I've had my Challenger for one month. During that time on three separate occasions, strangers have asked me if it's "the new Charger." It looks like Dodge needs to do some marketing of the Challenger (more than just showing George Washington riding in one) so people will know what it is!

Hey, I still occasionally mess it up myself, and I own one. [shrug]

(Musta been all those years of owning a '70 Charger, long ago.)

 

[bishopsnet]

Just tell them "Heck Yes! Its the General Lee edition!" Then, close your eyes and shake your head slowly in disapproval.:thumbsup:

 

[plissken99]

LOL two guys I work with still call it a Charger, I stopped correcting them after 5 times or so. Ya can't fix stupid.

 

[GreatAmerican]

I would much rather have my Challenger called a Charger than a Camaro.

 

[Hotwheel]

I stopped correcting people long ago, unless they are young, older people are the worst. Car savvy people know what it is and the others as long as they say Nice Car I'm happy.

"...ay mayun... that sure is a nice Camaro.. I mean... Charger? Yea. Nice Charger you got der."

People are entitled to be wrong, but yea... Dodge has to step up the marketing before this thing gets discontinued.

My mom goes around bragging that her son ordered an Avenger...

My mom goes around bragging that her son ordered an Avenger...

Ouchh. Shouldn't be bragging if that's the case. I'm just glad my mom knows that I ordered a Challenger SRT8, even my dad doesn't even know what I'm getting.

Just got my Chally and people tell my they like my Charger all the time... Most the time I don't bother correcting them.

 

[DBDLIVES]

Yep, same here. Just last week I had a guy say "man I love those new chargers!!". I said yeah I like em too. LOL. he the proceeded to say "I like those Chargers better than the Challengers". HoooHuum, Yeah buddy whatever you say.

 

[TinCuda]

Wait. Where am I? This isn't the ford pinto forum?

 

[bmsardou]

Just let it slide. I tried correcting people, but they don't listen. They'll come back in a month and ask how the Charger is doing. sigh...

 

[burningman]

They'll come back in a month and ask how the Charger is doing. sigh...

When they do tell them you got rid of the Charger and bought a Challenger and show up with the same car. LOL

 

[ChallengerPhil]

Pffft! Some things will never change with non car-people.

I had an 86' Pontiac Grand Prix.... everyone called it a Monte Carlo or a 442.

 

[ChallengerPhil]

When they do tell them you got rid of the Charger and bought a Challenger and show up with the same car. LOL

LOL I love this

 

[Justinec101]

Other day I told a guy I liked his Ford Camaro. He said thanks. I said I was just kidding, don't think he heard me =P

 

[R/T_6Speed]

I would much rather have my Challenger called a Charger than a Camaro.

Yeah, ditto that. I've had a bunch of people call it a Charger and I don't say anything anymore, I gave up. When they call it a Camaro I correct them... every time.

I still like the ones that are looking at the HEMI on the hood and say, does it really have a hemi? When I know 99.5% of them have no idea what a hemi is or what it means.

Yesterday I had my 69 Charger out and was driving it around and after I pulled in the neighbor came up to me and said "is that a GTO" LOL

 

[Glenn's HC]

Douhhhhh! I hate that! My freakin oldest brother keeps calling my Challenger a Charger all the time. I love him to death but when he calls my car a charger i just want to run my size 13 foot up his rear end! @##@[email protected]*&!!!!:bash:
