2006 Dodge Charger
It's coming soon...It's gonna be one powerful S.O.B. designs are still in prototype but it's basically a dodge magnum without the Wagon part, There are many differant versions and the most powerful is a 426HP Hemi 6.4L V-8. IS THAT INSANE OR WHAT???!!! Read it in a Car & Driver mag today. about to go to thier website to check it out.

I'm sorry I just read the articleagain , the 6.1L Hemi V-8 with 425HP will be the Chrysler 300C SRT-8. The charger is 5.7L Hemi V-8 340HP.
|
it looks like a HUGE car. like you said, essentially a Magnum without the hatch. a little too large for my liking.
|
isnt a magnum with no hatch just a 300c? i suppose i should follow the link......
|
well zoom you're right it is!
|
That is ultra weak. You want to bring back a name like the charger you bring it back with some purpose. Dont just give the 300c a dodge facelift. FOR SHAME! I would rather they put some time into it, and made a mustang GT competitor. This is just a typical yankee bloated car with displacement instead of inginuity as it's claim to fame.

The original Charger was a pretty big car, so it's okay that this one is too...but it would be better if it were:
* a 2-door or * a "disguised" 4-door (see the original Charger concept before Chrysler was bought out by the Krauts) or *not an obviously riced-out 300C (a car I like btw) or *at least not so butt-freakin-ugly, it has such a big honking pig-snout in that illustration, ugh. Or go ahead and sell this eyesore, but just call it "Intrepid". What they really need to do is bring back a Barracuda that's worthy of the name. |
remember guys, the looks are still under design, I think people should E-mail dodge before they decide on a final body style.

I am really not liking the way Dodge is taking their new vehicles. Chrysler and Dodge are just too hand in hand right now. Also, I am getting tired of the whole "hemi" craze. I read somewhere that the new "Hemi" engines don't even have hemispherical heads, they are pentagonal. If this is true, why do they even deserve to be called a "hemi" then?

so the coffin car is losing the coffin?
dodge and cadillac running down the same g-d aweful boxy path...this is the future, aerodynamics are cool I thought? |
The previous design for the new charger is alot nicer imo

^^^ Yes, THAT is what Chrysler should be building. It's a bigass four door car, but you wouldn't really think it at first glance.

here's one more - I for one LOVE this concept.

That concept is fantastic, love the smooth and rounded lines, so much better than just rebadging the 300c.
|
I bet the concept was tanked so it wouldn't compete with that POS crossfire
|
sorry, but i think it's ugly.. it's almost.. almost as if they were trying to unsuccesfully rip-off the C6's body style....

i dunno, i think they're betraying some of the greatest lines that made The Charger a Charger (and a muscle car a muscle car... big black grille from headlight to headlight, long ass hood, sweeping fast back, aggressive forward rake of the nose, etc etc)

Yes, yes...and we all know the original designer was a huge fan of aerodynamics. (unfortunately, he didn’t have a clue about aerodynamics) I like the concept design better, but I think they should be able to find a happy medium between the original design and this concept. I’d like to see the long sloping rear glass, the center counsel that runs the whole length, a big hood, some sort of flip style headlights. I think they can modernize the old design, shrink it down a little…maybe do a 4 door like the RX-8.

i figured it was just a matter of time before they tarnished another classic name, except that this is the second time they've done it to the Charger, which by the way, the 1968-70 (?) models stood as the ONLY chrysler i'd ever buy willingly. :( And no ... I do not want to build a General Lee replica ...
|
Oh great. I thought the 300C was actually pretty cool the first few times I saw it. That quickly wore off. I see them everywhere now.
