2011 Dodge Charger

An evolution of the previous design.

I think it looks great.

Note: those tail lights are LEDs and they outline the center darker area. Should look pretty cool at night.

I'm a little iffy on the protruding grille, but otherwise it looks badass.

Much better than the current car, which has grown on me (at least with the 20s on the R/T and SRT8).

Add me to the "like it" pile.

I'm very impressed with this update. I was afraid based on the spy shots that the 1999 Charger Concept elements would just be tacked on to the existing design, but they did a great job with integrating them and making the car look like a cohesive design.

The rear is killer. That will probably sell more of these than anything!

I like it more than the current one.

From the side it reminds me a little of the Charger concept from 1999, the one powered by CNG and which had, gasp, four doors.

I think it's a nice evolution. Hopefully they improved the quality of the materials on the inside beyond improving just the sound deadening.

I like it better than the current car which I always thought was to bubbly looking. The new Charger is more streamline looking, which looks great. At first I didn't care for the rear red taillight lens, it reminded me of the styling from the mid-90s ie, Cadillac Catera with red lens going all the way across the back of the car. But with the rest of the rear styling and the LEDs it looks pretty cool.

Looks pretty good. Are there any pics of what the refreshed SRT-8 will look like?

It looks great.

I have a 2007 R/T and its been the best car I have ever had and i have had a lot of them. But when Im done with this one, my kids will be out of those HUGE car seats and Ill be in the market for a small car.

While this looks better than the current car..I am not 100% happy. It has a lot of individual styling cues that look great, but togethor they don't work. It's basically like they tries to dress up the current car to be more exciting.

The nose is the worse offender...kinda reminds me of this-

Still can't get over the nose. I don't think I'll ever like this car. The rear seems to be somewhat of an upgrade though.
