The 1st gen was really a coronet with a fastback

Ahh the ignorance.... Cosmetically between the '66/'67 Charger and '66/'67 Coronet just the doors, bumpers, front fenders, and hood will interchange with some modification.

How did this post get so off topic?

I think they just might redesign it for 2008 or 2009 but who knows. My eye is on the Challenger.

Not ignorance, just indifference.  Not trying to bespeak your superior knowledge on it.  Its what the collector books described it as. And from first hand experience a 67 used to park next to me everyday at school, the rear fenders,trunk and roof are all fastback.  I liked the rear seat design.  It had a big motor, and was different at the time, and it hauls that is all that counts.

When I go off topic I try to lead it back.  I wouldn't expect a redesign so soon, the sales haven't been too crappy so it will probably have a decent run, they've already done what little damage they could do, they'll live with it.  It really isn't a bad looking sedan, I think it looks better than the 300, it would have been a great satellite, sebring, or coronet, looks more like one of those anyway.  cosmetic changes for a few years and after 4 or 5 years it will get a facelift.  They could make a 2 door as an optional car but somehow i doubt it is gonna be drastically redesigned just to make us happy.  Doesn't make any difference we aren't getting rid of the ones we have and I can't fit anymore in my garage anyway.    
69 RT/SE Y3 cream yellow w/tan vinyl top and black r/t stripe. non matching 440/375, 3:23, Column shift auto w/buddy seat, tan interior, am/fm w/fr to back fade, Now wears 17" magnum 500 rims and Nitto tires. Fresh repaint, new interior, new wheels and tires.

Jeeeeeees....will someone please creamate this bludgeoned horse???   Some like it....most don't......we all have different tastes in cars.   Some prefer the '66-'67 first generation cars.   They are great looking cars not a thing wrong with them.  '68  thru '70  second generation cars were kick ass cars too.    '71  thru '73  were also kick-ass.   These are all beautiful cars.  Why  should we get into an opiniated argument over which is the best? It's the issue about if you have the car that you like best is what counts, or what car you wish you had  what counts.  I prefer second generation myself, however, I'm not going to put down a person who likes any of the others.   If you like the newer Chargers....cool!!!   It doesn't make you any less of a person.   You say "tomato"....I say "tomahto"......now  can we move it along please and just all get along  and play nice?

I feel your pain, Brock.  It just never ends.

You have six posts in this thread - of course it will never end.

Just an observation but why in several different posts are the 1966 to 1973 Chargers being called the "real" Chargers?  Last time I checked 1974 was included in the chosen group.  ???
1968 Charger 383 auto
1969 Charger R/T 440 4 speed
1970 Charger 500 440 auto
1972 Challenger 318
1976 W200 Club Cab 4x4 400 auto 
1978 Ramcharger 360 auto
2001 Durango SLT 4.7L (daily driver)
2005 Ram 2500 4x4 Big Horn Cummins Diesel 6 speed
2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.7 Hemi

That's just how anal retentive people think that their cars are the best and nobody elses are.   However....I believe the little 2.2 litre 1980s Chargers they came out with shouldn't be considered Chargers.  Those were butt ugly!!!

I get that but if a 1973 is considered acceptable how does a 1974 not qualify?
1968 Charger 383 auto
1969 Charger R/T 440 4 speed
1970 Charger 500 440 auto
1972 Challenger 318
1976 W200 Club Cab 4x4 400 auto 
1978 Ramcharger 360 auto

2005 Ram 2500 4x4 Big Horn Cummins Diesel 6 speed

I'm sure "Dr. Z" will screw up the '08 Charger too. At least we can enjoy the 2008 Mustang GT's subtle but awesome changes. you really can't compare the Stang to the horrible Durango, I mean "Chargers" front end design.

'71's-'74's were the 3rd Gens

I think they meant that the '75-'79 Chargers as the ones not being chargers.
when racing deals fall apart.....you go home, like me.

Agreed...I just found it funny several posts from different members kept leaving out 1974 models.

I've always liked this shot, too bad the gathering was a one time thing only for the press, since the car was never produced.

That took about ten seconds, I'm over it now.  ;D

Yes. It looks the interlock and full seatbelt system makes 74 non a charger anymore LOL
