They had the 300 ragtop in the works, but, I've never heard about a Charger vert until now.  Would be interesting to see.

  I've got a pack of new Saw-zall blades, I can make one into a convertible real easy, maybe 5 minutes.

Because Germans don't do anything half way, even when they screw up. When they botch something they botch it good and then try to convince the rest of world that it's not a mistake because the Germans did it and everyone must accept it. It's like the whole 'German engineering' crap that's been making the rounds in advertising for years, it a catch-phrase that means nothing.

Actually there's a great book by William Manchester called "The Arms Of Krupp" that attributes allot of the aura of superior German engineering to the great metal mined from the Ruhr Valley, which is really worth a read for a great many reasons.  :yesnod:

Not a book for the squeamish.  :rotz:

No, no, it means something!  It means godawful funny commercials!  "It's certainly sucking."  :P  do not / have never / will never own a vw, and those commercials actually make it LESS likely that I'll ever consider them, but they make great entertainment :P

It's not like it's a new idea.  Lincolns and I think Cadillacs had 4 door ragtops in the 60s.

Let me clear it up. I think most German nationals are arrogant, pompous, humorless, confrontational, stoic and indignant. Does that help?

Clinging to Stereotypes is a terribly negative reflection upon a person.  They lead to closed-minded foolishness for the most part.  A good portion of the rest of the world believes that most Americans are pompous, arrogant, thoughtless, fat, lazy, rich, powerful, stupid bastards - and they probably have valid reasons for making that association. I would hope that any time I deal with someone from another country or culture, they don't hold me to American sterotypes, regardless of how much some Americans have done to deserve them.

How hard would it have been to make it a two door?
It would have been a much more attractive vehicle IMHO..

But...I guess you could say that about the original coupe two....
Just out of interest,...opinion is quite negative about the "new" charger....do we mostly feel this because we want it to be more like the "old" charger...or because we just don't rate it as a car...?
Having never driven one or even seen one in the flesh I can't comment, but what I'm getting at is this..
Is the "New" Charger any worse than any of the offerings from Ford, GM, or any European Manufacturer? Is it a good "new" car?
:icon_smile_question:
Or do we dislike it because it isn't a 60's musclecar....which it never could be....

Lately I have to ask myself - if DCX put out a Dodge Stratus 2-door and 4-door - then why won't they do that with the Charger?

If they haven't yet, amid all the outcry of Charger enthusiasts world-wide?

Isn't the Challenger in 2009 a little to far down the road to ignore their base? That's a lot of sales they aremissing out on.
