What do you guys thinks?  I think I like it.

Edit:  Let me edit this,  I've never really liked the new charger.  I was just comparing this to the current model.  Oh yea, I got this pic from and autoweek article about this may be coming out soon.

Looks like a square box.
Actually very much like the old k-car convertibles.

No other opinions on it?  It's better than the 4 door version anyway.

Still looks German to me.......nothing wrong with that, Germans make awesome cars but when cats hump Dogs things get ugly.
They should build the Mercs and let Chrysler do there own paddling and make us OUR American V8.

Looks too short, for some reason....  Maybe make the hood and trunk a little longer...

Hmmm..intawesting....  At first glance I thought it was a convetible pick up truck!  The digimod itself is very good.  I think I'll wait for the "new" Challenger instead.

They are trying to take a full size car and turn it into a compact car. That is one ugly car. It kind of reminds me of those transfomer toys my kids used to play with.
I am not looking forward to the butchering of the Challenger.

I'm interested.  Call it a morbid curiousity.  Would be cool to have a "new" Challenger next to my "old" Challenger.  I am skeptical of what it'll look like.  But that's another thread.... :)

Get rid of that damn cross grille. What do they think we are?  Knights living in the middle ages? God is one thing...but don't put it on our cars anymore. it was cool for a little while. But now that cross grille has burnt itself out. (no pun intended) Can't they just get a whiff of what Ford is doing? If I were the head coach, I would eleminate all the players that don't offer new ideas that appeal to  what really works. DC needs to get back to basics. That is one thing that they tell you in sales when you aren't selling anymore!!..."GO Back to Basics"..."What once worked"

It looks smashed in the front and the rear. No long clean lines on this one.
