The new Charger...
Love the new rear end (compared to the previous anyway). Front doesn't really look any different to me. Personally, I think the "angry eyes" styling of the front just doesn't work. They should inverse the slope -- make the front edges slope down instead of up -- then I think it would look pretty sharp.
Attached is a really crude mockup I made with MSPaint. I know it's bad, but it gives you the generally idea.

Neither fish nor fowl but rather, kind of a jumble of elements which don't quite cohere into a stylistic whole. This jackalope approach can be seen in the '68 Chargeresque elements (rear end, side scalloping) being grafted on to what is basically a very different design, the current Charger model. While the new rear end does look quite nice in and of itself, it doesn't really fit the rest of the car. Perhaps if the front end, too, reflected the '68 model then things might have gelled.
Nothing horrible, mind you, but pretty much reeking of a mid-model run refresh by the corporate design B team, hopefully while the A team is working on the full redesign to be seen in a couple years.

The new Charger shown at SEMA looks pretty badass, IMO.

I looked at it , sat in it and I agree, if I had to have a four door this would a on my short list.
Haven't seen it in person, but from my keyboard I think it looks rather tacky (though that's true for most stuff at SEMA). I especially don't like the inverted black scoops stuck on the doors.

The paddle shifters are really cool also!
