Your Opinion Of The New Dodge Charger?

Looks kinda like a trunk version of the Magnum.

Why a 4-door though? They're finally getting into V8-RWD....

If they could shorten it up a bit and get rid of the back doors, I think they'd have a winner. They're already stuffing the Hemi into enough 4-door familymobiles IMHO...

I like it. Looks like they took the 300 and gave it a fastback.

Yea. I like it. Builds on the muscular 300 look, but lightens up in the nose and rear.

Pity it's a 4-door, but that's minor.

Looks too lame and boxy. I like this one much better:

With the four doors, it looks a bit too mych like a kidmobile for my taste. Otherwise, I suppose it's okay. Only okay. I agree with Joe, I like the one he posted the link to better. Sportier... but really it doesn't matter. Either way I wouldn't be buying one.

I love the looks of the Crossfire, wish it had more horsepower.

Still... I just dont know if I could bring myself to buy a *choke* Dodge.

I'll always give a "yea" for a smallish automobile, built on a RWD platform with a V8 under the hood.

Frankly, I don't care for the styling that's come out of Chrysler of late. Nay on the body design.

Kill the back doors!

I knew the original Charger, I drove the original Charger. This is NOT a Charger.

It's the biggest disappointment that could possibly be in a car named Charger. It has NOTHING in common with its namesake.

This weekend I spotted a Crossfire on the freeway, the license plate was:

"COTNTHE"

I thought it was very clever.

Two thumbs down, way down. God, that thing is ugly. I've been looking at these 300's, and the look is just not growing on me. It's like Stu K joked when that four-wheeled cinder block came out, that both these cars are ugly updates of the Checker Marathon.

Why not give us the "NASCAR" version, also depicted in the Autoweek story (

On the bright side, at least now the GTO will have something to look better than.

It's a better charger than that FWD sub compact they called a charger. That's all the good I can say. It isn't a charger in the original sense in any shape or form. Did the people who pen'd this thing never even see the dukes of hazard? A truck grill has no place on a charger.

I've seen a lot of Crossfires on the road now, and until recently, there was something about them that bugged me but I couldn't pinpoint it. Finally it dawned on me - I can't stand the bright aluminum (or whatever it is) strip surrounding the windshield. It's totally inappropriate on that car. DC should've made it the body color.

From that standpoint, the current Hemi isn't a "Hemi" in the traditional sense - it has nothing in common with its namesake either. But it's a damn good motor.

Looks like Edsel II Hideous front grill.

It's not a hemi in any sense.

Good point. More pandering to the "family men" who MUST have sedans because they are too @#$@! lazy to flip the seat back forward.
