I think that's what happens when a Ram mates with an Aztek...

Yeah, that radiator grille looks like you trying to raise a smile - something that doesn't happen that often (?)

Thing looks like a 2000 Mustang mated with a Dakota extended cab.

"I'd love to see on of the companies just bring back one of the old great cars exactly as it was shaped before but with all the new modern good stuff in the underpinnings."

I'd love to see that happen too, but it won't.


Most women, and lots of men who don't know better, would whine that it's "too big".  My wife complains when she has to drive my Buick, which is a very reasonably-sized vehicle.   Too many people are used to driving go-karts these days.

The kids probably wouldn't like it either since it has more than 4 cylinders, isn't a hatchback, and doesn't have a 3-foot-wide fart cannon welded onto the rear end.  Although, at least in the Charger's case, a huge wing was available.

Ford will do well with the "retro" Mustangs.

Baby Boomers largest portion of car purchasers now....we bought the Road Runners, Dodge RTs' and Super Bees.....the GTO's and the Chevelle SS 396s.  We owned the FIRST Muscle Cars.

The Charger doesn't look like a Charger ta me.  Looks like a Chrysler with a Dodge Magnum front clip.

Back then car designs changed almost on a yearly basis.  Now...sometimes hard to tell what the hell it is when you see a buick, olds , or pontiac.  Even the imports look similar.

Wonder what happened to individual creativity?

And the 'New"  GTO...well....LOLOLOLOLOL...y a....right.

Back in the 60s's....when we pulled up to the redlight...SS396 to my left....my Roadrunner built to the right.....idling at 1200 rpms, slightly bouncing, the deep roar of the exhaust (which included headers)  when ya reved the engine the ground seemed to shake....now adays (shrugs) just isn't as exciting.  Seeing a Hemi Cuda come off the line and the rear end bouncing all over the road belching smoke coz to much power to hookup with the road.
Now that was fun instead of todays seemingly two stroke sounding rice burners with a Lawnboy sound and the supposedly new Hypo breed....I say....ya....right.

Almost like comparing a Honda to a Harley.

Because it's cheaper. The Charger is simply a modified Chrysler 300c. Hell... the Dodge Magnum is also a modified 300c.

I liked that Charger concept also, but I imagine the retooling costs made it prohibitive.

Neat?  The Pacifica is up there with the Aztec or Rendevous in terms of ugliness.  Not to mention, it's a Dodge.

LMAO.  $12,900?  I thought they were "Ram Tough"?  If it's 2wd (which it appears to be) lower that Price.

The nose is better looking than the bellybutton end.  Looks like they took it right off a Dodge Stratus.
