Dodge aims to again recreate some of the company's early muscle-car magic conjured by the Charger name. The Charger is expected to enter showrooms in the spring of 2005. True to its power image, it will carry with it the much-vaunted, 340-hp Hemi engine under the hood as an option. Its base engine is expected to be a 3.5-liter V6 making 250 horsepower. Stay tuned for the complete AutoWeek Charger story coming soon.

if you have seen one of the old chargers... you'de already know that the charger and the mustang already look very similar.

the only thing mustangy about it is the lower portion of the front bumper and the line it makes. everything else kinda looks like a bigger version of the stratus. Look at the line rigt above the real wheel, thats the only thing about it that makes it look like a charger.
Jazpah
I Like the way it looks. Nice picture to yes.gif

its nice looking, but if i remeber, the charger concept was before the new mustang..
ripgut
sorry but i own a 72 charger back in Cali and that is ugly.
where the hell is the chrome on todays cars? Man the newer they get the uglier they are, and im not even gonna go there with all these tricked out pokemon cars running the streets.

I don't like it.

3.5-liter V6 making 250 horsepower? seriously, since when has it needed an engine that big to create that measly power?

i wish american cars would use more efficient engines. i mean come on, the new mustand with 2 valves per cylinder? what are we living in? the 80's??

Fugly. Looks like a half-assed designed sedan version of a magnum.

its definelly a rip off the mustang...
man this car looks really ugly to me...
xp1ode
There is no way they can make it the way it use it, or even come close, the bhp, the look and just the style of the old school car was just awesome. I still fancy one of those, but this new one looks more luxury then for what they want it to be. The older model was just a dirty mean looking car, this has nothing compared to it. They shouldve done what the others did with the mustang, and made a similar body but with more curves. I for one dont like this one....

looks a lot like my car... An 05 Mustang. But damn 340 HP...wow. 4 doors though... sick.gif

Sorry but thats a load of crap.

The new Mustang and GT40 incorporate styling elements of the original whilst bringing something seriously modern to the way they look - and whilst I am quite honestly not a big fan of modern American cars, I love them.

But this charger... it just looks like a slightly tweaked 300C - and that really isn't anything to be proud of. Plus its going to be another bag of over engineered and 'safe' tat whilst the original Charger was just a brutal brutal machine.

Not keen at all.
Hypoxiaicon
Looks good.

The old ones look better though.

oh well i made a mistake, hmm.gif sue me, anyways this guy says that the older models "PROBABLY SUCK" . can we ban him already? None of his posts seems to make sense and he obviously does not contribute here. Not only that he can't type in complete sentences.

Thats sorta the point I was trying to make.

Its a dangerous game re-using the name of a legendary car.. and it has to be something pretty special to live up to the original Charger. I can't see this new model coming anywhere close quite honestly.

Looks like a modern version of a 69 to me, maybe the back end is a little more corvette than camaro, but it still looks awesome.

Now if they can add some fricking chrome trimming to the newer model like they did for the 68/69 it would be even more bad ass.!

yes but the difference is the 05 mustang is a reality. that camaro is just something some kid did in maya for fun. chevy has no plans of actually putting the camaro back into production. it has been rumored, but thats about it. quite a shame really, they pretty much handed the rwd performance car market to ford. i was a big chevy fan until a few years ago, when i really started to get into mustangs and after the camaro was no longer in production. i really really like the design of the 05 mustang.
