I like it to. If, and I mean IF they build it, I wont get one until Daimler Benz is removed from Chrysler.

The 2006 are pretty nice. One of the cops I know got a Charger with a police package and it hits about 156 with no probs. I never thouht I would ever see the muscle car look come back though. Nice

Almost a bit too retro on that one, but it's not bad at all.

Looks like a old car with new wheels..

That is sweet. I like it a lot more than the 4 door Charger. I think it is a good thing with the Mustang and now Charger that muscle cars are going retro. Word is Camaro is on its way back with a retro design.

I think you mean till Daimler Benz removes Chrysler from their holdings.

Either way. Both are now a PITA to try to do repair on.

My favorite car is a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. I really dont like the new Chargers...because of the 4 doors. However the Challenger looks GREAT!!!!! I would buy one in a heartbeat if they came out......and I even like the color....WOW......

Nope, looks like the return of the Camaro is not going to happen. Bob Lutz just pulled the plug on the Zeta platform in the US.

I have some freinds who work for MBNA and they tell me the correct pronounciation is the Chrysler is silent in that "Daimler-Chrysler" name...if it wasn't for Daimler, Chrysler would be a goner by now, all there good stuff is mainly Mercedes ...oh the "new" Hemi? Merc designed that btw. That is a really cool car though, I like the styling

I have friends that work for Chrysler. Chrysler wanst hurting when Daihmler stepped in. Daihmler wanted to get into trucks. What better way than to get in bed with a company that already builds them. Ford and GM wouldnt want anythign to do with mercedes. Chrysler execs saw $$$$. Thats it. They didnt think about the fact this was a takeover plain and simple.

the overhrad cam V6 and small V8 are a throwback to and early (450) series Mercedes motor...

im at the chrysler tech centre basically everyday. apart from the odd german transplant you'd never know there was a 'merger of equals'.

as for the charger it annoys me that companies like dcx, ford, gm are looking to the past to repackage nostalgia to sell to the 60's generation. when are they going to build a car for me? my first car was a 1991 nissan sentra...there is not one day i wish them to bring retro styling back into that car.

In about 30 yrs you'll have your retro cars
