Agreed on the Charger. The most bland car on the road...well that or the latest Galant, I have no idea what either company was thinking.

Let's see...4 door car because a 5 door WAGON, how is that going to fix their problems?

The only thing I can see is that the replacement will have better quality but getting rid of the SRT-4 is a BAD move. Now their owners will feel like DC let them down...they got teased and then rejected. Next time...why would they even try another DC product in this segment?

Bad move indeed!

Sorry for all the bolds...while a very few wagons look nice...they are just not my cup of tea.
Um the EVO IX comes in wagon now. THe next version will be a 5 door as will the Subie too. What's wrong with wagons? They are HOT HOT HOT in Japan. When you have only one car for your household it is very convenient.

Actually... I kinda like this. I dunno if I like it so much that I'd get one over a Mazda3 (MS3) or even a Scion. I also don't think that this car alone is going to do much for DC. THey should have done like Mazda and made a sedan version of the car to sell as well. Oh well.

Dodge already makes a ton of trucks that all look the same and now they're cutting production of cars to make room for - you guessed it - more trucks that look the same. Bad move for Dodge. Good move for me. It'll keep me from even considering their piles.

Lol. It happens though. Hopefully in the next 5-10 years, if they don't flop, they'll create something innovative that stimulates other carmakers to make cool cars rather than some of the lameness that's coming out today.
