Default 06 Dodge Charger








True to its power image, it will carry with it the much-vaunted, 340-hp Hemi engine under the hood as an option. Its base engine is expected to be a 3.5-liter V6 making 250 horsepower.

Yep, it's true to the Charger tradition, right down to its 4 (WHAT?) doors

it's basically the Magnum sedan. the renderings that were circulating on the internet looked much better. compared to the ballsy styling of the 300C and Magnum, this is a bit of a disappointment.

As far as following some old paradigm for the nameplate, there's plenty of examples in cars where a great name has either gotten greater or worse because of a change, Who knew Porsche would ever make a truck?

This Charger only looks like a blocked-off Intrepid. The interior, while good for a Chrysler, is too plain...it looks plasticky in pictures, before you even try it out.

They could have given this abortion another name like the Dodge Diplomat!

That rear looks like a Stratus.

Dissapointing, I cannot for the life of me understand why they couldn't have just produced the 1999 Charger concept. That was a much better incarnation of the 68-70 Chargers.
