i thought the original concept was alright, the actual charger lacks in personality, but the photoshop with the viper style wheels and the body mods looks pretty cool, even as a four door........but that's just me, and i've been dropped on my head a few times......

I also find it a bit ironic a site full of GM fans is bashing Chrysler for making a four door Charger when GM themselves started making a four door Impala SS in 1994 that everyone fell all over themselves for (many have posted in this thread I bet). The icing on the cake is it was just a black Chevrolet Caprice, at least Chrysler gave the Charger it's own unique body. Let's not forget about the Mercury Marauder either.
More muscle is always better than no muscle, and a little door variety is nice.

too sedan like for me, I think the new Mustangs look 10x better which is probably why they have always sold so damn good. Lets just hope that the next camaro actually looks like a sports car and not a sedan

I was sick when I saw the new charger. I always liked the old chargers and was excited when I saw the concept. And I was going to hold off buying my SS in hopes the Charger was coming out soon. Now I'm glad I didn't wait. Seems like dodge screwed the charger away like GM did the GTO. I'll I can say is please God don't let them screw up the new camaro.

I think they made 4 door Impalas before 94

Anyway, Dodge had to be VERY careful with what they applied the Charger name to (such as Chevrolet not using the Chevelle moniker yet), and I feel they screwed up. Even Coronet would have been more fitting. Oh well - I hope it flops.

Want a two door? I'd guess a few years Dodge will kick one out...if theres a strong enough demand..
Personally I like the 4 door ...but I won't be trading in my Z06 for one....just admiring the Charger, Magnum and 300C (especially the SRT8 versions)
Chryslers on a strong roll. I don't anticipate them to lighten up...(again just an opinion)
Keep the faith and realize the money today is made in four door sedans and SUV's..
Its pretty unusual that 2 doors have any length of profitability..
Still if the rwd hemi cars are a continued success...I'd take a shot at believing a convertible and a coupe will be made available...

I can't wait to see how the new Camaro will be a "disgrace" to the name (like the 4th gens. were the epitome of exciting styling) and how GM "screws it all up". People will find something wrong with it, whine incessantly about it, and it will be music to my ears.

The current FWD models must be so bad they don't even come up in this thread, even though the V8 SS is going to the Charger R/T's direct comeptition.
Either way, I like the Charger for what it is, but it certainly shouldn't be wearing the name.

The thing that kills the car for me is the "I'm an SUV and I'm trying to look like a car" look. It doesn't look car like. It looks like a SUV with an identity crisis. An AWD version of that just says to me "crossover". Look at the proportions of the nose and it is just like a Dakota. If you raised it a couple inches...I don't know what it would be, but it sure would look more like an SUV then a car.

It seems like car companies always ruin cars when they bring them back, like the Monte Carlo, Thunderbird, Impala, the GTO is all right, but how are they going to make the Charger a 4 door family lookin like car with a truck front end, just my .02
