The New Charger

[quentin]

Hey, this was probably discussed in the past, before I was posting.  But I was pretty disappointed with the new issue Dodge Charger that came out a couple years ago.  Don't get me wrong, it's a cool car in it's own right.  I've seen some that look very, very good.  But I hate that they didn't give props to the muscle design - like we've seen done so much better with the mustang and challenger.  I really believe that if they would have made something that resembled the 1970 body style, and priced it beginning at around 20k for the base model - we'd be seeing them all over the road.

I hope Detroit reads this thread, and gets a new body style out in 2010!

If they are still around....don't get your hopes up.

I take it this has been a bad topic in the past?

If I recall correctly it was brought once before in the past three years and there was one other guy that didn't like it and the members here ran him outta town.

I'd let it go as it is history now.

    Dodge made a new Charger ? ? ?

[Magnumcharger]

No...they made a new Monaco....but the jobber in charger of the nameplates was sick the day he got the order, but accidently took too much Vics Nyqwill, and had a mental break.

[Ghoste]

Ah, a fresh topic for discussion.

Actually, even though I still don't like the styling I'm not going to throw rocks at the new anymore.  We live in screwy times so we get screwy cars.

Where do you live? I see them everywhere.

And I'm sure Detroit is not reading your message. Remind me again how many Chargers have been sold to date?

Hahahahah .....I think it's funny because - here in Australia - we'd love to see ANYTHING new from Chrysler or Dodge and in particular a new Dodge Charger. I was lucky enough to be over there at the Nats last year and - whilst I'd love it to be a 2 door - I found the Chargers I saw to look great and actually drove one for a couple of weeks.

I'd have a new Charger tomorrow.

FWIW, if they are around in 2010 and if they do decide to restyle it then, I think it's a pretty safe bet that it'll remain a four door sedan.  There may be the usual taillight and grille tweaks along with a bit of rebend on the body panels but don't expect them to stray far from the formula.  They have a two door niche car for the specialty market, it's the everybody needs one (or two) car they want to sell.

[BigBlackDodge]

Your opinion of the new Charger is fine..............as long as you have say nothing negative about it around here.

I think screwy thinking has been around for awhile.

A 77 Chrysler Cordoba is OK I guess, but I still don't think Dodge should have put Charger emblems on it.

NEW CHARGER FOR PRESIDENT!

See, that's my thing.  As I said in the first message, the new body style is a cool enough car in it's own right.  In fact, it's kind of tough looking.  But it's adopted, not biological.  Same last name - different genetics.

I'd send them all to you if it were up to me, Peter.

There is no market for two-doors.

Hey, that was almost my car.

There is no market for two-doors.

[Silver R/T]

magnum sedan is decent car, some ignorant people called it Charger, not sure why. This is one of the reasons why Chrysler is going down with the Ford and Chevy, lack of good design team. It would be risky to buy chrysler product right now, once the go out of business who will be selling parts for them.

Why not, its a great looking car worthy of the charger nameplate. + it only has two doors!

Hell, this car is not just worthy of the charger nameplate, but also the daytona nameplate
