I keep hoping it's a lie, that's all. Since it's a 4dr SEDAN it can't be a Charger. It just can't. DC wouldn't make a blunder like that would they? Maybe they would, but I can't help hoping it ain't so.

Well I think competing in the NASCAR circuit has prompted this design..
From the sounds of it, it was developed knowing the new rule changes for the NEXTEL cup as well as the public.
Nice looking car none-the-less.

IDK, its not so bad. Even tho it lookes like every other dodge...
And yes DODGE IT SHOULD BE A 2 DOOR YOU BUNCH OF SLACK JAWED IDIOTS! DON'T YOU RETARDS LOOK AT THE OLDER CARS!?
I mean come on, GM listened to the sound of an old GTO to try to make the new one sound like it. and it does, sounds like my Tri-Power Goat.

Darn right. IDK why I like em, maybe because they look like a 66 fastback. Srry fellas, I just plain love American Muscle in general. To me theres nothing quite like the rumble of a Big Block, or the Bark of a Cummins Turbo Diesel
Love to Detroit,

They had it right with the GTO, then they designed the body. And they made a turd.
Then they looked at logisitics and made it in Australia.
Then they marketed it and managed to sell none.
Bunch of morons there. GTO was a disaster.
The new Mustangs and Corvettes were right on with their old-school designing. I was hoping that the Charger would at least look retro, then all three would be back in the good old styling days.
I just hate these new-style rounded-body/ chiseled look piece of crude. You need straight fenders, rounded back ends, and I don't know exactly, but there haven't been good looking vehicles since 1980...

THIS is what the Charger was SUPPOSED to look like according to Dodge's Concept Car pages.

SUPER CHARGED
Along with the name, we also brought back the heritage that made Charger R/T a legend. This concept car advances four-door style into an entirely new dimension. True to the original muscle car form, Charger R/T, with its low, thrusting hood, has a powerful V8 matched with a five-speed manual transmission that drives the rear wheels. The front grille and lamps look menacing. The body is taut. The rear deck with spoiler, and the fascia with sly-looking taillamps and twin exhaust outlets, all signify a vigorous departure from the past. In true retro form, 1966 meets the millennium. One look at the radio ***** and three-spoke steering wheel will confirm that. The pistol-grip shift lever adds to the feeling.
Throughout this interior past and future, street and racing are balanced. Exposed metal is emphasized -- but the front and rear bucket seats are made of carbon fiber and have red leather accents. Because the Charger R/T is supercharged, the 4.7-liter SOHC, 16-valve, V8 engine has the kind of ferocity that results in 325 horsepower.
A far cry from the pics shown at the begining of this thread.
