Richard Bartrop Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I like it it. First off, I applaud the trend to more subtly shaped sheet metal, over the overwrought origami that's been the trend over the past decade or so. It has echoes of the second generation Charger with some first gen Camaro, but combines them in a way that doesn't feel contrived. That grille, which is not really a grille, is also very 2nd gen Charger, and that squint reminds me of the DeTomaso Mangusta, which I happen to love. It's actually an opening for an airfoil that exits over the hood, so the Daytona will have a wing, only in the front. Stylewise, a vast improvement over the previous Charger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mopar Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It's just ok ,keeping the Charger name a float is cool ,But I just can't figure out why the designers can make the flip top gas cap work on these cars ,it's a real cue part on the Charger , But I love my 4 Door Charger ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaddyDaddy Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 There’s a new Scatpack Widebody sitting in my garage. I paid MSRP. I have NEVER before paid MSRP for a car! But I would never have another shot at buying a new Hemi. I gotta laugh at myself.......I probably sound like one of those old flathead hotrodders when those newfangled overhead valve engines came out! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Interesting. Looking at those bodies in white, they don't look like EVs. The shape of the floor, engine bay, and trunk area look like an ICE car to me. EVs usually have a very flat floor, and the engine bay typically wouldn't be open like that. Leads me to believe that these are for the ICE version. Very curious to see what's coming. The official launch is supposed to be here before summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 From my understanding, the new Charger will be available in ICE and EV versions. I suspect the ICE versions will have the Pentastar V6 for base and the Hurricane twin-turbo straight 6 for performance models (this is the engine that is replacing the Hemi in various Ram and Jeep models). Will be interesting to see what comes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What—a—boat!" gasped the man from the past. "Boat? No, that's my car." Barlow surveyed it with awe. Swept-back lines, deep-drawn compound curves, kilograms of chrome. He ran his hands futilely over the door—or was it the door?—in a futile search for a handle, and asked respectfully, "How fast does it go?" The psychist gave him a keen look and said slowly, "Two hundred and fifty. You can tell by the speedometer." "Wow! My old Chevvy could hit a hundred on a straightaway, but you're out of my class, mister!" Tinny-Peete somehow got a huge, low door open and Barlow descended three steps into immense cushions, floundering over to the right. He was too fascinated to pay serious attention to his flayed dermis. The dashboard was a lovely wilderness of dials, plugs, indicators, lights, scales and switches. The psychist climbed down into the driver's seat and did something with his feet. The motor started like lighting a blowtorch as big as a silo. Wallowing around in the cushions, Barlow saw through a rear-view mirror a tremendous exhaust filled with brilliant white sparkles. "Do you like it?" yelled the psychist. "It's terrific!" Barlow yelled back. "It's—" He was shut up as the car pulled out from the bay into the road with a great voo-ooo-ooom! A gale roared past Barlow's head, though the windows seemed to be closed; the impression of speed was terrific. He located the speedometer on the dashboard and saw it climb past 90, 100, 150, 200. -------------------------------- "Coming into Chicago!" bawled Tinny-Peete. Other cars were showing up, all of them dreamboats. Watching them, Barlow began to wonder if he knew what a kilometer was, exactly. They seemed to be traveling so slowly, if you ignored the roaring air past your ears and didn't let the speedy lines of the dreamboats fool you. He would have sworn they were really crawling along at twenty-five, with occasional spurts up to thirty. How much was a kilometer, anyway? --------------------------------- Screamingly sweet blasts of sound surrounded them as they stopped for a red light. "What the hell is going on here?" said Barlow in a shrill, frightened voice, because the braking time was just about zero, he wasn't hurled against the dashboard. "Who's kidding who?" "Why, what's the matter?" demanded the driver. The light changed to green and he started the pickup. Barlow stiffened as he realized that the rush of air past his ears began just a brief, unreal split-second before the car was actually moving. He grabbed for the door handle on his side. The city grew on them slowly: scattered buildings, denser buildings, taller buildings, and a red light ahead. The car rolled to a stop in zero braking time, the rush of air cut off an instant after it stopped, and Barlow was out of the car and running frenziedly down a sidewalk one instant after that. --------------------------------- Hopefully you get the idea. To cater to the feeble minded, they engineered cars so there was a whole lot more drama than was actually happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
