I remember seeing a concept Charger several years ago. I waited a bit, but nothing further ever came of it. I'm so glad I didn't wait longer........that Charger looks like crap. Dodge is picking up right where they left off after discontinuing the 80's Charger. Very disappointing.

I thought they were going to be making the Charger as a smallish sport coupe with a small V-8 that was supposed to lay down about 330ish Ponies. How did we end up with this piece of junk that's shown in the link above instead of this:

Yup partyman, that's pretty much the car that I was expecting too, not the bloated 4 door that they are now planning on releasing.

Dodge's designs have really been disappointing lately.
For a company that made their name in the 60's and 70's by being the bad-boy of car designers and always coming out with some wild new style for their new cars......They haven't really produced anything too interesting in since the Viper/Prowler of the 90's.


The are supposed to be releasing a coupe version of the Dodge Magnum this year as well. I wonder if that thing will be a bit mor attractive looking than the boxy wagon. Unfortunately, they also said that it was unlikely that they would be releasing this car with a manual transmission.

They lost Bob Lutz to GM. Nuff said.

Man, if it boiled down to a choice of either/or, whoever made that decision better pack up his stuff. What were they thinking?!

It seems like all Dodge is doing is sticking a Hemi (no differentiation between different Hemi motors) into anything and expecting it to sell.

I don't care if it's got a Hemi, if it looks like a box of Girl Scout cookies, I'm not going to buy the car.
