Charger
Saw the Charger close up today and in person this car imo is beautiful. Mean, aggressive looking stance with the ***** to back it up. Closed due to the holiday but i have to go drive that beast. Anyone drove one yet? The 06 looks to be a monster.

Why are all the Hemi cars HUGE family sedans? The 300, Charger, and Magnum are competing against eachother for what seems like the same audience. The Charger should have been a coupe.

As far as the no manual tranny comment--remember muscle cars on the drag strip are more desireable with auto trannies. The Charger is cool--but the SRT8 version is the one that looks really good.

I thought the same thing in regards to the lines resembling the Mustang , especially the back. I read somewhere when looking into the car more that the reason it wasn't a coupe is the coupe demand is supposedely way down and they felt the 4 door would sell better.

The axle ratio on the V6 model, and the overall gearing is worse now with the mercedes transmission(5 speed automatic), versus chrysler's own 4 speed automatic.
2.87 on V6
Pathetically slow, 0-60 8-9 seconds.

I think maybe the Charger's rear quarter "hip" resembles some of the late 60's
Boss Mustangs and it just kind of carries over. I think the new Mustang should
have had at least a little hip on the quarter panel.
