I WAAAAANT one so bad. The look is just killer. Like I said I love the Charger, I think it's pretty badass-looking....but I just can't help thinking "if only they made it like that". Likin the revised front end too!

Maybe, but after looking at my co-worker's Charger everyday, the four doors ain't so bad. I fact, I like it as a Sedan. Plus the Challenger will be a coupe anyways.

I though I would like it better as a coupe, but it looks too stubby to me now. IDK, maybe I'm just getting old. Maybe it's the pics... Or maybe I just like sedans. Especially this friggin Pontiac G8. Now where's Ford's RWD Sports Sedan?

Now if they give the Challenger AWD that would BA. Actually if they give this Charger Coupe AWD that would be BAMF! :D

Either way there is a lot of work put into that car already. I can't wait to see some finished pics.

Pretty sweet, the new charger should have never been called a charger in the first place Intrepid seems to fit it much better.

Personally,I like the 4 door as well.I do like the two door better,but,it's still V-8 rear drive and in SRT form,can HAUL.Better than the Charger of the 80's,and as long as we have have rear drive V-8 cars around,we should be thankful.It could be a front drive sled.

You're god right! That 4 door monstrosity they have is no Charger. My roomate has one, and he has some stuff done to it. This car deserves the name.

Yes,it's a Charger.It's like saying the Fox body Cougar isn't a Cougar compared to a big block powered '68 or '69 Cougar.Or my '88 Sport isn't really a Thunderbird because it's not a two seater roadster like the originals.As I stated,better than a front drive V-6 car,and with the new 6.1 litre Hemi,it caan really lay down some pain to the competition.........even as a 4 door.

I'm still trying to figure out why they didn't offer a 2dr charger.

That is going to be pretty sweet. I just hope they don't paint it black like the sketch on the first link because it will be too dark to see the details of all their hard work. Make it stand out not with a high impact color but something like the factory inferno red. That would be sweet.

On the 4-door charger thing. I was against it when it started but now I like it and would buy one in a heartbeat.

THATS what makes me not care in the end. Same with the GTO. At first I was like how stupid why dont they just sell HOLDENS here instead of rebadging them....but then I look outside and see how many 4 cyl wrong wheel drivers there are on my street, and I'm suddenly very thankful :D

Now if only they would offer a 6spd to go with that new 6.1. But NOOOOOO, Mopar must be against manual trannies. You can't get one unless it backs a 4cyl or in a truck! Oh, or unless you get a Viper.

I'll get flamed for this but it has to be said, Ford doesn't off many manuals either though. yes, you can get one in the Mustangs but not in their smaller cars unless it's behind a 4cyl. The new Taurus/Sables and the crossover cousins don't offer a stick either. I'd rather have a manual anyday over a slush box. Ok, you can start flaming now.
