I think it looks like a cross between a 300C and a 2005 Mustang with a Durango front-end. That said, you're not alone in wanting one. I know a lot of people think it's ugly, but I love it.

...a tumor.It was supposed to look like this:Now it looks like this?Save your money, girl. If you have the need for a Hemi, get a 300m or a Magnum instead.

I like the modded versions, but stock I don't like it at all. The Hemi version and SRT-8 look pretty sweet! Here in SD I'm sure we're going to have plenty of Charger fans getting them in dark blue and putting big yellow bolts across them!

I definatly like the concept version of the Charger much better than the one that is comming out. It looks WAY TOO much like the 300C. The concept version has more of a Viper look to it with the doors the way they are and the rounded back end.

There is no information to substantiate a revival of the Camaro anytime soon...Don't hold your breath...

actually they are going to bring it back but under a new name and in about 3-5 years form now.same thing with the firebird. this is because GM has haulted their new Zeta (i think thats what it is) Platform for the new RWD Carmaro and Firebird to Focus on their Truck and SUV lines (i.e. give all Subrubans, Tahos, Youcons, and Trail Blazers a new Face lift with some extra plastic surgery else where.)

I love the '99 concept of the Charger that Zuben posted. It has many simiolarities withthe old Chargers. You can even see it in the taillights and side profile. The '68-'69 Chargers are my favorite muscle cars EVER so in my opinion this newly redesigned FOUR DOOR is rediculous and insulting to Charger fans.It's a descent looking mode of transportation for people that like to be the first one on the block to own the new car but there's no way in hell it can pass off as a Charger to a true muscle car enthusiast like myself.

Overall it's ok...it's growing on me. Mechanically I've got no complaints...I've got the 5.7L hemi in my Grand Cherokee and it's a great engine...the Magnum/Charger has less weight to haul around, and the transmission is a Benz unit with tighter gearing (lower ratios that are closer together) than the transmission in my Grand Cherokee. But there are a few things wrong with the look of it.- It sits too high. The gaps in the fenders are WAY too big...it just needs to be dropped about 1.5 inches...as it is, it just says "family friendly."- The taillights are all wrong. Same comment as before...family friendly. The front end of the car scowls a bit, but the (removed) looks too happy with those taillights...the (removed) should look angry. That's a tough one to fix without some custom surgery that would get expensive. Smoked lenses would help, but the basic shape and execution is still too happy and doesn't match the front end scowl.- I don't care much for the wheels. The car is almost screaming for two-piece wheels that have a black or charcoal center section mated to a polished lip. There's an 18 inch wheel on Dodge's website that has polished spokes and the area along the lip between all the spokes is black...nice try, but the lip needs to be polished and the center needs to be black. That would look sweet with the black, silver, white, orange, or yellow paint...not as good with the red, blue, or magnesium paint.- I'm ok with it being a 4 door, but Dodge should have tried to mask this better by hiding the handles. The handles should have been mounted horizontally in that big shoulder area above the side crease and right below the window. That would invite paint scratches from fingernails, but a factory application of 3M film on the handles would remove that issue.Overall the car is ok, and with some mods it would be really good.

Soldier you pretty much covered every problem I had with it. They should re-introducve the Dodge Rally wheels like in the original Charger. As far as height is concerned I think lowering it would look better and more aggressive but if you remember the original Chargers, they sat high off the ground too.
