Well, Dodge has succeeded in keeping pace with GM in the ugly car design studio. Check out that Charger pacing tonights Dodge Charger 500 out of Darlington. I will concede though, that Hemi is a force to be reckoned with.

DANG IT"S UGLY THOUGH!!

I love the Charger, I think it looks great. Only wish it were a two door though. That's my only problem with it. And lets not compare GM to Chrysler, at least Chrysler is making cars that sell.

I wish Ford's SVT division would hurry up and catch up the SRT and SS divisions of Chrysler and GM.

Looks good to me, nice and mean looking.

The Falcon is one helluva sweet car. I saw the Charger up close in NY. Without the fugly bright yellow color and matte black hood stripes it wasn't horrible but definitely not my fave.

I like everything on the Charger but the grill. There's something about that gaping mouth that I just don't like. Also, I don't care of if it four doors. As long as it kicks-hiney, the number of doors is irrelevant to me.

Hmmm....My employer just recently joined the DaimlerChrysler Affiliate Rewards Supplier Program (DC's "x-plan"). Out of curiousity, I priced a 2006 Charger R/T (SRT8 isn't available under the plan). I only added two options (Inferno Red Crystal Pearl Coat paint for $225 and 6-CD changer with MP3 for $400) and it came to an MSRP of $30,620 and a discount plan price of $28,297 (includes dest. charge). That's not too bad for a 340HP family hauler.

Now, if the nose of that beast was only a little different...
