Default Official Dodge Charger pics

I wish it was a 2-door. Its the sme 300C but with diff styling. They are doing a better job of it, instead of just switching badges and hubcaps.

I remember the concept version looking much more badass than those pics. It will be interesting to see it in person and on the road

what is it?
a shortened 300C w/different body panels.

And what is up w/everyone stealing from Ford?
Ford Fusion concept turns into the CTS
Now the Mustang turns into a 4dr Charger.

If it was only about 7/8 scale of that car and it came with a 6MT I'd consider it.

How does this resemble the CTS?



Anyways I agree with the Mustang comment. They should use the Charger name for a coupe and name this under something else...unless they're going to make a coupe eventually. Then I can forgive them, but they should have revealed the coupe first IMO.

jet, not quite sure what Ford you posted above, but I'm refering this Fusion
http://www.thecarconnection.com/inde...&sid=178&n=158

Front and Side profile are near identical to the CTS. The Fusion concept was shown way back, well before the CTS.

Ford's lineup will look something like this:
Focus->Fusion->Five Hundred->Crown Vic.

The Ford 500 is nice, it's basically a Volvo platform Ford took off of Volvo.

I googled Ford Fusion concept and they all were basically the one I posted above

You're right though, that does look quite a bit like the CTS. You forgot one though, Chrysler took the Cadillac Cien design to make the ME-412.

No. Enough WASN'T enough. That's why many of these retro styles and nameplates are coming back....public demand. A lot of people are just tired of today's jelly-bean aero-cars. They want something different for a change. After a while, looking at a constant sea of Camrys, Accords, and Tauruses gets a little long in the tooth.

By judging on the pics alone I'd say it looks ok. It's stance is quite high with a slight drop and some larger wheels, I think it'd look alright.....but I can't really pass judgement on it till I've seen it in person.
