2592x1944 versions are available.



I think it matches my work uniform, right? Although I'd take a Magnum over this.

It's cool that they are bringing back the older cars, but the Charger looks like crap. I would take one over a Magnum, but I wouldn't buy it.

It's funny how on eBay the old school Chargers are selling for more than the new ones are.

Sportier suspension, and a bit lighter... the SRT-8 will have a 6.1 (ugh) Hemispherical in it. 425 HP isn't anything to sneeze at...

It would have been SWEET, if it wasn't a freaking sedan...Who the Hell is running Daimler-Benz?Charger = Beastly american muscle carCharger <> Family car

Yeah I work for the Geeksquad. Precinct Chief baby! It's the only acceptable place in Best buy I would work.

The camera I have is a Canon A95 (5 megapixels) max res of 2592x1944. I resized the pics to 1024x768 for ease of posting. (I also don't wanna blow up people's monitors and modems...........................heheh)

I had decided to only post the first pic, but then I said to myself, if i dont block out my own damn plate, why should I bother with anyone elses?

My glasses are terribly reflective. But the mug looks evil right? Me and ma bad black geekmobile.

Uh, the Goat has always been a big family car with a big motor. I think the new GTO embodies the old school A-bods (LeMans, Tempest, GTO) very well.

I like the new Charger. It looks mean.

Body color grille and a coupe version would be quite nice.

Personally I think it's a disgrace to the "Charger" name. I mean this was Dodge's stake in the late 60's NASCAR. This is the car that Bo and Luke Duke jumped off freakin' cliffs. This is the car that later was given a huge wing (spoiler) and is in every photo of Richard Petty. The Charger was the stripped down, no frills, balls-to-the wall street rod.

Now it's all heavy, big chrome rims, G-Unit looking. WTF happened? I think they dropped the ball on this one. I cringe everytime I see the Dodge Ram trucks with "Daytona" and "Super Bee" stickers on them. NEWS FLASH: THEY WERE RACE CARS. They rolled right off the show room and onto the tracks.

There's rumors of Chrysler re-hashing the "Challenger" name. With this track record, I can only expect it to be a mini-van. Oh dear god. They should take some lessons from Ford on how to revive a name/nostalgia.

Agreed... Dodge is just scavenging for ideas, taking the front end of a truck, bolting on a car, calling it a magnum, now the charger is being brought back, but only through the name. These cars just seem like your typical flavor of the month american cars. Styling that only looks good to some people for a year, and no real performance to back it up, besides the humongous engine that is required to move that beast.

actually its more like a smaller sportier version of the 300. The rental car company i work for is like 80% Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, we see all kinds of these things. I wonder if there are going to be as many recalls on these as there are for the magnum/300. I already know of 1 transmission TSB involving the automatics.

Eh.

Looks cool, big powerful sedans that aren't all luxo'd out are cool, it's RWD, that's nice. I'm glad they're building them. I wouldn't buy one, but I wouldn't buy any muscle car, so I'm not the target audience.

The new "charger" is a joke. Why would Dodge do this to themselves and put a 6 cyl in a big a** car and call it a charger? Its a disgrace to all charger fans everywhere.Yes there is some that come with 8cyl but it still nothing compaired to the old school. Hopefully next year when the SRT comes out it will be better with a little more.. omph

I thought the original Chargers sold to the public were more like muscle cars but with nicer ammenities.

My family and I like it, but the problem is that I am large car phobic, so it's a no-go

Because american sedans have been offered with 6 and 8 cylinder motor options since the beginning of time.

It shouldn't be a 4 door. Simple as that. The new GTO stayed 2 door and I love it. This one is just gay. WTF, a Charger isn't supposed to be a sedan.

I see this is quickly developing into a "love it or hate it" sort of car.

I wish detroit would out out something worthy of the names they are using. What about the '69 charger screamed 4-door luxery grocery-getter with a hemi! Hell the GTO is just a rebaged Holden and rumor has it the next GTO is also supposed to be designed by the austrailians...way to go GM, real original. And they wonder why they are getting so much trouble from their japanese counterparts.

This was closer to what I was hoping for in the design of the new Charger. Yeah, I know it's still a 4 door, but the basic design, to me, was much better:
