I'm not seeing enough to reach any conclusions.

Cannot confirm with certainty on this pic, but I believe it's legit.

Definitely not diggin that rear end...the rest of the car looks just like the first gen, IMO.

Look again. It has a similarly themed grill and headlights on purpose but the car is completely different.

I'm already growing tired of the Charger, including the future one.

An evolution of the current generation. Nothing to special.

Still has the harsh, scaffolding truck grille. Ruins the whole slick car look. Dodge and Chevy cannot design a nice grille if their lives depended on it.

Is there any doubt about how I feel on this car?

All the talk for the past 2-3 years on this was that both tth eCharger and the Chrysler 300 would be going thru major improvements to exterior as well as interior. This redesign was supposed to really make these cars major players in their markets and fix the significant flaws of the prior gen.

All I see is SH_T! Seems like minor changes with some fugly features like the door handle thing! WTF? Can this company do anything right or do the Italians just want to run it into the ground?

I haven't seen the interior but I have ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE that it will be the significant LEAP FORWARD that it was promised to be.

The talk in th car mags was that these 2 cars (300 & charger) would really help the company to meet its sales targets and be very exciting cars in the product lineup as there isn;t anything else major slated for the next 1-2 yrs due to the bad financial position the co. is in;

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!!!!!!

Its no wonder that I will NEVER EVER consider a Chrsyler/ Dodge. They produce SH_T!

May I (respectfully) suggest that you actually wait and LOOK at the new interior before panning it?

When I did my recent review of the new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I had read some previous comments of its upgraded interior, but after seeing the same old unimpressive Chrysler-plastic interiors in Jeeps for years, I was a little skeptical myself at first. But, when I went to actually look at it, I was rather surprised.....though some of the old cheesiness can still be found in some of the buttons, on the whole, the new interior is, in fact, a major improvement.

Can barely stomach the current gen,, this new one doesn't look too much better to me. The rear end is horrible IMO.
