I new those spy pics of a four door charger were true and here is the proof!!
The Charger revives a storied name from American muscle-car history, and adds another car in the mostly-truck lineup from Dodge.


Powered with the same 340-h.p. Hemi V-8 or 250-h.p. V-6 with five-speed automatic transmission found in the Dodge Magnum and Chrysler 300 sedans, the Charger is a four-door, five passenger vehicle with a coupe profile.

Like its wagon and sedan siblings, the rear-wheel driver Charger will come standard with electronic stability control, traction control and anti-lock brakes.

Three levels of suspension tuning will be available on the Dodge Charger. The standard "touring" package includes 17-inch tires, and is designed to provide nimble handling and a firm but comfortable ride.

Eighteen-inch tires and tuned dampers will offer added performance on HEMI-equipped Dodge Charger models.

Rounding out the suspension options is an optional Performance Handling Group, designed exclusively for the Dodge Charger. It offers firmer damping and enhanced steering.

The Dodge Charger interior has "a driver-oriented cockpit designed with a performance mind-set," says DaimlerChrysler. Its Viper-inspired tunnelled gauges are highlighted with white faces and satin silver accent rings.

Target market for Dodge Charger is mainly the highly-prized category of "young affluent males.Expected customers for this vehicle will be "looking for the thrilling ride and handling characteristics of a sports car, but with the added convenience of a functional, five passenger vehicle," suggests DaimlerChrysler.

The Dodge Charger is built at the Brampton, Ontario plant that produces the Dodge Magnum and Chrysler 300 sedans. It will be available in North American markets early this summer.http://www.sicgmtrucks.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=505&stc=1http://www.sicgmtrucks.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=506&stc=1

Um, I may be biased, but that is ugly. . . I've owned a Charger, and that is NOT a Charger.

It shouldnt be a 4 door!!! Should have a longer sleeker nose and short back. I dont care if they take some of the look of the Magnum, but dammit, make it at least have the resembalance of one!!

Too bad a Hemi wasnt a true Hemi. This motor was waiting to be recieved by the masses only to find out it wasnt a true Hemi and pissed them all off!

I tell you what if you want to see someone get pissy then you go to your local track call a guy out that has a stock Hemi truck and smoke'm in a little V6 S10...... LMFAO!!! I smoked this Hemi at the track and this dude was pissy. I guess I would be too if I paid that much money for a truck and get my arse handed to me by a punk kid with a loud mouth and tattoos. HAHAHA!!!!

Wow im the lone wolf here then because I like it.Of course it isn't gonna look like the old Charger just like the GTO looks nothing like the old GTO.But that big wide snout screams of old Dodge to me.And just think the SRT8 is going to be out in the newest 300C soon so the Magnum/Charger will be the next to get 425hp.Here is some info on the 300C SRT8.
http://www.sicgmtrucks.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=511&stc=1 2005 CHRYSLER 300C SRT-8
ON SALE: February 2005
POWERTRAIN: 6.1-liter, 425-hp, 420-lb-ft V8; rwd, five-speed automatic
CURB WEIGHT: 4160 pounds
0 TO 60 MPH: 5.0 seconds (est.)and 1/4 mile in the mid to high 13's
The Magnum SRT-8 is expected to come out later in 05 and the Charger SRT-8 might be out this year too but nothing is final on it.Again I like the 300C,Magnum and Charger.I dig the fact it is real roomy with 4 doors and still has the suspension to handle the sharp curves and the horsepower to give you whiplash.I am starting to take a intrest in a lot of the new Dodge vehicles on the market.And if all goes right with the bank my wife will have a SRT-4 in our driveway the first of next week.I give credit to Dodge for having the balls to put concept vehicles on the market not long after the actuall concept.And the SRT program is just top notch in my opinion.
