Default 2006 Charger.... UGLY as sin.

Man Dodge really dropped the ball on this one. First off the ugly nose of the car, Intrepid read end, but worse it's a 4 door!!!! At least GM knew better to put 4 doors on the GTO. Makes my '68 440R/T Charger look that much better.

I couldn't agree with you more - this car is a disgusting pig. There are spy photos of a preproduction version of this car over on allpar.com and it looks just as ugly in real life as in the pages of a magazine.

I couldn't agree more, it looks completely disgusting. I kind of liked the original concept back a few years ago though.

The recessed and angled headlights don't help none. The black hood should come all the way down to the headlights and grill like the original, to make it look more complete. Rather than making it look like you got some junk yard hood with matte spray paint.

They scrapped that idea.

The Concept looked BAD Azz, though it still had 4 doors.

See what happens when you let Bob Lutz leave? The new design is horrid.

That concept would have looked pretty nice if it were a tad shorter and a two door.

Well I couldn't agree more! Why put Lime green on it! It has to look somewhat better in Red, black , Sliver, yellow even!!Hope this isn't the final plan!! I'm Buying the 05 SRT Magnum with all wheel drive and the bigger Hemi. Model in Gaylord Texan hotel was really sharp! Bigger tires and rims awesome hood scoop!

The GTO is actually made in Australia and fully imported here. It is in fact a Holden Monaro.
Just thought I would throw that into the mix.....

Charger Concept was a good looking car.

If this is final way a new charger looks they need to fire the design team, it looks like a 300 or a Magnum. Eeewwwww.

I feel the same way. It actually looks like a little of both, depending on your perspective. Magnum front, 300 rear. Just like the SRT Coupe concept of SRT front, GTS rear. I'm beginning to see a trend...

Lutz was gone before that concept Charger came out. The loss was Tom Gale, he was a BIG fan of the original concept.

POS! They must be saving a ton money hiring a retarded design team.

Make the original concept Charger and bring back a good looking Cuda. Lets put Dodge way out in front.
