Back looks OK to me. About the only thing I could possibly see changing are the tail lights to emphasize the round lenses inside and a 2005 GTO-ish black out rear bumper section.

Then again, this is a regular Charger R/T, not the Daytona or SRT-8.

I swear to god I love this car. I look at it and cannot figure out why people rip on it for being ugly.

Because it just isn't a Charger in any sense of the name.

I like how you slipped the Daytona in there without emphasising it.

The tail lights are probably like that in effort to capture some of the Dodge Intrepid owners' attentions. They killed the Intrepid off in 2004, so they need to have a replacement, and the Charger is it.

Re: something missing from the back of the charger???

i think every rear of all the dcx cars need something
they bring out the 300 with a totally different approach to the front, put the same bland taillights on back
charger, bland t/ls
jeep liberty, bland
they need to have some sort of variation from car to car

Why not call it an Intrepid then? It's pretty obvious that DCX changed the name of the next Intrepid to Charger because the killed the one that everyone liked.

The Charger is missing a lot. A sexy shape, for starters.

Re: something missing from the back of the charger???

They should have called it the magnum sedan. Intrepid is a good 2nd choice. I really liked the 99 concept. Too bad it de-evolved to this.
