when can we order? anyone interested in a lightly driven '06 Daytona?

 

[THEONE]

I want to see what it will do at the track with drag radials. I love dodge for having the heart to build these cars, but God the charger is so ugly right now.

They said it "redefines practicality,"

I believe he was being sarcastic.

Wonder what the price will be? If it's the same as the HC Challenger, it's going to be the bargain of the...well...ever

I WANT MORE PICTURES

They said it "redefines practicality," maybe he meant "defies practicality"

I can just imagine.
the Red key is for you, the black key with 500hp is for your dad, and the white key with 120hp is for your wife

I think a valet key should only be limp mode.

Would hope so...hard to discern sarcasm in text

That being said, if it gets 20 MPG on the highway at 65 MPH, it is actually a fairly practical vehicle...4 usable doors, big trunk, and half-decent MPG...10 years ago a 700+ HP sedan was pretty unthinkable, let alone one from the factory with a warranty...it's still a car you can live with and only have minor drawbacks...

yeah, the drawback being you can't keep your foot off the pedal and eventually get the car impounded :bigthumb:

Not sure if I'm in the minority or not on this (and frankly, I don't give a damn) - but I love the new interiors.

I think I may be the only person on the planet who likes the way this third generation modern Charger looks the best.
I think they did a tremendous with them

 

[Kruzin]

It looks hideous. Big fat Dart.

looks like a supersized dart...if thats what you like

 

[Danner]

Will the manual tranny be available in the Charger?

 

[GeneJockey]

Well Dodge wasn't gonna make TWO Retro-Modern muscle cars. The Charger has a few retro cues in a less retro form. It's not intended to revisit the original Charger. There's already a Dodge for those who want that.

 

[JohnnyB01]

don't believe so, RWD only and A8 only was posted earlier in the thread, or the 2015 Challenger thread, where they are talking about the charger released today

No problem being ugly when you're one of the fastest. There have been plenty of ugly cars in history that were some of the fastest.

Case in point: Gumpert Apollo. Ugly as all hell, but faster than it is fugly. Nobody cares what you look like when "all they can see if your taillights" LOL

And the taillights are one of the Charger's best features. Many folks will only see the front end, briefly, in the rearview...

They are so nice, bright and distinctive that a cop can follow you from a mile away, lol.
I'd rather be less obvious if possible at night.

You're not the only one - I think it looks good. I can understand a bit the comments on the Dart cues... but to me I like it quite a bit.
