Most of the complaining I've heard about the Charger is that it's a 4 door. I just don't see that car as competition to the Mustang market, but a lot of people associate it with the 'stang/Camarobird pony cars due to their past history. I see the new charger as a new breed of U.S. sport sedan. Having just purchased a 2005 Magnum RT with the Hemi (for the wife and future kids), I must say I'm fond of the cars. They drive beautifully. It will make a great family car, and it hauls @$$ too. Vic 2kGT 5m blk 2005 Magnum RT Hemi |

Some of the correct styling cues are there, but those big ass rear meats would have to go for something more practical in day-2-day driving. -- Please Don't Steal - The Government Hates Competition ZombyWoof (take the dogs when replying via e-mail) |

Who the F--- would want muscle car that looks like grampa's pickup truck or a soccer mom's 4x4??? The rendering of the car is ok, one scoop is "off" but the 'Cuda style grill and lights look good. |

They have succeeded in bringing back the TERRIBLE handling of the 1970s muscle car, the skidpad and slalom figures for the new Charger are awful. Skidpad Mustang GT, 0.87. Charger? 0.71. -Rich |

Lets face it; Chrysler and G.M. would love a car with the staying power (in terms of sales) of the Mustang. -Rich |
