The 4-door Charger got nixed by German management, as they questioned the need to have two seperate four-door vehicles built off the same platform I highly suspect that they're capable of making a more-intelligent decision now, but I would not expect a Charger-type vehicle before '06.
I think you're right on the timescale. In any case, there will now be a seperate Intrepid-replacement, something that won't look like a sedan version of the Magnum wagon.

Of course, the disturbing side of the LX cars it the incredible weight gain. In addition, considering that a Mercedes transmission will be used with the Hemi, and a Mercedes-style 5-link multilink rear-end will be common across the range, these cars will be far from cheap. Assuming that a Charger coupe comes out in a few years, we shouldn't expect a Mustang competitor.
