 and newer chevy trucks with the glue on hinges that had doors falling off.

     :coffee: Beautiful Roadrunner, maybe if we are lucky D/C will come out with a 4 door version in a few years. Folks its all a joke, no they can name their cars what they want, so why "sh!t" on a car that gave you mega bucks in sales. Create a new name for your new car line, now that's a hard job,lol. Face it, it's just a chep shot to sell a car that pretty much looks like a few others they produce, nice family 4 door sedans.

    but to the die hards a Charger was a legacy that is now broken with a car that shares nothing more than the Dodge name.:


    You mean the "legacy" wasn't "broken" with the mid '80's "Chargers"?  lol

    Actually, those were more true to the originals than the Cordoba Chargers.  At least the Omni Chargers had performance.


    Also, I'm glad I test drove it yesterday, instead of today, which is what I was originally gonna do.  It's already been sold.  I seen a 25-30 year old man driving it with In Transit plates.  Hmmmmmm, isn't that the age demographic that DCX was targeting??  And, the Charger sure didn't sit on the dealers lot for very long before being sold....

    Actually, I don't think they will be doing that.  I'm thinking they are just gonna use the Challenger for the 2 door.  That won't be here until '09
