2011 Dodge Charger: First official images, details released
The hotly anticipated 2011 Dodge Charger has beat a path onto the Internet in a million little ways, but this is the first complete, undisguised look that we have of the redesigned muscle sedan after a seemingly endless stream of spy shots and leaks.
Said to be more closely inspired by the second-generation Charger of 1968-1970, the rear/all-wheel-driver picks up the classic model's full-width rear taillamps but goes without the original's hidden front lighting. That massive 'race track' brake lamp assembly, incidentally, is illuminated via 164 LEDs. The nose appears to be more closely derivative of the outgoing model, albeit with a prominent grille assembly that a bit more proudly ahead of the rest of the front fascia.
Under that big hood, Chrysler confirms that the 2011 Charger will receive both the 5.7-liter V8 Hemi and the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 as expected. All-wheel drive will be available in R/T trim, and the system includes a front-axle disconnect function to aid in fuel economy, meaning that when it isn't needed, the AWD Charger ought to behave like its rear-drive counterpart (albeit with some extra weight from the additional componentry).
The Ontario, Canada-built Charger is expected to rumble into showrooms before the year is out. For many more details, click past the jump to view the official press release.

I agree.
Even being a mopar guy, I was never crazy about the previous gen charger...preferring the magnum to it greatly.
But this really hits the nail on the head! If I had to change one thing I would have been to make the front end, and more specifically the grille/light treatments more evocative of the 69 charger....
I really like the character lines on the hood and the sides that are quite similar to the 2nd gen chargers of 68-70...1979 Lil' Red Express -Officially the quickest "bolt-on" LRT in the country.

I still think the whole sedan concept is stupid, but i must admit that it looks a lot better then the last one.

Still does nothing for me, especially it being a 4-door. Blah.

It's better, but like we talked about in the other thread... the interiors are atrocious.

They were digging in the GTO/Monaro parts dumpster for that spoiler i see eh? Its better but not a huge diff towards the better IMHO. The door scallop is supposed to mock a vette? or?? I'm confused. The real one they need to change is that 300c, that thing is largely unchanged since '04 and is played the fuck out.
