Those are scans from the October C&D about what
they believe the 2006 Charger is going to look like.

OK, so it's basically a painted and striped 300C. That's disappointing.

Here is a link to the C&D sketch and the article.
Their sketches and statistics are, no doubt, nice.
But for a "Charger" it does not get me excited.

I am holding out hope the production version is
a bit more "Charger" and a little less "Magnum".

I know what you're talking about, but that kinda car doesnt seem to sale worth a damn nowadays.

Dodge better step it up and come out with a better car than that. They are completely capable of it, so they should come through. You can't just remake a Charger, youv gotta remake it with style. The Charger has a big name and a bigger history to live up to, and this 2006 model aint gonna cut it the way it is. As for it looking like the 300 and/or Magnum it doesn't. Its just the same LX (rear wheerl drive) platform if I recal correctly. Also because its got a big beefy body with smaller windows, thats why were getting that idea of it looking like the others. But a good point Scottm "a little more Charger and a little less Magnum"

Not in any way a compliment to Ford but Dodge should follow thier lead and make the new Charger retro like the 2005 Mustang.

Just my thoughts on the situation.

Here are some rumored spy pics of the new Charger.

To see what the photographer had to say about the new
Charger, check out the thread where these were found.

I cannot tell squat from the photos, but the good news is
the guy said that the car looked better viewed in person!

It is still a year out. It will probably change some more.
The first one built off the intrepid frame still looked better, more like the turbo interceptor.

I was at the local Auto show the other day and I was looking at that new Ford Mustang. It looks pretty good. They really went with the 60s style on the body and parts of the interior. When you bring back a musclecar with a big name you have to make it impressice and a sfar as im concerned Ford did just that. I wiash Dodge would make the new charger look like it did in its best days. (1968-1970) At leaste you will be able to own a HEMI Charger..................from 2006 that is.

I saw that one in 99 when it came out and I have been anticipating its release ever since. Thats what the Charger should look like. More Charger and less Magnum in this machine.

It won't be the final production Charger though
