Witness the sedan with coupe-like styling. But a truck front end?? And people thought the Chevy "chrome bar" was getting carried away.

And maybe I'm just not a MOPAR guy, but where are the cues to the original? The blacked-out hood and trunk??

I totally agree.... the Dodge "plus sign" grille is more out of hand than the "Chevy Spear"... and I'm not really a fan of the spear either...

All I can say is . . . I hope this isn't "the real thing."

Yuck. Barf. Arg. Crap. This is truly, truly hideous.

Re: Good Charger drawing in C&D this month..

all they did was graft the front of a Magnum with the rear of a Intrepid
and those red-stripes are a little too much, imo

Re: Good Charger drawing in C&D this month..

It's sad too...because the concept was "sleek"...this is just the opposite. the side coves are gone and it really looks like fascia model engineering.

Slap a HEMI in it and a bullseye grille and walla, a new model....aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!

To bad, IF this is really it, I had hopes for much better.....

forgot to add: DCX needs to call up Kris Horton, FAST!!!

I mean, sometimes i think they intentionally ugly-down the Dodges as not to upstage M-B

Wow, that's absolutely lousy. How did they manage to mess that up with all the nice concepts going around??

Re: Good Charger drawing in C&D this month..

So much for a modern interpretation over a "retro" one. That's two cars now that people don't like the looks of (GTO and Charger) and both are modern...I guess the Mustang is going to be a big hit

Re: Good Charger drawing in C&D this month..

looks like a family sedan with 70's styling:blah: (nothing wrong with the 70's styling, its just on the wrong car )

all i can do is hope that isnt the real thing, id rather have a 300C with bolt-ons over that.

I can also list a score of non-retro cars that are selling like hotcakes...

Re: Good Charger drawing in C&D this month..

There have been insiders saying that this is the Charger, but I am kind of skeptical. I think this car looks too much like the 300 cars and the Charger was suppose to look totally different then the Magnum and 300 cars. Isn't that what the Enforcer was suppose to be? I still wonder if that is what this car is and we still havn't seen the Charger. Can anyone explain why Chrysler has been draging around the 99 concept if this is what the Charger is suppose to look like?
