I just think that the big black colored splotch up front was a bad move. Keep it body matching like the R/T and it'd look a lot better.

This car screams retro compared to the last one... which works in it's favour. Being original is overated, doing what is proven to be loved is always a smart move. I wish I had the money, because the more I look at this car... dare I say I might want a new SRT-8 Charger than a Challenger??

For the same money as the SRT, you could have a 3 year old 35K mile E63 AMG Benz that would run circles around the Dodge, hold its value much better, and you'd have a significantly better built car.
Not trying to ruffle any feathers, just making a counter-point.

I'm not arguing that Dodge is doing this on the cheap and there are few other choices for this market but with the SRT coming in around $39K and CTS-V at $65K that's about 69% more....a far cry from the twice as much as you're thinking.

Comparing used cars to new models is absurd. Personally, I'd rather have a new car with a full warranty and not have to pay for ridiculous MB repair bills. I swear this argument of "I'd rather have a used X" comes up in every single thread. This new SRT8 Charger fills a void in the market, I'm pretty sure no one at Dodge is sitting down saying "damn we are going lose a bunch of sales to 3 year old used MB E63's" LOL... Let's try and be realistic

Dodge dropping the cross hair grille in 2012. Not that its really news but may make the front look better on this one.
