doesn't look too bad.

[VTEC_Junkie]

Does anyone know if this thing will be built on the 300 frame? It looks like it probably will be from the pic

[Mad$ella]

i dont really like the look, kinda looks like the new station wagon, the Hemi one.

[benyl]

Built on the LX platform just like the 300 (300C) and the Magnum.

[M_Power]

i still think it should be a coupe, not a sedan, since it is using the charger nameplate.

exactly, it would be really cool to see the R/T nameplate again...

but you know what this means??

this means that they are gonna do a new "Dukes"...with like Luke Wilson and Ben Stiller, as Bo and Luke...

Holy shit. I was just watching MTV Cribs and they were showing celebrities cars. Funk's charger is the shit. I usually dont like muscle cars but that car is off the hook. And this new one looks like a big pile of shit.

[ex1z7]

reminds me of something Mercedes, old style... Sort've...

Weird looking - not exactly my thing but whatever :)

Front end looks awkward but other than that it looks mean.

[izzoblitzo]

For some reason, it reminds me of a mix between the new Mustang and the Chrysler 300

ya and whats with the 4 doors?

[1badPT]

My least favourite of the new DC's :dunno:

[Mr. Burns]

I like the back end, but that is it. The interior does NOT go with the exterior styling at all. . I love the 300c tho.

[BMDUBS]

The back door area is so fuckin ugly!:barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:
the car in general is just plain nasty!

[toyboy88]

looks like dodge's version of the 300c, but for me i love the 300c wayyyyyy more :D

[BerserkerCatSplat]

2 worst features:

1) 4 doors.

2) big plastic cover on engine. It's a Hemi, don't try to cover it up. I'm not afraid of valve covers, why hide them?

[Benny]

And of course, they cram the hemi in yet another bland sedan. Way to bury a legend. :thumbsdow

[JordanLotoski]

whats happening with all the coupes...that would have been so hawt as a 2 door

[chrgr]

The Chief Engineer of the new Dodge Charger will be taking questions in a live chat on Thursday night 9pm ET/6pm ET. Chat with Burke Brown, Chrysler Group's Chief Engineer of the Rear-wheel-drive Platform Team, about the all-new 2006 Dodge Charger. http://www.edmunds.com/townhall/chat/dodgechargerchat011305.html (no registration needed for the chat)

[Moe Man]

magnum front and 300c/ intripeid rear

looks mean but basicly another 300c, they need to make a 2 door with black interior :thumbsup:

The Hemi is getting raped by Chrysler. We already have 1 Hemi sedan, and two wagons (300C wagen is available in Europe) a Hemi truck (Ram), a big Hemi SUV (Durango) and several midsize ones (the lineup of Jeeps). Last thing we need is another Hemi sedan.

To make the Hemi what it really is, they need to make a Charger V6, Charger Hemi, and Charger SRT-8 Hemi. The SRT8 should be labelled as R/T because it is most powerful (even though original R/Ts were all Hemis, the base Hemi is nowhere near as cool as the SRT8).

An SRT8 coupe? A C6 rival available for similar price and possibly more luxury.:thumbsup:

[DonJuan]

Charger sedan = uber ghey. The 300C is pimp. Why don't they just throw the Hemi in the Crossfire platform and call it the Charger (with a few non-mercedez styling of course!)?

I do like the idea of Mrs. Lachey in Daisy Dukes though... :drool: :love:

[BumpinTalon]

this new charger is the ugliest car Chrysler has rolled out yet... all their new ones are so nice, but this one just broke that nice little winning streak.

[three.eighteen.]

if they just kept the magnum front end and added like a cool front bumper it would have looked better

[Hollywood]

:barf: :barf: :barf: What an abombination.

[finboy]

ghey :thumbsdow

[toyboy88]

50 cent now says he wants the first charger...

like snoop dogg and the 300c, personally it looks like a peice of shit knock off of the "300c on steriods"

Doesn't look too good either. Sorry but that car wouldn't look good in the early 70's let alone 2005. The roofline is okay even if it rips off the Mustang but the front & rear ends are so homely you swear that Subaru or Pontiac designed them.

[1badPT]

This is probably the one thing I'll agree with heavyD on. This is not proper treatment of legendary car. They lost me as soon as they decided it should be a 4 door, but the fact that they didn't even do much of a redesign from the 300C means this is disgraceful version of the Charger.
