A Worthy Challenger?

Any two-door, V-8, RWD coupe will get a consideration from me. :) It looks good and like I have said before, that car is screaming "MAKE ME A TWO-DOOR!!!".

That is a neat concept. 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.

To gimmicky for me. 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.

As long as the get rid of that godawful front. 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.

Well, I didn't trade in the Mustang for the Dodge (and I never would), but that thing is neat.

I have to give it to Chrysler in one category, handling. 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.

Did they bring back drum brakes too? :)

So why are you comparing the Charger to the Mustang?

Because it's all Chrysler's got that even remotely can be compared to the Mustang. Lets face it; Chrysler and G.M. would love a car with the staying power (in terms of sales) of the Mustang.

Interesting reasoning. I'm attempting to be polite.

Sure, but DC's lineup overall is much stronger than either Ford's or GM's. GM's is the pits right now.
