Were I to buy a 2015 Charger I'd only buy it for my daughter and a V6 version to boot, unless there was a 4 cylinder engine available.

As a muscle car its a total fail. Its is truly an ugly automobile and not worthy of the Hemi engine.

The 2015 Mustang looks far better yet I think it could have looked a better anyways. Its still a Mustang. The new Camaro is a handsome car. But that Charger is butt ugly. I think the 2014 looks far better, most of all its front end. This '15 is to small and the front end looks like crap.

For the new Charger and Challengers have been revealed.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2014/04/17/dodge-charger-challenger/7815555/
Personally I like the look of the Challenger, but the Charger is just god awful. What idiot was put in charge of designing that abomination?
The fact that those cars wear the Challenger and Charger name make me vomit in my mouth



(I cut this from my squad forum)

I was tellin ya about my toy, here she is. Shes got a Summit Crated 426 Hemi. (I have the original Wedge she came with) Id post how much money it took to get it to this, but my wife might find out  LOL  Lets just say i restored her from the frame up, and the motor alone was about $11K     :O

Had some kid come up to me at a stop light and rev his engine in his wantabe nissan drift car. I dropped the clutch and lit the rear tires, I bet his car still smells like rubber  :rofl







 My buddie Jims charger below ( did ya guess he was the one in the orange shirt ?  :lol. He has 2 of them, this one was used in the Movie The Dukes of Hazzard ( the one with Johnny Knoxville and Jessica Simpson. ( not actually used in the movie but it was used for movie promotions )  This one is a 440 w/a 6pk. She puts about 492hp to the rear wheels. Pic was taken at my friends farm. I went with him to one of the promotions in NYC. Needless to say we did not trust it outside at the hotel. We took turns that night sleeping in it to make sure no one F'ed with it.

He actually has all the cars from the TV show Jessies white PU, Daisys Challenger,and Daisys Jeep,and Boss Hoggs convertible Cadilliac. He also has a Ford Torino like in Starsky and Hutch ( google it if you dont know what im talking about, little before your time i think. lol






Hopefully Stampf will check in and show us some pics of his gorgous Charger.....

I could have sworn that Daisy drove a 73 Road Runner (Yellow & Black) and not a Challenger.
