Should be interesting. My biggest complaint is with the roofline & A-pillar, not the front clip.

My biggest complaint is having too many doors.

I think I know what it will look like...

it will probably look like this

I'm a little mad that the chop ended up that cool. I was trying to make fun of Dodge by using SRT-10 Ram parts on the Charger... Oh well... looks pretty nice actually.

Re: Charger SRT-8/Daytona to get new nose?

Saw the Charger up close at NAIAS....talk about a car with no soul. Though it isn't quite as awful in person, there's nothing about the design that grabs you, certainly not like a Charger should. I have a hard time believing Dodge will be overly successful with this effort. What I can't figure out is the press around here is still singing its praises.

It 1st I was like then I noticed it was the RAM front ... then I thought about it... and it looks better than the real front clip.

I sure hope ASC nose looks better than the job DCX did. It looks like a compressed dakota's nose. I would consider buying one if they can fix the nose.

Haha, poor Chrysler, they are probably spending all their profits from the 300C paying off the press

The ram front is almost more hideous looking than the original . DCX was just on too much of a roll . The were bound at some point to generate something thats a lil hard on the eyes
