I see all they have done is give it a '69 looking rear end, it's still a four door, and I still don't consider it a real Charger, that is until they come out with a coupe version. This is just my opinion.

Eh it is better than what they called a Charger back in the 80's.

Or a Challenger for that matter.

I agree, they need to do a 2dr version of the Charger. They do almost every other car.

I remember back when they were first coming out with these new Chargers, man when I heard about it but knew nothing of the details, I really wanted one, then I checked out Dodges site for some info and some other options that I may have wanted to put onto it, and then I saw it! Four doors :lol: , It was very disappointing to me. Then later on when everyone complained about it, all Dodge excutives could say was " Get over it, this is going to be a family car". OHHHHH that really torqued me then :D . So I decided that if they were not going to come out with a Coupe Version, that I would not acknowledge the car period :D .

Lets see what was it... a few years later Dodge decides to start producing the Challenger? Just to appease the fans of the Charger. Man what a mess up.

I will admit that the Chargers now are better than their 80's counter part. Still in my heart I am wishing for a Coupe ;) .

To be honest, I'd take one of those Chargers long before I'd buy the mid-late 70's B-Body Chargers. I really don't care if the current car a 4dr instead of a 2dr, I tend to think that unless they're hatchbacks (technically making them a 3dr I know), 2dr cars are pretty much useless in comparison to a 4dr. I do think that the upcoming model's cosmetic changes pretty much fix much of what I didn't like about the '05-'10 model and that it does look much better than the one it replaces.

They do have a two-door Charger. It's called Challenger. Most everything a two door Charger could do, the Challenger does.

Now about using the "Charger" name, that's a different story. It really deserved a different name.
