I really like the headlights on that thing. I think the the car all around is OK. Not too shabby.

If you take the ugliest thing you can think of, and combined it with second ugliest thing you can think of, then hit it for a while with an ugly stick it would still look better than this car.

It doesn't look bad at all. Sure, its a wrong name for a car like that, but at the end its still really cool car.

Agreed. I'm not to happy w/ the 4 door Charger decision but, Dodge is doin' a helluva lot better w/ design and products than GM. Plus it is the 1st sedan I would purchase if I weren't purchasing a 'Stang. Especially the black SRT8 they got posted on their website.

I personally, have grown to like it, the GTO too, come on guys, do you really want the FWD 4-banger Japanese-traps around forever?? sorry if this seems offensive to any, but ANY v-8 RWD performance car is better than no v-8 RWD performance car.... the Charger's name was ruined ages ago... just look at it like this, even though the GTO is a restyled Grand Am, it is one step away from the FWD era... WE STILL NEED MORE!! :ranting: sorry, I'm done now...

Fugly, and don't try to convince me different.
name aside, the windows look ill-fit to the rest of the car, the rear end looks like an afterthought of an Intrepid and the roofline is a cartoonsish parody of a classic car. Total Meekrob.

I agree...the 300 is a great looking sedan, the Magnum is a great looking wagon and yet, I think the need to make the Charger somehow recall the '69s hips and attitude results in a bit of a laughable result

(Not that it matters, as most Chargers, except for the 68-70 model years, were butt-ugly or generically dull)

I was hoping that once I saw it in person, that I would somehow find some redeeming quality...yet, I was still disappointed. The closest thing I can think of is that it is a 300 in drag...I don't know, it is just such a dismal car in terms of aesthetics
