They are dead, they do not make much of a profit. Pretty much every coupe sans the Ford Mustang and expensive imports has struggled in this country.

That Charger concept looked good ,damn good. So , of course it was completely doomed to make production. The production Charger is not exciting , it just looks like a sedan.

I like the concept one, except the front end needs to be a little more muscley. its too narrow... reminds of that ugly BMW sports car they had a while back.

I can definitely see the Charger in the styling. It has a very similar overall shape to the originals, but yet it's not retro. I can appreciate that. The concept was still better though.

That thing has too many doors. The concept hid the extra doors and made them tolerable. This thing looks like a turd.

They had a huge banner on the side of a building outside the Detroit Auto Show that with a pic of the new Charger on it. Underneath the car it read "Real Muscle Cars Have A Hemi."

Obviously they think we're really stupid.

It's a billion times better than the 06 V8 Impala SS. The more I see the more I warm up to it.

Is there something wrong with me?

I don't think it looks bad. I just don't think it should wear the Charger name.

That car looks so much better as a Wagon... they should have left it that way.

It's not gonna take too much to make it look dope though; something like these pics should make it more palatable, with 2 or 4 doors.....i think just changing the stance/wheels/and the little spoiler would make a huge difference:

4 door....why even put the charger name behind it, they defeated all purpose, no muscular looks, just looks like the 300c....but worse.... 05 GTO>05 srt-8 300c>06 Charger>05 Mustang GT(only because of power... are the last 2 the way they are)
