Looks good!

[MAN they are REALLY milking that front grill set-up to have each and EVERY one of their cars look exactly the same from the front...... ]

I do like how they "adjusted" the front end.

Is that a new hood scoop design for the SRT8?

Kind of like the current one a bit better, this seems more generic and of course has the lemming-like ubiquitous hood scoop ("American performance car ... must...have...hood...scoop...must...have...").

Not bad, just looses some points on distinctiveness and uniqueness by falling for tried and trite performance styling cliches. At least the scoop looks like it might function, so no points taken off for lack of stylistic integrity...unlike some other unnamed scooped cars...

agreed. those headlights just aren't distinctive at all. The old one's were a little strange, but at least it stood out. This front end looks pretty boring to me. I'd rather them just stick the charger face onto this thing, although it is pretty cool that they've tried to distinguish the magnum and charger as two separate cars.

It was the strange headlights that I didn't like. What looks boring to you looks clean to me. However styling preference is a personal thing so there is not right or wrong to it. I guess we'll see what the market as a whole has to say about the new design.

This is far better than the model it replaces.
