2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 392 HEMI
"This is it. It's the new Dodge Charger SRT8, and like its lesser-powered sibling, it gets entirely new sheet metal for the 2012 model year. But the changes aren't just skin deep. Under the hood, there's a new 6.4-liter HEMI V8 heart delivering more horsepower and torque than the 6.1-liter HEMI V8 it replaces. Heaping a dose of higher horsepower and sleeker design on a four-door sedan that's already a fan favorite? Yes, please."

Looking very very nice. If I had a family and needed a 4 door, I would pick this up in a heart beat.

I think it looks great + It's *American*
I like how they Fixed the tail lights out back,
And it looks like the intake will get good airflow with all that Grill up front

It looks ******* awesome. Pretty similar to the Aussie school of muscle car design you see in HSV and FPV cars.
Also, there's no other game in town in the US for what Dodge charges. A CTS-V is going to be nearly twice as much money.

Obviously anyone would take a CTS-V over this... kind of a dumb argument. Your comparing a $70k sedan to a $45k. I highly doubt any CTS-V buyers will look to the charger as an alternative (think M5 or AMG's).
They really need to do the entire front bumper in the body color, as already stated, looks like a damn evo. Not really digging the wheels either, but that is not as big of a deal. Of course, this could be one of those cars that look much better in person (kind of how the GTR was for me). Does anyone know if this is getting the 8 speed auto as well?

My point is that at it's price there are no other alternatives if you want a car like this - unless you have an extra 30k+ burning a hole in your bank account.

Budget must have run out because the body lines approaching the rear of the car bear no resemblance to the front. Looks ok for the front driver/passenger doors, then it just peters off into flatness... I feel like they could have carried style through all the way to the back (My nitpicking).

Sorry I wasn't referring to your post, I was aiming at the posts above yours where everyone is implying that the CTS-V is an alternative to the '12 charger. I don't see them being competitors at all
