They're using this to replace the Intrepid instead of going for a niche market.

Shame, THey should be going after the Mustang.

Geez, it sure doesn't look like a "Charger". But it does make my 2001 Camry look sporty.

I don't understand why American car makers insist on making narrow, boxy looking cars. I wish they would take a cue from the Europeans(at least the exotic car makers) and make their cars a bit wider. I bet if that new Charger were a foot or so wider it would look meaner and slightly better. I stretched the pics a tad:

Granted it wouldn't improve the boring 'Enterprise rent a car' design by much, but it wouldn't look as dumpy as it currently does either.
Let the car breath a little, widen that sucker out I say.

It is fugly IMO which is disappointing given the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum which look great (again JMO). What they need to do is drop a Viper V-10 (or better yet the Merc V-12 twin turbo) into the 300...

That first concept image is much better than this one. Who cares if it is a niche market. The mustang seems to be pretty popular, and i don't see dodge trying to compete with that (the viper doesn't count if no one can afford it).

The width of the production Charger is greater than a Corvette's (74.5" vs 72.6"); I can't imagine adding another foot. What it really needs:
a) a lower profile (a height of 58.2" puts it just 0.2" lower than a Chrysler 300 )
b) reduce the curb weight (it's portly at 4031 lbs. )
c) reduce the wheelbase (same as the Chrysler 300 at 120" )
d) should be a coupe (four doors say "I'm practical and family friendly" )
e) a revised front fascia (has a truck-like front end presently )
f) manual transmission (only available in automatic at this time )

Another picture, guess I am the only one that likes the new look.

And I'll take mine with one of these, thank you very much.

Worse than the 69..... Better than the 84.

Daimler could have done worse. Now onto the Duster!

 

[Gary->dee]

Are they planning on bringing back the Plymouth Duster?? I remember back in the 80's they had a turbo Duster. I had a green '75 as my first car.

guess I am the only one that likes the new look

Apparently!
It ain't easy my eyes that's for sure. The orange job looks like a Halloween pumpkin. Hey maybe...
The New Dodge Pumpkin
(sorry couldn't resist!)

The 6.1 L Hemi is already in the SRT8. That should suffice.

that's pretty sweet. I also like the new mustang.

Went to the LA autoshow and saw the new ford gt - that was one nice car.
