The New Charger

[skip68]

Hey, did you guys hear that Dodge was going to make a new Challenger ?  I think it will be on the market in 2007 or 2008.

I can't believe this thread has lasted 24 hours!   

Granted... I haven't had to go through the past fights, but I think it's been a just fine thread.  Slightly snarky, sure.  But not without valid and disagreeing opinion expressed from both sides.  Lock it?  Hell no!  I'm actually glad to know that there are charger die-hards that love the new body.  I may not like it myself, but to each their own.

There is also a site pretty much solely for the new Charger  You would get more answers on Old Chargers here. Most of the questions for the new Charger have been directed to the Dealership

LOL - well I love this forum for it's old charger talk, assistance, and good readin'.  Very dynamic, and fun.  People here have helped me a lot, and I'm grateful.

I'm sorry the thread was a sore spot to tender wounds!  Just curious of the thoughts on the model, and now I know all I ever wanted.  This will be my last post in the thread.  Unless, of course, if someone pokes at me - in which case I will poke back strictly for my own entertainment.

When I see the pics of the discocharger and the omnicharger, it reminds me of a debate I had with Chris G. quite a ways back.  I was defending the 4th and 5th gen Chargers saying that each one was the right Charger for it's time.  One in an era of cocaine and disco with inflation and Elvis dying Mustang II's and Trans Ams that were all about tape stripe performance.  The other car came from a time of imposed fwd econoboxes and Cyndi Lauper with multicolored hair and Boy George.  IIRC, Chris stated they were unworthy junk and my argument was that they were all the Charger Dodge was able to give us in their respective eras but the new Eurocharger could have/should have been so much more.
I recant my earlier argument somewhat and I'll say that even though I still think the Discocharger and the Omnicharger were the representive Chargers of their day, the new Eurocharger is representive of it's time as well.  It may not be the perfect car for me but I don't look at BMW's and such either even though it's a popular vehicle.

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

Hell I agree!



You KNEW I had to get in here somewhere

[greenpigs]

  If I had loads of money like the guy above this post I would be driving a black SRT Charger as it helps hide the extra set of doors.

[chargerjy9]

the Charger for 2011 still has 4 doors,yes. But, the new design is pretty cool none the less. it is much more agressive looking. it has enough styling cues from gen 1 or gen 2 Chargers to make it immediately recognizable as such. As a gen 3 Charger owner, I absolutely hated that Chrysler dropped the namelate on the current model. The b body Charger is my favorite car and has been since I first saw a new 1966. I know what the new proposal looks like as I work there and have worked on the clay model since it's inception. I can only hope that mopar will survive and be able to produce the new LD

You can't drop an insider bomb like that and not expect us to just wait.

 is "LD" the new model designation like LX LH B Body etc?..

LD is Dodge Charger, LX is Chrysler 300. I retired from there last week and I took a good long hard look at the LD before i walked out the door. I liked the car that much that I wanted a last impression of it.

[Charger_Fan]

Sounds like it might be kinda cool, then.

[jb666]

There is no market for two-doors.

I totally agree, the Challenger is HOT!!!

[quapman]

My woman gets mad when you make fun of her car.

[BigBlackDodge]

She has a nice Third Gen Charger there!

what ? Bull didn't float on here yet ? LOL

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!   

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.

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

oh no no... missed this reply LOL


BTW I think this topic already deserves its own board section
