What will replace it? The two warrior stripes?

 

 

The end of the Ram is good news. Hopefully they will dispense with any emblem on the front of the 2011 Challenger and just spell out DODGE so I dont have the spend the money to do it myself. Unfortunately, that will probably not happen as it would prevent application of the SRT hood stripes.

 

I like the rams head it looks angry

My Rams head was gone in 2009....:thumbsup:

 

My Rams head is gone...........BT piece now in its place.
I can't beleive what a cheap piece of plastic that emblem was made of.

 

Thank goodness. The world can take a deep breath now that the dreaded "Ram's Head" is gone.

 

This is a car enthusiast site friend.
Plenty of other forums out there to discuss all that is wrong with the world and how insignificant our discussions of Rams Heads are in comparison.

 

I think it looks good. If I wanted my car to look exactly like the 1970 challenger I would have bought one of those instead.

 

I can see it now: Challengertalk 2026: "hey man, I just got the new 2027 Challenger SRT10 and want to replace the logo with the old classic one, you know, the Rams head. where can I get one?". ...lol

 

LOL you're probably right. They will be surfing e-bay through theire retinal implants thinking wow! only $500 for an original plastic ram head.

 

Sorry guys and gals, I am going to show you why men like the Ram badge so much, since ya all brought it up. It explains a lot of things and why it has lingered so long.

 

I LOVE my ram's head

 

I've noticed the latest RAM truck ads also don't say "Dodge Ram", JUST "Ram"; as if it is it's own brand. Stood out to me.

 

It has been it's own brand for several months now.

Says Gilles: "It signifies our sporty character. Most SRTs are Dodges."

The red slashes will appear on advertising materials, owner's manuals and merchandise such as hats and T-shirts.

On vehicles, the Dodge name will stand by itself in a new script that will appear prominently but without the red slashes, Gilles says.

The first vehicles to get the new treatment will be the 2011 Dodge Charger and a seven-seat Dodge crossover that will replace the departed Dodge Durango. Both vehicles will debut in the fourth quarter.

The famous ram's horns will disappear from other Dodge vehicles gradually in the replacement cycle.

To be honest, the ram head has never bothered me.

 

It's a part of Challenger history like it or not. It does not bother me a bit but I like originality. It's personal preference. I have the hash mark stripes. I was not crazy about them at first but I would never remove them now. They are a part of Challenger history as well.

 

Its about time!! That thing is nasty, only looks good on trucks!!
I got rid of mine long time ago!!

 

That is because RAM will become its own brand. RAM will sell trucks, just like GMC. So no more Dodge trucks they will become RAM trucks and there for no longer will the RAM appear on Dodge cars.

 

I hear it could be any one of the following depending on what model you purchase.

 

The rams head has never really bothered me. I guess I need to get bothered by it so I can be apart of the clique.

 

Emblem is gone which is great but that front fascia looks like its flaring out quite a bit than before now is that a change to the 2011 model as well?

 

When the 11 replacement parts come out, someone let me know. Wife doesn't like my new badge, got two license plate holes and now I scraped the side on the garage door track. Do they come prepainted or does the body shop have to paint them?

 

Just a quick history lesson, the Ram ornament was used on both cars and trucks from the 30's all the way up to the 50's. Just look up the Dodge Kingsway or Dodge Meadowbrook... The original Dodge Ram logo came from sculptor Avard Fairbanks, who was working at the University of Michigan in 1929. He needed a new car to replace his Willys-Knight and offered his services to Chrysler Corporation in exchange for designing a hood ornament.

I'm the proud owner of the first RT released in 2009 and I still rock the original Ram badges. The Ram symbolizes Power, Force, Drive, and Fearlessness and goes back to ancient times. Anyway, here's a video showing you the Ram's personal opinion of all this nonsense.

Enjoy!

Wow you just resurrected a 6 year old thread...........

 

Can bell bottoms be far behind?

A Guy

 

I still think the RAMS head belongs on the truck not a muscle car.

 

I never even noticed until I read this old thread on here. Now it's like looking at a man with a pierced belly button.

 

If the Challenger still had the goat head, I wouldn't have bought mine. It's fine for trucks and other things I want to have ramming power...but not a musclecar.

Badging is one of those things where a little is good but it quickly gets over done.
