Looks like a 4 door Magnum......

Its not bad looking..........but not a Charger by any stretch of the imagination.

 

The '99 Concept was made by under the the remains of the "old" Chrysler before Daimler completed their takeover, and the corperate direction changed.

After 1999 the Charger concept was put away, and wasn't really dragged out anywhere. It was supposed to be a sneak peek at the next RWD Intrepid replacement (initially due in 2001), but was stopped in it's tracks, along with a vault full of future Chrysler vehicles when Daimler slammed the door on them.

It's been no secret that the new Charger was based on the LX structure. The LX structure has a high beltline, therefore the Charger has a high beltline. Chrysler was very open about the sheetmetal being different from the 300. That means the skin would be different. In short, the car would be proportioned much like the Chrysler 300. There shouldn't be any shock or surprize to anyone here.

Though the body is right, we might wasnt to hold judgement to the exact look of the nose & rear end should be held in check till we actually have pictures. I have reason to believe the front isn't completely accurate, and that the whole car looks better than the drawing suggests.

 

Acutally the 99 Concept has been making a few apperiances lately. One I can think of was when the NHRA was in Denver.

This is why I was wondering what are the possibilites of this being the Enforcer. Also, it doesn't jive with the reports of the new Charger looking similar to the '99 and the statement by someone(forgot who) that said to the effect that it would have a "bottom breather grill".

 

No doubt, I can too, but I suppose I should qualify my statement with "pony" car/muscle car market. My point is, if a car looks good or looks like people expect it to look, it should sell.

 

I saw in a mag about "futur cars" a picture of the futur dodge magnum sedan...it looked like that.

 

There has been that rumor too that there will be a Magum Sedan. The only problem with that is nobody can really figure where a 4dr Charger would fit in that line. I have heard this rumor quite often.

 

If you cruise the Mopar sites....the response to this drawing has been completely underwhelming. Can't say that anyone is really hot for this car....if this is really the car.

But it's odd. Those who have seen the Charger.....and who have confirmed that it was Charger that they saw...claim the car is extremely swoopy and sporty.

This rendering may be many things.....but swoopy is not one of them.

 

very very bad looking imo
truck front end, 4 doors, and a blase rear :yuk:
the 99 concept was dead on what i thought the charger should look like (save for the 4 doors, but atleast you couldn't really tell it had them)

hey z284ever, what mopar sites have you been on?
i'm curious to see responses from some of those guys
