I hate the '06 Charger...

[Ponch ®]

well, not really. I kinda like it.

Just thought this wouldn't feel like "home" to some of you unless we had one of these threads.

It wouldn't really feel like the old site until there were about 50 of those threads.

I'm sorry but you'll have to adhere to the standardized I hate the '06 Charger posting form.   

Please remember that you must include a story about how you just happened to be strolling by the Dodge dealer and decided to look at a truck but there was a Magnum Sedan parked there so you just happened to walk by and then some silly salesman said something like "it's a hot car, want to check it out?" but you replied "hell no... Chargers got 2 doors - that thing sucks" and then the salesman magically shrinks to about 6 inches tall and says "yes, you're right", and then your child says "daddy, it's ugly.. that's not a Charger" and you say "let's get outta here - I have to go start a post about this" .

I was pulling into a favorite curb service hamber joint Saturday, when I saw a "new" Charger comming down the road. Made me so sick I lost my appitite (sp)
damn waste

then on the way home, I saw one on the road. I had to pull up close to it to see how ugly it was and to show the poor sap driving it what a REAL charger looks like. I revved up my engine and passed him, which made me feel a lot better about myself.

 "deadhorse.com"?

[Old Moparz]

Yes, one of my long time, personal favorite topics.

[kab69440]

Heeeere we go again...

[HalfastAMX]

I have to say that thing is pretty lame.

On a similar note:
Pontiacs new GTO isnt much looks wise, but itd spank that "charger"...........

[Silver R/T]

something we agree on

[694spdRT]

A friend of mine took a loaded 2005 Hemi Magnum in on trade at the dealership he works at. I am not looking to buy a car but, I stopped and took it out for a spin anyway. Now here is the weird part...I am starting to like the '06 Charger lokks much better than the Magnum. That front on the Magnum just doesn't do it for me once I got a close look.

Still won't buy a new Charger BTW...just not a Magnum either.  Maybe someday a 300C.     

[SeattleCharger]

  I saw a burnt orange '06 Daytona Charger a month or so ago, might of had a black stripe on it, anyone seen one of those?

Oddly, I just looked at this thread a couple days ago, while searching for another.

i dont really care for the car,but i sold 2 of them yesterday,and made almost 400,so i am happy

[Dodge-Charger]

You made $200 a car, who would pay $200 for it ?

The Magnum and that other thing look alike from the front, it's just something about the Magnum I like better. I think its the fact it dont have the Charger name on it.

[73dodge]

I kind of like em too.

Just disappointed they called it a Charger.

Wondering how many people on this site would like the car if it were called something else?

like  Coronet??

[TeeWJay426]

Still wouldn't like one enough to buy it.... just wouldn't be that offended and generally pissed off about it, though.

somehow he caught me at the next light.  He pulled up beside me, my dog got out and pissed on his tire, I gave him the finger and told him "real Chargers have 2 doors".  His Wife spit in his face, got out and jumped into my car.  I flipped him off again, told him to "go f**k himself" and filled the air with a plume of smoke as I left him at the light wiping off his face. 

Again, he managed to catch me at the next light (he must have one of those imaginary HEMI's under the hood) and as he pulled up he had a shocked look on his face as he could not see his ol' lady.  He asked me "where the hell is my Wife?"  Just then, she lifted her head from my lap and wiped her chin as I gave him the finger again and said "hey pal, nice Chagnum!"  My dog was flipping out in the back seat, barking and jumping up and down as we sped away, again leaving to smell my burnt rubber.

What the hell is going on here? 

Man, winter just started too.

[TheGhost]

If that was the case, then there wouldn't be any threads complaining about the car.  Coronet would have been a very fitting name.

Ghost are you driving around stalking new Chargers? Tell the truth, don't make it worse by lying.

Actually, I was going to turn a couple intersections farther down the street, but when I saw the Daytona, I decided to pull behind it and take some pics.


The Daytona was the SECOND new Charger I saw that day.  I also got a picture of the other one, but I was a little slow with the camera, as you can see.

[Johnny SixPack]

You sure that wasn't just someone's Galant? 

Something smells like it spent too much time on the tuna boat.

Either Orange Crush or Burnt70RT (sorry, not sure which one it was, I tend to identify people by what they drive, and they both have orange 70s)  can back me up, as they seen the original thread I made about it on Moparts.

[twilt]

another dead horse

[andy74]

hey ghost, when did you turn into such a whiny pussy?

lighten up its an ugly car,that some people like and some dont,not a personal crusade against you

[Nacho-RT74]

i dont really care for the car,but i sold 2 of them yesterday,and made almost 400,so i am happy

what did you have to say them to sell them ?

Maybe they thought were on Mitsubishi dealer to buy a Galant

[andy74]

during the nice weather i park the real charger right out front,with my real chargers dont have 4 doors license frame! right now she usually sits in the garage,behind the body shop

[Nacho-RT74]

OK... anyway it must be nice get $200 from every Creeded you sell... I have to job one and a half or 2 weeks ( with lucky ) to get that.

[andy74]

i would much rather sell used cars and new trucks and vans,they pay better.but in this bizz,you take what you get,cant be choosy! actually its funny,the guys all know i dont really like the car,and ive gotten 4 people in a week who wanted one.luck of the draw is all it is!

Dang Andy, that is some hot sales.   I sold cars at a Mazda dealership in the early nineties, the average sales of cars was not that great, mostly because there just weren't enough customers coming in.   

    Does the dealership send people interested in Chargers to you because they know you have a Charger?   You tell them yours still runs great, good car, quality built, something like that?  "I highly recommend the Charger" (even though I hate the new one, to yourself).    You must be a great salesman.

AllHipHop.com: In regards cars, I heard the 71' Charger is your favorite car.

Funkmaster Flex: I'll tell you what, I have one of those. The Charger is my first muscle car that I got, like ten years ago. So it's got a special place in my heart. I have a 70' Chevelle that's pretty tough. I got a couple of Fords. I got a 67' Ford Galaxy. Ugh, let me think. Let me go through my Fords first. I got two 69' Mustangs, a 76' Torino, a 71' Torino, a 66', 67', 69', 70', 71', 73' Chevelle, two 68' Camaros, two 69' Camaros, a 65' Impala, a 63' Impala, a 69' GTO, a 69' Charger. I just copped a 69' Nova today. That's what I've just been doing all day, making sure this wire transfer goes through.

AllHipHop.com: How do you feel about Dodge reintroducing the Charger?

Funkmaster Flex: Um, a Charger is not supposed to have four doors. That's the part that's never sat well with me. The new Mustang, I think, is the new muscle car of the last two years. It captures old style of muscle cars.

[andy74]

yeah, we do get a lot of ghetto thugs in looking at the 06s,and its not color biased-just punk attitude,but when we sell them,its usually to an older male or couple,because they can afford it.

actually sales of the 06 just started kicking in here,probably because we have had such a mild winter.like ive said in the past,i dont like em,but its what puts food on my table!

ghost,i am just busting your balls,dont take it personal!

It's all the incentives.

[6pkrunner]

GM is trying desparately to wean its customers off the incentives. They are dropping the MSRP. However, consumers like the employee's pricing and its going to be hard for them to get clear of it.

[andy74]

the funny thing is the chargers and magnums sell with little or no incentive(1000 if you finance with cfc,at a higher rate then most banks)while the trucks,durangos and vans need a big cah allowance.chrysler started the lower price deal on the 05 caravans,a comparable equipped 05 grand sxt was about 2500 less than a 04! its a good idea,but people still want to see the rebates,just a fact of modern day car sales
