If those pics are authentic, it does look like the new Chargers have a
flatter nose than the Intrepids...

Thanks for sharing!

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

I thought just the opposite. And I'm no big fan of Chrysler.

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...

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.
Although, it's much better than when they used it in the 80's on that
Omni...

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....
