Sure, but why should you have to?
 
Why can't Dodge simply call their new 4-door an Intrepid? It'll still be the same car; do they think people will buy it simply because it says "Charger" on the deck lid instead of "Intrepid".
 
Geez, I guess I should be happy that Toyota didn't release the Prius as a "Supra"....

You'd have to go back and look at the concept as it appeared in '00. It looked very much like a coupe with four doors artfully worked in and had undeniable Charger/Challenger DNA.
 
If I can locate a link. I'll post it. If they're thinking of something very similar, this could be good news.

Popular Hot Rodding. Of course, they'd be interested! Check out the previous concept and see what we all missed thanks to the "merger".
 
If their rendering is correct, I'll pass. This current vein of styling seems flash-in-the-pan to me, and I'd much rather see the more concise, flowing style of the '99 (not '00) concept.

Thanks for the link.
 
Ok, here's where I take a massive step back from my earlier misgivings.
 
While several of those concepts look a bit ungainly (to put it nicely), they've definitely managed to resurrect many of the orginals lines. (Of course, the original was a bit ungainly too, IMO; sorry Andre). And it is about as 'un-4-door' as I can imagine. Definitely has coupe lines.
 
Maybe we'll see both 2- and 4-door Chargers running around in the not so distant future....

Yup RR, they definitely grabbed the retro-cues by the horns. I notice that the newer concept is in fact a two door. Again, I like the older concept a whole lot more. I must've seen it a dozen times in print before I even realized that there were four doors!
 
Either they're good, or I'm getting ocularly challenged far sooner than I thought I would...

Being ocularly challenged wouldn't be so bad sometimes......makes the sight of an Aztec MUCH less painful...

Apparently it will be auto-only.

No word whether they will have nosecones or wings like the Daytonas, but this report says that we will see what they look like on the track in February.
 
Can't wait!

i have a question. How do you think the Charger is going to sell compared to the 300. Will the "Charger" nameplate give it more sales or what?
