4 DOOR NEW CHARGER HATERS, GIVE ME HONEST OPINIONS

[skip68]

OK, we all know the disappointment with the look of the new Charger.  Although it's definitely getting better.  IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE, Give an HONEST opinion and pick one of the 3.
Top?
middle?
Bottom?

[Cooter]

TOP!!!!

[skip68]

I know this is a dead horse but it just won't quit.  I'm just curious what the choice would be if a poll was done.  It'd be interesting to see what the new Charger lovers would pick also.   

[JB400]

TOP!!!!

I second that !!!!

[cdr]

top,even though it looks like my iroc z that had sex with a corvette

[Ghoste]

Top.

[skip68]

I like the top also.  I do see a lot of Chevy "Corvette" also.   

[JB400]

Whose going to be the first  one to get an 02-04 Intrepid, shove a 392 Hemi 6 speed in it, and build a replica of this thing?
Yes, I know this car has compressed nat gas.

[bull]

Could you look around the net a little and try to find a crappier #2 pic before I make my choice please?

[1970Moparmann]

Top.

[Daytona R/T SE]

The top one is the best looking of the three shown...


But, The correct answer is "None of the above."

[marshallfry01]

What??? That top one is the ugliest of them all. Definitely the middle one. The red and orange ones are sweet looking for a four door. That first one is just straight up ugly though. Lol

[1974dodgecharger]

none of the above...thank you.

[68X426]

I don't have to choose, honestly.

Boo to all three, especially the drunk second one.

If it has to have 4 doors I'll take a 300. Honestly.

[twodko]

Same same.

[Nacho-RT74]

none

[Ghoste]

Maybe you should have asked the four door Charger lovers?

[HeavyFuel]

Could you look around the net a little and try to find a crappier #2 pic before I make my choice please?

 

My thoughts exactly.

[Nacho-RT74]

what Charger ?

[Benji]

This one. 

Benji

[ODZKing]

Yeah, I like the St Regis on the top   

[Tilar]

Are there front and rear views of the top one? Benji has the right idea though.

[moparstuart]

This one. 

Benji

they did make this one it was called a Stratus 

[Dino]

Sorry Skip, I can't pick one.  I'll stick to my 4 door Honda.

[Fred]

I don't have to choose, honestly.

Boo to all three, especially the drunk second one.

I"m on your side there. 300 wins out by a long shot.

[skip68]

Sorry for the crappy pictures.   

[68X426]

I take the Plum Crazy 69.

Like Ghoste said, ask the 4 door lovers the question. Leave us alone. 

[Fred]

What's that red thing in the front? 

[Cooter]

 At least the damn thing on top actually has SOME appeal. More than what's out there right now. It could use another front end/grille, but that looks ALOT closer to the original than the cracker box/Intrepid sh*t that's out there now. A little tweak here and there by the aftermarket, and I can see some pretty badass Charger's being built from #1. Kinda like how the "Firebird"/"Trans Am" looks better than the Camaro today?

[Bobs69]

The one on top has a corvette emblem on the fender.  At least it looks that way to me.

[Cooter]

I see a faint R/T..

I don't see either (corvette emblem or R/T..) 

[Indygenerallee]

#1 was cool back in 1999 I remember getting a close up look at it at the Mopar Nats.

[Gary42]

[1969chargerrtse]

what Charger ?

[1969chargerrtse]

Thought there was really a new look out there so I went to the Dodge site.  Nope.  but I love the tail lights. Kinda looks like 69 Super Bee meets 66/69 charger.

[Indygenerallee]

The tail lights do look bitchin' at night!! 

[Charger454]

That original '99 concept Charger looks like a 4 door Avenger from that era

[1974dodgecharger]

What's that red thing in the front? 

a corvette?

[myk]

Not a hater so can I respond?  The top car, the 4 door CNG concept from the 90's is pretty cool but I think the '12 model properly captures the "chiseled block of machined steel" look that the 2nd Generation flaunts, but with enough modern design flair that it isn't too retro...

[1974dodgecharger]

The concept CHARGER was an intrepid:

[Ghoste]

Yes, and the 05 Charger should have been as well. 

[Chargen69]

None of the above, they could have just as easily made a new charger to look like a charger, just like they did with the challenger.  I waited two years before i bought my current 69 to see what they would come up with, but hey, they didnt build a charger, they built a car and then dusted off the charger name. now it's gone from bad to worse IMHO because they are trying to fix it by changing what they had instead of a complete real redesign.

i'll keep my 69



i know

[Chargen69]

i will say i got a chance to see a trooper turn through the median and gun it passed me to go get somebody, man that thing sounded Great!

[Chargen69]

as soon as i saw the first concept pic my first thought was juiced up Intrepid, and we all know what POS's those things were

[Ghoste]

I had an Intrepid and it was one of the best cars I've ever owned.

[irish_in_ny]

Middle for sure!

[Mikesmoparperformance]

I like the 99 concept more then I do the 2012 Charger! The 99 was more like a 69 charger to me . I still love the rear end of the 99 concept
The 4th door was invisible which is not with the 2012 model.

[Mikesmoparperformance]

The concept CHARGER was an intrepid:

Looks almost the same indeed!

[elanmars]

that top one ok on some angles but otherwise, that's an intrepid...plus they made the two door stratus.

middle one for sure. It's slightly less turdish by a good bit.

[JB400]

They share the roof line.

[Chargen69]

I had an Intrepid and it was one of the best cars I've ever owned.

well sorry about that statement then, but i had a friend that ran a dealership during that era and i was talking to him one day when a truck full of them showed up, and he said, "oh Gee, wonder how many of these I'm gonna have to fix. Last batch two power steering pumps didnt work, two alternators didnt work, and two transmissions had to be replaced."

Must've been  a Chevy or Ferd dealer.  Sounds like the type of attitude.

[Back N Black]

Can we ban anyone that mentions a 4 door charger!   

[Scaregrabber]

I agree; Chargers have two doors. I don't mind the current 4 door Coronet but the concept 4 door Coronet (top) was the best looking of the contemporary Coronets.

Sheldon

[hatersaurusrex]

I don't like any of them, but I think we can all agree that this is an abomination:

[JB400]

Is that supposed to be in the next Transformers movie?   

[Ghoste]

Yeah really, what is that?

no it had to have been a dodge dealer because i was talking about a truck load of intrepids

[JB400]

There is nothing wrong with the Intrepid.  Experience does say that the 2.7 has some oil issues, but other than that, any other problems with it is strictly because of someone that has little respect for the car.  Same can be said about most cars on the market.  That's coming from someone that been around the used car market.

[Ghoste]

IIRC my wife and I had the 3.5 in ours.

A little more than oil issues there killer. Try a water pump that's driven off the t-Chain. Has a "Passage" drilled into the block that is suppsed to allow the water that leaks out the bad water pump to the outside of block. In order to replace the Water pump, you have to do a full on T-chain job. Um, yeah, try $1000.00 water pump job.

Chrysler/Mercedes 2.7....JUNK.

[JB400]

IIRC my wife and I had the 3.5 in ours.  

And it probably was a pretty good car until you traded it in, wasn't it?  Or, do you still have it?

I forgot about the water pump.  My uncle had to replace that on my cousins' car.  Replaced the rod  bearings this past weekend.

[Ghoste]

It was a good car until we traded it in.  So why did we trade it?  Because it was a pain in the ass to get two kids in and out of the thing when the second baby came so it was traded for a Ddoge minivan which is still going strong 13 years later.

[bull]

To me the problem has never been the body style, door count, etc. It's always been the name they assigned it.. It would have been an easy fix to buy 100k nameplates that said Coronet, Intrepid, whatever. I'm sure the car is great but based on principal I wouldn't own one or even rent one. Someday I might get shoved in the back of one but I'd have to be wearing handcuffs.

That said, I actually like the fact that someone in design at Chrysler is attempting to make the car look more like its namesake. The sides and tail panel are at least a step in the right direction but sadly there's just too much to overcome.

[Ghoste]

I never really forgot Creed's insulting response to the enthusiasts either when the whole thing happened.

[GOTWING]

i like the current model in the middle, anyhow i was one of the 4 door bashing bad mouthing guys when the 4 door charger came out, but you know what if you have a family and still want a practical family car to slam some low 14's in the 1/4 this is the car, now i will admit we went with the Chrysler 300C 5.7 hemi when they came out only cuz it was for my wife to drive, she liked the looks of the 300 better, we now have 118k miles on it and when we do replace it i'm thinking a new white R/T 5.7 Charger.The newest style looks better, tailights,grill,etc.

I also like the fact that they have some size to them , i would not put my family in a smaller car.

[UH60L]

Agreed.
