Saw an 06 Charger on the streets today...

I must say, this thing looked mean! It was black with black centered 3-pc. wheels. It had a DUB badge on the side. Really clean and mean looking. I didn't know these cars were out yet, it made me do a double take. The car was spotted in the City of Industry/LaPuente area. The pictures do it no justice. [/blasphemy]

Sounds like the same one that DUB magazine had at their display at the Chicago Auto Show.

If it is..that car started to change my attitude about the Charger. One second before I saw it...I would have told you that Charger was one of the biggest design failures ever. But that Charger....and it sure sounds like it could be the same one....was so frickin' mean and agressive looking....it changed my opinion, instantly.

Agreed. If it had "DUB" on the side.....it was the Dub magazine version and not the production version.

Kris....glad to hear everything is OK with you. Keep designing those umm......toys

I like it! Although 20s would look better (more tire sidewall) than the 22s.

That'd look killer parked next to my black 96 Impala SS.

Looks like a Killer whale. All it needs is some white paint across the front.

Beats the bloated, dead whale look of the final gen Caprice.

If that's the car...it looked so much meaner in person.

Still looks like the same awkwardly styled Charger to me.... with big bling-bling wheels on it.

I agree, but I still think the rear quarters are awkard as hell.

Oh, don't get me wrong...I'm not saying it's a pretty car. Just saying that maybe it's not as bad as I thought.

I think it's a great looking car until you hit the second set of doors. I really wish they had a coupe available, it would have changed my opinion of Dodge.
