Yes. Bringing back the Charger, GTO, etc were mistakes. They should have let them die out....not bring back old garbage.
And not to be insulting or anything chud298, but what is up with those stripes on your Neon?   That's a Viper paint job you're messing with...

Those stripes came with the car and I like them. It's a 1998 Neon R/T. They all came with them unless you didn't want them then they came off. Just becasue there's stripes on the viper makes every other car with stripes a viper wanna be??? You're like everyone else there's really no reason to be knocking them.

Hey just an opinion on the stripes... no offense meant. If you like it, that's good! I'm not trying to knock them... just curious if you had them put on or what.

Nice RT. The Charger being brought back as this car was a mistake IMO. They should have something more along the lines of what the new Mustang is, a true retro, not a rebadged 4-dr sedan.
Matt. Why would you say the old Charger was "old garbage?" Have you ever ridden in one, or even seen one in person?
That's pretty opinionated for a little kid. Really disappointing as well.

carmakers will do as carmakers do...
Chrysler has decided that there's not enough market for coupes I guess. (which is why they're pulling the stratus/sebring coupe for 2006). They also don't seem so big on 'retro' as such. They seem to have taken a progressive tack when it comes to bringing back old names...
They seem to have disregarded the huge sales of the 2005 mustang with is truly retro, and I bet chrysler would have sold a lot of retro-styled chargers if they made them. However, I bet they'll sell a lot of these new chargers too.
Take it apart from the name for a bit. In my opinion, it's not a bad looking car. It's gonna have pretty good performance. The charger nameplate might have been a bad idea, but that's the way it is.

i think that the new charger is a mean lookin car. i love the lines of the dodge magnum and the chrysler 300. so the new charger was a hit with me. i seen it at the 2005 philly auto show and liked it. i do think they should have made it availible as a 2 AND 4 door, not just a 4 door. and i aslo like the new GTO and mustang. ppl dont remember its not 1970 anymore, so every car is not going to be retro. 2 door cars dont sell as well anymore. thats why dodge made the charger b/c the 300 is a strong seller. the new charger is going to be aimed for ppl who arent too fond of the 300's looks. now im hoping that GM brings back a retro v8 powered rwd camaro and firebird!!!!!!!! oh nice neon!!

I have been around a long time, long enough to have driven a new 65 Charger and owned several later Dodges. Side by side, they fail as a car next to any LX RT. You may like the nostalgic look, but they were not good cars by todays standards.

wait.....you guys are calling muscle car era chargers garbage?? one of the most renown and famous muscle cars ever?
i bet if someone dumped a set of "dubs" on one, and some "sick 12s in the trunk" you guys would probably be "bout it bout it".....

no not at all. i don't care about rims. i don't have subs. that stuff doesn't matter to me. i go by the interior is ass ugly, the exterior is ass ugly, it has 2 doors because the number of doors are SO IMPORTANT, and it didn't feel right. maybe ti is because i have been spoiled with newer cars all my life and haven't had to deal with old crap, but maybe it is because it really is garbage.
