oldnslow Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Now this is an idea for Chrysler to think about. started life as a 300C SRT8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbenny Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I would definitely be interested in one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 That's what the new Charger should have looked like in the first place. Not the four-door brick they foisted on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 That brick must have sold well because I see them all over. I kinda like them. That is ugly. Retro is over. IMHO, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ1971 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I love Mopars & while I agree with most people, that a Charger should ONLY have 2 doors, this hybrid is ok, not great, but ok. It would need to shed some of it's bulk, be more aero-dynamically friendly & those old '68 tail lights, ( as much as I love them on a real '68 ) would have to go & something more modern, like on the latest Challenger, would have to be in it's place. It is a good effort though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Never a fan of the brickmobile Charger, but I think their gradual changes have made big improvements. Now the 707-hp 2015 Charger Hellcat SRT lays claim to being the fastest production sedan on earth. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2014/08/13/dodge-charger-hellcat/14007391/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 That would really sell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 That brick must have sold well because I see them all over. I kinda like them. That is ugly. When I was in USA a couple of years ago, there were lots of Chargers! And even here in Finland I see these sometimes! I think it's not that bad looking car anyway. But I agree, the one posted here looks horrible. I think it looks like a boat on the first picture. The front and rear end make it look that way, just like it would need major sectioning...

Lunajammer Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 That is ugly. Retro is over. IMHO, anyway. I think retro is... well, maybe on the decline. But given the choice of which style is dead, embalmed, six feet under and memorialized, I'd say retro still has a pulse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The Charger should have been a coupe, if they also wanted a four-door to compete with their rivals, they should have called it a Monaco or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 They've sold a ton and they're still making them. I think they made the right call. It's a 4-door world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparfarmer Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I always thought the Charger should have been a two door..Unfortunately two doors now a days don't sell..Maybe they should have named the four door another name..They have refined it to where it now looks mean and nasty and fast..Sure makes for a good police package....

Jon Haigwood Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) The new Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers seem to sell very well wth only two doors but then again they dont look like a Magnum with the back of the roof gone.Any more being said about a new Barracuda using the Challenger platform?

Harry P. Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 It's a 4-door world. Not where I live. The only 4-door I've ever owned (and I've owned a lot of cars) was a Plymouth Horizon... and that was the wife's car. She wanted a 4-door for easy access to the back seat when the kids were little and sitting in car seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Boy Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Agreed, Harry. If they name the current production Charger anything else, well...it's pretty nice. But Charger + four doors doesn't compute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Four doors aren't so bad. I've had a few that were aces. I've also had some (company cars) that weren't. The 4-doors I've owned: 1959 Chevy Impala flat roof ~ transportation to college classes ... faded, bloated, indestructible, ugly, but what a Hoot! A true 'who cares?' car! 1970 Coronet police package ~ wow. big but lithe, mo-power, fast, throaty, and EVERYBODY thought it was a cop car, both civilians and cops! 1977 Nova police package ~ rocket sled. Z28 had sex with a go kart and ended up with two extra doors. Handled like nobody's business, too! FAST! 2006 VW Passat Turbo ~ Okay. So now I'm older and the knees don't work as well after all those years. But this car is FUN! And luxurious. And cool. And relatively fast.

Any more being said about a new Barracuda using the Challenger platform? The "new" Barracuda won't be based on the Challenger platform. It will be replacing the Challenger ( supposedly ? ) & will be built on a World platform, so Fiat can use it on other brands it owns, Specifically Alfa ?

Mr mopar Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) I love my four doors ........... I know it does not look like the old one's but the fit and finish is far superior ,and the ride is awesome how do I know becomes I own one 2006 Daytona R/T which by the way rides better the my 2010 Challenger SRT8 6-sd.

CJ1971 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 sounds like another Dart bummer No, from what I've read/heard, it won't be a small/hatch type car, it'll be a medium to large/sports car type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
