Default New Charger...

Idk if this is supposed to go here or not, but I figure racers have the best opinions on this lol...
What do you guys think about the 2006 charger coming out? Personally.. I think its just nasty looking and I hear from alot of people that it really isnt going to be that fast. Whats your guy's opinions?

I just saw one yesterday on the way home. I thought it was the ugliest thing next to the magnum. I really didn't even know it was the charger since both that and the magnum look the same. The only reason I knew it was a charger, was that I let it go by just so I could see what it was. So apparently someone was lucky enough to pick it up yesterday instead of today(no dealer plates).

Agree its not the best looking design, but what can they do with four doors? They shouldnt have named it a charger. Should have just made it a trim level on the magnum or 300 nameplate.

Looks aside, I like the functionality. Plenty of room to stretch out, rides like a dream, handles better than expected for the size, and has some ***** laying down the power.

its just a non hatchback magnum.

even has a v6 option....


to bad they built it to sell it to the average joe family man, and not to uphold the cars name....but we all knew they couldnt make it better then the viper.

The charger will now be known as a retarted *** slow 4 door, kids growing up will not realise what it once was

I saw it at the auto show in Toronto, they had it in that ugly red color. I saw one today on a transport truck it was a sliver. I think it looked a lot better then the red one they are marketing. I don't like the fact it is a four door they wrecked the Charger name. I got an idea they should use the new Charger in the new Dukes of Hazzard movie! Well thats my two cents.

Ugly as hell and I agree they shouldn't have named it the Charger, thats just disrepesctful to its previous version. Looking for one to run since I just got my car back and have seen at least four already.
