No, should stay with Mopar Tradition, The Air Grabber Hood Scoop.

We shoudn't be too harsh, these cars will be able to dust ours with ease.

Why 4dr? Why no stick-shift?

If they made it stick and made it more like our RX8 (rear seating but not 4dr) then I would have loved to have considered it as my next car before buying the 8. But, it's probably going to be too fat (like the GTO) and handle like a fat car too.

I don't mind 4drs but FORCEING ME INTO AN AUTOMATIC is a deal killer each and EVERY time.

It does not look so bad, kind of tough looking, but I really hate being forced into an automatic...SHAME ON DODGE!!!

I can sorta approve of a suicide door situation like the 8 but don't bring the Charger back and make it look like a 300c w/ Magnum front end and give it 4 doors. I think the Camero will come back as a station wagon.

I don't have a problem w/ the 4 doors. It certainly isn't shaped like the typical 4dr sedan. Shave the rear door handle, and it would look a lot better. This is a big car, so 4 doors makes sense. If it were a 2 door, the door would be 7ft long!

Tone it down, graphics not color, and it would make a great second car, you know, for the wife to drive. I actually like the looks more than the 300 and Magnum, even though they are basically all the same car with different sheet metal.

4 door? Check out the pics of it at a car show, they have the doors like the RX-8! Yup, suicide doors just like ours.

Kinda cool but how are this and the 300C different? Besides looks, both are 4 door cars around the same price, no? I'd rather have a 300C.

This car has suicide doors??
I found some car show pics, but none of them have the doors open. The door handles seem awful far back to open a suicide door.

I just checked google for it. Sorry, that was the prototype or before the production model Chargers. It is a 4-door, not suicide doors.

I think the Omni 024 based charger was a bigger disgrace, along with the Cordoba based Charger.

Looks like they hacked off the rear of the new Mustang and slapped it on a 300C. Not to mention, that thing is gigantic. No thanks.

I think its ok--I'd probably wait for an SRT8 version before I start shopping for it.

Yeah, it looks like a Mustang with Magnum headlights...speaking of the Mustang, I lost interest in the look of that car faster than a kid with ADD loses interest in CSPAN. I loved the look of it for about the first week and then I more or less completely lost any interest I once had...That's probably why I don't like this either.
