  • NFB So how many people are disappointed with the new Charger?

    I was really looking forward to that car until they decided to bolt on an extra set of doors. What the heck? I think we are doomed with the Mustang unless we have 50k+ to spend...

    I try to be positive about these things. I am a mopar fan from way back.

    I don't care for it at all. It doesn't resemble a Charger at all. Just a marketing ploy to sell cars. That car, just like the other Dodge products, all look the same to me. They are typically a love/hate. I'm on the hate side.

      I dislike it as well. I love older muscle cars, they are my absolute favorite as well as some newer sports cars, those awesome f-bodies, and the infamous vette. I think it is a disgrace to the name charger personally

        As long as it has a Hemi, who cares, right? That seems to be the rationale of the manufacturer.

          That car had so much potential. I was holding off on buying a new car until I saw it. I really wanted a coupe with the 6.1 Hemi in it...oh well! Actually, I really like the new 300/Magnum platform; and I was considering the 300, but I got a steal on my Bonneville SSEI. I just don't understand why it is so darn difficult to put out a muscle car in the mid 20s...Ford is doing it and making a bundle. It seems to me that Dodge could make a fortune by putting out a real Charger, Challenger, or something. 'or, put out a Plymouth 6.1 Cuda...what I really want.

              As a former Charger owner all I can say is that thing is a disgrace to the Charger nameplate......and besides that it is Ugly. I predict it will be a sales flop in another two years.

                      DC's quality control is so bad, as thier electrical problem, i wouldnt own one of thier cars if you gave it to me...... i'd take it...dont get me wrong..but i'd turn around and sell it.

                      the charger had 4 doors from the get go........they got tons of comments and ignored them all.

                            And the Charger of the '80's wasn't a disgrace? Could've been worse if you ask me.
