If nothing else, it'll provide entertainment....why?  Do you own one?  If so, I hope you get your thick skin on before the loudmouths come out of the woodwork.

Well we are more of the classic dodge charger..... Many of us do not like the look, however I was told they do have pretty good performance.?

You are welcome to be here.....However several do DESPISE the new charger

I believe there is another forum someone will recommend I do not know it off hand.....

Some do yes.  Just that we have a few that are very vocal of their distaste?

I also think an IP addy needs to be checked. I'm sniffing troll for some reason. Solar Glass???

Discuss away dude... I don't own one but I wouldn't mind hearing about a new owners view of the car - what do you like about it, what do you dislike? Don't worry about the people who don't like it. Oh, and congrats on your new ride.

hello, see my other post

[TheGhost]

Pretty civil, so far.  Let's hope it stay's that way.  As long as the guy AIN'T a troll.


If you have an 06 Daytona, can we get some pics?  And, an owners review of the car, please?

I drove an '06 R/T Daytona last week.  I'm thinking seriously about putting money down on a yellow one.  The Daytonas are great rides and I have no problem with the name, but agree it has too many doors for a Charger.  It's a lot of car for the money. If you get a chance to drive the Daytona you might enjoy it.  A different car from the SE or SXT.  Just like the 318 is a different performer than a hemi.

Go drive a new Mustang first before you decide. They're faster than the '06 "Charger" and they aren't a butt-ugly sedan.

actually its not bad looking car, I do not have much against it except the big factor which is it is NOT A CHARGER, sorry go take it back to dealer and get refund. Get real charger and throw extra money into performance mods and itll look better, run faster and will be cheaper oh ya...will hold value too

[TheGhost]

run faster and will be cheape

You sure about that?  And, what about reliabilty?  Can he drive a "Real Charger" (by which I assume you mean a big block 2nd gen ) everyday?  Gas milage?  Parts if it breaks down?

Maybe he means you can actually work on the older cars yourself. You know, without buying a $1,000 code-reader, you can see all the spark plugs, don't have to take it through DEQ, etc. And what parts can't you get for a 2nd gen Charger? And how good is the mileage compared to an older, lighter Charger with similar sized engine?

the new magnum sedan doesnt get great mpg, and i would rather drive real thing and pay bit more for gas than magnum sedan and look like everything else out there. parts...there's not much on 2nd gen to break, and if it does break itll be cheap and easily found at napa (ie maintenance parts) And when 2nd gen is restored it'll last for long time, so no it wont break unless you bought one for $1k and its mechanics nightmare.

exactly! i would hate to go to dealer to buy ABS sensor or any other electrical "innovation" for 06 sedan. And they're just coming out so no you wouldnt be able to go pick what you want in local scrap yard. Everything will need to be ordered through dealer

It's the attitude of Creed and his cronies that pi$$es me off the most...instead of embracing Dodge heritage he would rather belittle and estrange all the loyal fans of old Dodge iron. He could have had more tact, but then, he's not even an American. It's as though they wanted to distance themselves from the Dodge of old. I guess decades of strong heritage and loyal buyers wasn't good enough for them. Hey, I think the car really does look crappy...but that's just my opinion. The front end looks like a pig nose, the back end looks like a Galant, the interior looks like a plastic factory puked up a fur ball and I'd buy a 300 or a Mustang before I even considered a test drive in a Creeder. But hey, if you like it good for you.

I smell Trollage too, and a young one at that.

My advice is to buy a new Mustang GT. They are much better looking than the "charger" .
The new Mustang also has styling cues like a Mustang and will keep its value way better than any 4dr "charger" you could buy.
...unless you are looking for a family luxo barge and if that is the case I would purchase the Hemi 300.
