I think it takes alot of styling from the stratus r/t. I have always owned dodge's since I was 16 years old. Only owned one that wasn't and thats the GN. Dodge has really taken a turn in styling. They have always been a little different and I like that. Time will tell how they sale. But with the gas prices who knows.

I like a lot of their designs.. but I feel like this one is a flop, personally.

If you're going to take something like a Charger and bring it back, it damn well shouldn't look almost identical to the 300C. It looks to me like they started with a 300C, made a few changes, and slapped a Charger badge on it. That doesn't cut it for me. It's a kind of cool looking car, but way too similar. The Charger SRT-8 pictured, on the other hand, looks sick. Could still use some aesthetical adjustments, but MUCH nicer.

Actually, it sort of looks like a Magnum and a 300C put together.

I know its more of a rant by me. I am not a practical person if you know me I will never know what lower insurance means so I just deal with it

Don't forget that chrysler/dodge is just using the name. They used a retro concept to spark interest only. Remember the mid 80's charger WTF? That didn't look like the original either and niether did: daytona, 300, magnum, challenger(saporro), sebring,

I agree very much so.
