I'm sure it's gonna be a very nice sedan, but you'd think people are gonna scream bloody murder over a 4-door Charger when you think of the way many reacted to a 2-door RWD, V8 GTO.

 

will this replace the 300c?

 

Just remember, this is only a Dodge LX car. This isn't the Charger until Chrysler announces it.

 

call that whatever you want, but it ain't a charger!!

if people gave the GTO a hard time, the reception for this one could REALLY be ugly

 

I'm still not 100% convinced that THAT car will end up being called Charger.

 

When I look at that with the 4-door and so on, all I can think is "Chrysler 300 ". I give it two thumbs down.

 

Does anyone have any idea of were these cars could be going?

 

Unless they pull a switch on us almost everybody with some sort of credible inside source is saying...that's it. As I said on another board this tihng either had better be a lot cheaper than the 300C or a lot lighter than the 300C because if it's not nobody will buy it. They had a slight chance to sell them if it was a good looking car with the Charger name plate but an ugly four door...is going to tank badly.
Will say this though looks better with the front covered up.

 

yeah, i didn't even think about the weight...a 4200-lb charger is NOT going to fly, no matter how much HP they stuff in it

 

YUK,what was Dodge thinking?????After seeing the '99 show car this is a BIG dissapointment.

 

All I see is a 4-door mangum (minus the station wagon), it looks like the black one even has the magnum wheels.

 

Boy, that had better NOT be called Charger...............Magnum, yes......Charger, Oh HELL NO!

 

It'd be funny if this car is called a Magnum sedan & a Charger debuts as a coupe next year.

No, don't read into that.

 

You had to expect a sedan Magnum for fleet duty ...

Maybe it's a fool's hope, but with the positive reaction to the '99 concept, you have to imagine that Chrysler has a RWD coupe in the works. Chrysler seems to be pretty good at keeping cars under wraps the last couple of years.

Even if they call this one "Charger," I wouldn't give up hope. It seems to me, car manufacturers are much like movie studios. You don't see blockbuster hopefuls out the same weekend. So, Mustang first, then ...

It's about grabbing the spotlight for the segment.
