kinda like the 09 to 10 change in the mustang, enough here and there to make it different enough.

And I thought people had complaints about the 2010's rear.

I mean I see where they were going. (Ala Challenger.)
I don't mind it, but I'm not screaming 'gotta have it' either...

I'd like to see it lit up tho. AS it's all LEDs...
Overall, it's a decent step for Dodge.

I dig the full length tail panel just not the lower valance. I'm glad to see though they got the angles leaning in the right direction.

One thing I did notice though is that nose and rear are on an old Charger. Look at the side it's the old car.

Too bad Chrysler never got this car right. Many people love the late 60's/General Lee Chargers.
Had they done this car correct, they wouldn't have had to produce a Challenger.

Are you sure? I can't remember, but did the old Charger have the "horseshoe" indentation on the side? I believe the is 100% 2011 Dodge Charger.

I think we're seeing multiple cars. For whatever reason, it appears they put the new front and rear clip on a current-gen car, but the last pic Marz posted is of the new Charger. Also note the faux heat extractor hood.

I'm really starting to believe that the Dodge Charger styling is heading towards the 1999 concept look, maybe we were seeing the 2016-2020 Charger when the '99 concept was shown? The full width tail lights and side window shape are starting to lean that way, even the shape of the 'C' indentation on the sides. Compare.

Agreed Mike, the similarities are undeniable! I loved the 99 Charger Concept.

I like how they say the car cover 'blew off', I'm sure it had some help. LOL

Make it like the '99 concept and lose the two rear doors. Then they'd have something special. Right now, 4 doors does not get it. They only time that looks OK is in a German sports sedan.

I'm guessing that ugly new dash will be in the Challenger as well? lol

Well the odds of a cool two door Charger being made in the near future are slim. But, it wouldn't be too hard for Chrysler to tweak the Challenger a little bit, and give us a Road Runner!
