If the Charger does well, look for other names to come back - Challenger is reportedly under consideration along with Daytona.

I hate the new dodge charger..... ford did a better job with their new mustang in staying true to their first mustang. I am not buying one and it may do well but only has well as a new intrepid can. It isnt retro cept the name. and maybe the roof line sort of. the rest sucks arse. I am speaking out agaisnt the charger hell yes. I am not buying one but to stay loyal to mopar or no car I am not buying a ford or chevy either, I will drive my old car for a few more years and hope they get their act together.

The new Charger looks like a nissan to me,, Altima or something  :-\


The double diamond styling of the original and the late concept car is gone

It's like they forgot >:(

It will not do well looking like that.  Muscle cars are not for the whole family.  :-\   That thing is a disgrace to the Charger name no matter how much horsepower it has.  :'(     DC is in the mind set of " Let's put a hemi in a station wagon and market it as a muscle car!".    :'(

That wouldn't even be a shocker if they did that. 10 years from now there could be new Chally's, 'Cudas, Daytona's, Darts, on & on. The really horrendous thing would be if they gave some of those names to Mitsubishi (like the Lancer).

I find that the new incarnation look slike a 300 with a slanted roof line.  I prefered it when it was the original concept vehicle.  As kind of Intrepid lookin' 4 door with a swooping nose.  I hate the look of this version.

They built the Charger in the 80's 83-90 I think the challenger 78-80 whatever and same with the daytona,

Bring back the Coronet and Savoy           or a riced up neon with a big wing and call it a daytona (ok scratch that Idea)

If you look closely on almost every new vevicle made, the b or c pillar(depending on 2 or 4 door) have a very thin area for rear quarter connection at the roof line at assembly. This is the reason that most of the new cars will never resemble anything that we love! They're trying to speed up the assembly line to keep production costs down. Back then, they had to slow down to apply lead or wierd type bondo for the vynyl roof. The bottom line is that no matter what they want to re create, nothing will ever resemble what we like from the era that we love!!!

According to this post on Dodge-Charger.com, there is a particular person that can be thanked for the wonderful (sarcastic remark) Charger re-creation..

http://www.Dodge-Charger.com/Charger/index.php?board=16;action=display;threadid=47792


If Ford can retro the Mustang, Chrysler can retro the Charger.
They built a cockadoody V6 Crossfire 2-door.
Why they can't build a 2-door Musclecar is beyond me!

  It's all marketing. Save $$$ by (in most cases) using an existing platform and name already owned by a given Corporation and make money at the sales end. All that's missing are the words "new and improved".

Looks like everyone at Dodge-charger.com agrees with me.  ;D  I wonder if anyone at DC ever scans over these kind of web sites?  They should, then they would see how mopar fans really feel about thier new products.  ::)

We are the guys that talk up the name and love our cars. Sure other people love their mopars. but if they had a chevy they would love their chevy too. HEY MODERATOR, WEB SITE OWNER, WHO EVER IS IN CHARGE, lets get organized and send an official complaint as a club and get all the other clubs in on this. if we get enough names then maybe they will listen. If DC does this time and time again I may never buy a new car again. NOT EVEN THEIR TRUCKS. Ill just rebuild what I got or even go with an older model. F-in pencil pushin never had a go-cart nerd that got beat up by guys like us AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
