2011 Dodge Charger (Updated new photo)
With the current Dodge lineup marked for split from the Ram Trucks line, the existing products will need a revamping to match the new, more lithe, brand image. To that end, the Dodge Charger will get a full update for 2011, a hint of which was previewed in Chrysler's five-year plan this morning, and spotted by Fox Car Report's Gary Gastelu.
Dodge brand chief Ralph Gilles says the new Charger will feature all-new dramatic stylic, a "class leading" interior, long feature list, "lifestyle oriented" packaging and best-in-class performance and fuel economy. The new Pentastar V-6 engine and possibly Fiat's Multiair and turbocharging technology could help push the performance and fuel economy aspects to the fore.
The next-gen Charger isn't due until the fourth quarter of 2010, however, likely positioning it for launch as a 2011 model. How will they get an all-new car to market so fast? In part through the revised channels being announced today, but also in part by leveraging the same platform that underpins the next-gen Chrysler 300.

Agreed. For those that are familiar with the brand, FIAT has a pretty poor reputation in the US. All this added stuff to future Chrysler products costs money, and likely future Chrysler models will have higher MSRPs, which would negate the biggest reason people buy Chryslers, which is almost entirely due to a cheap price.

I'd never own one, especially after all the govt. bailout crap. (Same goes for GM for this reason)
