I am afraid to imagine what the next-gen 300 and other future Chrysler interiors will look like .

Default Spy Shots: Cover lifted on 2011 Dodge Charger

Spy Shots: Cover lifted on 2011 Dodge Charger



We've seen plenty of spy shots showing heavily cloaked prototypes of the 2011 Dodge Charger before, but our spy photographers just found the holy grail. Who knows how it happened, but the cover on this Charger prototype (we're guessing it's an R/T model) got flipped back to reveal the redesigned sedan's new snout for the first time and our spies snapped the hell out of it.

The Charger's new look will apparently be an evolution more than a revolution, with the current sedan's squared off front end and angry expression receiving several tweaks. The grille, for instance, appears slightly taller and juts out farther creating a schnoz not unlike what you'll find on the front end of a Mitsubishi Lancer (not a fan of the faux chrome, though). The Charger's headlights always made the car look pissed off, but the new model appears to be in an even worse mood with a more aggressive scowl. The hood is definitely more chiseled as well, with what appears to be two recesses stamped in on either side of a center spine. Finally, the lower bumper receives new fog lamps and a larger lower air intake.

There were rumors that Dodge passenger vehicles would soon be sporting new badges that ditched the horned ram, in light of Ram trucks being spun off as its own brand. This prototype, however, is wearing a traditional Dodge badge with the hooved mammal's head in relief like always. That doesn't mean the brand couldn't swap out badges at the last minute, but if that's their plan, there's no evidence here.

I swear, sometimes I think these cars are revealed ahead of time on purpose. Theres no mistake or slip-up here.

More evolution than revolution. Nicely cleaned up and slightly more aggressive. Wheels remind me of Audi RS4 wheels. Hopefully they do something with that ugly C-pillar on the current car.

At first glance, I'm disappointed. But too early for me to conclude.
