American car companies like to do it for some reason.....all the jap prototypes look almost identical to the actual production models....weird :shrug:

I don't know why they'd change the car so much, they are more than likely only making the car because of people loving the concept. And then when they change it and it becomes fugly they wonder why it doesn't sell as well. Hmm, maybe because the car was cool then they changed it so that it wasn't?

always felt that way

same goes for the new GTO...

at least the Mustang can say they stuck with the sport look and brought back some of the classic features

To me the Charger SRT-8 is really nice, 425HP, breathing on 12's in a 4150lb 4-door car(300c SRT-8 ran 13.2@108) that can seat your friends and girlfriend comfortably - count me in!

i doubt there is going to be many complaints about the motor, however, why use the charger name (reason to boost sales) but its def. a disgrace. it can have 1,000 hp but if it looks like that :poke: not worthy of the charger r/t badge...
watch out boys first the GTO then the Charger, next stang you see is gonna be a 4 door sedan :bs:

I just don't understand companies that do this, and they all do it. WTF. Get the public hooked and then Wham-O they roll out this shi*box on wheels.

The chargers are garbage but I saw a 300c srt-8 for the first time today, guy didn't get on it or anything but I would give serious consideration to picking one up in a few years when they're affordable :-D Overall look of it was bad as fu*k, big brakes/wheels/etc, the thing just looks angry :rockon:
