    The biggest thing I hate about Dodge and Chrysler is all their cars and trucks have the same looking front ends. I kinda like the taillights. But Chrysler still builds poor quailty products. The best thing Chrysler/Dodge did through the years was the start of using Denso parts.

    Was the only car on hand for photo's in an accident? What the hell happened to the side of it? Whatever they were trying to do with the side they failed miserably at. Front looks great compared to before, and the rear I'm undecided about, I guess I'll just have to see it in person.
    Since they made an 10 cylinder Challenger, are we gonna see a drag pack option on this car?

    Perhaps the scallops mimics this:

    Well, perhaps you guys should just stick to the 4 door, rwd v8 offerings of ford and gm.

    They haven't released specs on it yet...but safe bet is:

    SE and a rally model: 290 or 305hp 3.6 v6
    R/T: 370 5.7 v8
    SRT is slated for 2012: 475hp 6.4

    Transmissions are slated to be initially continuing w/ the 5 speed automatics.

    SRT models might also start w/ a 5 speed, however they will soon be swapped to a ZF derived 8 speed auto.

    As far as lower models are concerned, they may go w/ a outsourced 6 speed auto, a 7 speed derivative of the chrysler 5 speed W5A580, or a less expensive version of the 8 speed auto.

    It has been written that 6 speed manuals will be offered in limited models (probably only SRT's), but I have not seen this.

    How are some of you going to hate on a 4 door car for having 4 doors?????

    I am going to hold all judgement until i actually see one in person and drive one.

    Because it shouldn't be a God damn 4 door.

    This rendition looks better but it still has to many fucking doors.

    I've been saying this since the day they released pics of the first one years back. I may have not been around for the original chargers, but I know for damn sure they NEVER made a 4dr. version. If they wanted to make a sporty 4dr they should have brought back the avenger name or something, not called it the charger.

    The avenger name was already in use...

    I think I'd be ticked if there wasn't a two door LX based car already...but there is, the challenger, the presence of which makes indignation over the car itself moot...leaving only a name issue. The original chargers were large personal luxury coupe/grand touring types cars...which brings us to the next point:

    The fact is, there is hardly a market for large two door cars anymore...monte carlo is no longer around, and won't be coming back. What does ford have in such a segment? Japanese makers? German makers do build such a car...but a model in the size and price range of the charger in two door would be financial suicide.

    BMW and mercedes have large coupes...but even the small market they have, their coupes make up tiny portions of total sales, so it's a losing proposition.

    Basically two door cars will never be totally extinct...but it will never be like the 60's-70's where every size vehicles from the tiny nova's to the large impalas had two door versions of the platform, and all sold quite well.

    4 doors are here to stay, and the only way to even have a "charger" on the market (whether the challenger is out there or not) is by keeping it a 4 door.

    Fine, maybe I will move to Australia...

    I will agree as of late big two doors aren't selling so hot. Kind of a shame because I love the e63 M6 and 6 series in general, but BMW is killing the current body style in replacement of something so horribly bland and hideous. The CL is the only other I can think of off the top of my head, and that thing is the definition of bland. Yeah, looks like no more 2 door land yachts.
