with the new 6.1 litre Hemi,it caan really lay down some pain to the competition.........even as a 4 door.

The least impressive 425 HP I've yet seen in a car. They are just too heavy. Nice looking (I love the look of the SRT hood) but just too heavy.

Everyone that hates the Charger (and the GTO for that matter) "seem" to hate it for one reason. The name. I admit, I was/am guilty of it too. Especially with the GTO, it just looks too much like a Cavalier... but I digress.

Once I stopped associating the current Charger with the one of yesteryear I could stop focusing on how many doors it has and look at the car as a whole. And I gotta say, I like what I see. In fact, when it comes time for us to pick a Sedan, it's on my list.... along with that G8. :D

Another name I can't get over is the all-new Ford Taurus! Woo-hoo a rebadged 500 (yes I'm a hypocrite and I don't care! lol... hate that car). Even if they do offer an SHO model, it will take a lot (cosmetically especially) for me to like that car. Not to mention it's FWD/AWD based with performance not in mind. Hopefully they will re-design the Taurus into a sweet machine. But this is Ford we are talking about here... not exactly the greatest decision making company in whole world.

All of the Pentastar stuff makes me throw up in my mouth a little every time I see one on the road.

Hahah! You are such a fanboy, Chuck.

The reason it's a 4 door is because that's the majority of cars sold.Most (Not all) people want a car that's easy to get the kids in and out of,groceries,or whatever,so,most of the two door cars are gone.Yes,it the Charger is heavy,but so is the new Mustang.The Charger has two more doors,but it can hold it's own against a lot of smaller cars.I'll continue to support it.With the rear drive and V-8,it may help other car companies continue to compete in the V-8,rear drive category.The Holden couldn't be sold here because it doesn't conform to the safety standards here in the U.S. (and a few other places).The GTO had to be somewhat redesigned (fuel tank location,etc) to be sold here.Now GM is making a whole new "universal" platform.

Thats the reason my mom bought her intrepid, so I could get in and out of the back seat.... low and behold..... i havent been in that back seat since she got it.

I love my 2dr cars :D So when someone wants a ride they have to pay the price :D

Maybe if the majority of Americans went on a diet and went outside every now and then they might not be so obese that getting in the rear seat of a 2 door vehicle is an issue.

Ever look at station wagons from the '50's? 2 doors.

A buddy of mine has an '06 GTO and that thing rocks. Tons of bottom end torque and it screams on the top end.
