I saw some pictures of the street version and they were dog ugly.
Looks much better as a stock car.

I'd hardly call this ugly:
http://www.dodgeboy.net/news/charger/index.htm

But, the Charger name should've been used on something better IMO.
The prototype in what, '99? was a LOT better. It had 4drs too, but at
least they were hidden better.

Like I said, I don't think this car is "ugly"... it's not as sporty as
the name suggests it should be.

For some reason, it makes me think of the Aston Martin that Bond used
to drive...



The Alltel racecar looks ugly. It must be the white color with the body
style. The red and orange colors look good.

Well, when you're dream car is a 68 Charger, this is a let down. I
guess I am biased. But I still think it's ugly. Under any model name,
it still would not appeal to me.


Mine's the '69... like the '68 too, but not the '70(don't care for the
grille). I own a '69. That's why I said that it's somewhat of a
disappointment that they used the Charger name on this particular car.
RONG!
The 73 had the bestest chrome horn along with massive space between
the grille and radiator. Has there ever been a car since with that
kinda "crush space in the front end? Not to mention the flares near
the wheel openings with REAL sheet metal that would take a Darlington
stripe and keep on getting it.
As the King sez while standing next to aforementione 73-75 model in
the commercial

SCHWEET!

I'm withholding full judgement until I see an actual car. And of course
opinions differ. To me the car's not ugly, but from what I've seen so far,
it's not deserving of the Charger name either. Of course, when they drop
the 6.1L Hemi backed by the 6speed in it... I might change my opinion....

It looks like a Ford or Chevy too. Clone cars suck.

Ok call me crazy but of you took about 12 - 18" out of the middle of the
profile would you have something that looks a lot like a mustang? The front
nose carries the profile of the current stang and the ass end looks like a
retro stang.
