Kind of looks like they paired the back end of the 1999 concept car with the front end of a modern Dart.

I think it looks great, only took them 50 years to actually do a charger design again.

They could have done so much better. Just looks all unproportioned all over.

I mean, you know you're going to own one eventually (all you former challenger haters ended up with them, so quit cryin') I think you’re a little confused, as I have never said anything against the Challenger’s. I can honestly tell you that I will never own one of those Chargers, I have no interest in them. You seem to spend a lot of time pumping whatever the newest stuff they are hoping to sell to the public.

Makes me wonder if this is just to silence the 2-door crowd. We've been calling for a 2-door Charger for years. So now they make one that's so ugly, nobody's going to buy it. That way, they can go back to cranking out even uglier 4-doors and continue to tell us there's no market for 2-door cars anymore.
Funny how I see tons of 2-door Hondas, Kias, and BMW's and I live in the armpit of the universe!
I mean.... this Charger isn't terrible... I've seen worse. But, it's BORING. Dare I say Chrysler has not cranked out an exciting car in over 20 years. Even their fancier Challenger models are just lipstick on a pig. The Challenger is also a BORING car. There's no style to it. It looks like someone asked their 6-year-old to draw a car. I bet the retail on this new Charger ain't gonna be cheap either. So, shelling out $75,000 for a boring car? No thanks. There are options for something much more stylish at that price point.

Pretty car. From every angle. Going to look just as good in 4 doors. Twin turbo 500 hp 3L for Me. Gives a lot of hope that the next Challenger is going to be a knockout as well. Designers got everything right except for the "door dents"? That's a Charger signature, would like to have seen it on this car. ,

Typical Dodge; can't get the bumper cover paint to match the adjoining panel. These pictures are all of prototype and pre production test cars. Of course the paint isn't going to match. And the "rope" off the decklid is most likely there for a safety thing I would likely say. I used to be a test driver, driving prototype Hellcats, Dodge Darts, Jeep Renegades, Cherokee's,Durango's Charger's..etc, back in 2013. All those vehicles had mismatched paint, some had NO paint, different panels, interior pieces and so on. They were all PROTOTYPE mules! Engineering working all the bugs out, while making adjustments and improvements along the way.

I think it's a step in the right direction, But still needs some work. Definitely better than that 4 door thing they called a "Charger". I think it was a disgrace to the name! From what i read the (ev)performance is supposed to be up to the hellcat level. Have to wait and see, I'm sure they will have different versions/options. What ever happened to making both two and four door cars? If by some chance you need 4 doors it was an option. No options today! Most people today don't care about looks, Just look at all the 4 door suvs that look all the same on the roads. Current cars (vehicles) have three big problems in car design and it actually started in the mid to late '60's NHTSA, FMVSS, EPA and more. Pretty tough to meet ALL of the standards and make your vehicle look good. That's the reason early in this thread I pointed out the rollover standard B-PILLAR that is too expensive to get around. Then there's the crash testing, pedestrian safer front ends, etc., I have a friend and former Dodge engineer that worked on just the doors of the last Challengers and from the beginning of design and development they tried and tried and tried to make a Challenger without a B-pillar and failed because of cost and it would have looked ugly and awkward. When this Charger concept first showed without a B-pillar I was betting the B-pillar-less 2-door Charger would never happen and so far it looks like it won't again.

What an ugly P.O.S. Looks like Chrysler has gotten back to its 80s/90s roots again.

The "bird bath" hood dip is a great place for snow and ice to pack in. Then, when the car warms up and you at driving speeds, it will fly off and hit the guy driving behind them. Due to "delays", it is supposed to launch in Q4 as a 2024 model. Then switch over to a 2025 model in January with no changes.

Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

doesn't matter what they come up with, i can't afford it anyway............ My exact thoughts. Even if I could, I wouldn't, just because I can't see buying something that I'll literally drive into the ground, by using it for a commuter car. I'd finally get done paying for it, and it would be worthless.
