Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
      a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
      acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

1968-1970, with 1969 as the pinnacle year.  :drool5:

Also, those other Chargers from 1966-1967 that got us to the best... :Twocents:

Ahem, 68 was the pinnacle year.  It's not Dodge's fault they peaked early in Gen 2.

I'll go with 3 also.....   but if people on other web sites are going to insist on including every car that wore the name, then they should at least refer to them as "gen 7" or whatever.

People on chargerforums talk about the 2011 as "gen 2"...   :rotz:     :brickwall:

(and don't even try to explain it to them...)

(These are the same people who argue with me about the number of doors etc etc, and how it's not suppose to be a true muscle car and then spend thousands of dollars making their car look like a '69 via new grilles, new fenders, fake indents in front of the doors, retro hoods etc etc.

I don't know, Dodge liked using the "Charger" nameplate and they did not use it sparingly!  :lol:
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

Hah by that logic any car that had the 'ramcharger' induction system is also a Charger then...

thats like saying the 65 dart with the 225 Charger option was also the First Charger, it was just a motor name, not the car name

For the record, I don't consider the 2011-up a different generation than the one it replaced.  The differences were pretty much all cosmetic, it wasn't a total overhaul like the 68 model or the 71 was where almost nothing outside the drivetrains were interchangeable.   Changing just sheetmetal and a few interior parts would mean that the 70 is in a different gen from the 68, which it's not.

I see where you're coming from, but the product cycle is very, very different these days. They don't bring out cosmetic overhauls every year anymore.

hatersaurusrex

Little trivia:  Do you know who started the 'yearly cosmetic overhaul' in the first place?  Dodge did.  When the automobile really took off, more people bought used cars than bought new ones because they were cosmetically 100% identical and noone could tell the difference.   So dodge decided to tweak the grille a little bit every year so noone could pretend to have a new car, and it worked.  The other manufacturers followed suit and that process pretty much stayed the same up to somewhere in the late 80's.

I take offence to your comment about being 17, not all of us 17yr olds are like that. In my opinion there's only 3 gererations of chargers, I wouldn't even call the new 4 door chargers a charger. To me its a disgrace to the name. Its more of a magnum sadan, take a magnum and cut the back so it has a trunk, tweek the grill a little and its still the "charger"
