exactly and if we put the right type of vehicle out (2 door coupe) with the right motor (hemi) at the right time (now) we would sell so many of them because the only competition right now is the stang. we could beat chevy to the market and take a huge chunk of its and the mustangs sales

Hello, my name is Aliyah. I am a Marketing Representative with the Dodge Information Center. I’ve been following your conversation and was wondering if it would be okay to interject? First let me start by thanking MG42pillbox for being such a fan of the new 2006 Dodge Charger.
It’s our belief that today’s Dodge Charger customers want the thrilling ride and handling characteristics of a sports car, but with the added convenience of a functional vehicle. Subtle stylistic influences of past decades can be seen in several 2006 Dodge Charger design elements such as the; heritage inspired high beltline, aggressive roofline, and coupe-like profile however the all-new 2006 Dodge Charger is a fresh, contemporary execution of modern muscle. It pays homage to muscle cars of the past without relying on retro styling.
With a modern design to back up its modern muscle car power, sports car handling and cutting edge technology, today’s consumers will appreciate the added function, convenience and interior capacity a full-size passenger car like the all-new Dodge Charger offers.
2006 Dodge Charger is the embodiment of 20th Century muscle car tradition and 21st Century design, engineering and technology. Dodge values the thoughts and opinions of the American consumer. We certainly appreciate the passion Dodge Chargers enthusiasts have for their cars, and hope that one day they come to honor and respect the all new 2006 version. If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns feel free to post a reply, visit www.dodge.com or contact us at 1 800 4ADodge (423-6343).

Let me first thank you for showing your interest in this forum. Secondly, let me tell you al little about myself. I am 41 and have driven a Black 98 Grand Prix GTP for 7+ years. I love my car but the HP it puts out is now being surpassed by many of cars and I no longer get that "Top Dog" feeling driving it. Sure I can mod it up, which I have to some extent, but when you start going to far, things begin to break down.
So when I heard the GTO was coming back I was really excited. Then I saw it. Bland with no styling, a rear seat you have to wait forever with electronic seats to retract to then try and squeeze into the back, a trunk that is not much good for carrying a set of golf clubs and a sound system that is extremely subpar. (Can you tell I was disappointed)
I was hoping they would get more things right in 2005 but they are just putting a dent in my needs although the 50+ HP increase is tempting. But I will not be buying one.
Anyway, now we are at present day. I have heard and now seen pics of the Charger. Hey, this is 4 doors. Not a cramped backseat like a Mustang or GTO. It's got 350+ HP. Another big item. It looks bad (meaning good). Especially the black grill. Another plus. I might be sold. Wait, they will probably put a 6.1 in this. Oooh realllly? (drool) How about AWD? That would be awesome offline traction.
Couple of things I really like in my GTP. Heads Up Display Speedo/Radio on windshield. Heated seats. Radio headunit with built in EQ. Not sure if any of these will be offered in Charger.
Some things I don't like about the Charger.
I like the R/T but not sure about the stickers & black spoiler. I mainly like the grille.
Which brings me to the stock model. I hate the grille. Looks like it belongs on a pickup.
I don't like the 2 tone lighter interior. I would prefer the interior be all close to same color without that much contrast.
I would like to see more styling cues to get it looking more different than the 300 & Magnum. I like the rear fenders. Feel something more should be done to the front fenders as well to differentiate it further.
As for other dislikes, I will have to wait till I get to actually see on. Hopefully the 6.1 will become an option real quick.
Now that I have your attention, perhaps you can set everyone straight on what is up with the Challenger rumor mill. Perhaps it would better suit my needs. I am sure I can provide more input down the road. I promise not to wine about how many doors either. There are enough people harping on that...
A potential Pontiac to Dodge convert...

The trend seems to be that she only responds to those that are positive on the new 'Magnum sedan'- the critics are just ignored. Pretty much the same attitude that ALL DCX execs have.

I obviously have not been here long enough to pick up on this. I was expecting a timely reply as well. Hell, the assembly guys and their timely replies seem to do more for the Dodge/Mercury name. http://www.bramptonassembly.com/board/index.php
I asked about any rumors on a Challenger and got a reply that they had not heard anything and their plant was definitely not setup to build em if there was such a car.
I would think with the progression of the internet as it is, they would hire Marketing people to do exact this type of thing. Hang out on the boards and get people excited about their cars. Maybe I should be in marketing!

Frankly, I am amazed that aliyahz from Dodgeinfo would even post anything here at all, even though the posts are pretty much standard PR stuff. I would almost bet a nickle or two that she did so without permission.
Why?
Well about 10 years ago, as the Director of R&D, I was monitoring a discussion board on the old Prodigy network for a set of products that my company had devleoped. As it happened, those products were being beat up, somewhat like the new Charger. After reading a lot of posts that contained false and misleading information, I decided to respond to "educate" those posters. Well, like on this forum, there were a lot of posters who seemed to be delighted in the opportunity to pounce on me with thier sarcastic, antagonistic and even mean spirited rantings. There were some who was glad I could answer some real questions. However, any attempt to respond to the negative posts just seemed to stir up an even greater frenzy.
To make matters worse, the upper management decided that I didn't have permission to participate and I was severly chastised. To compound things, they then decided that would post the company PR line on that forum. Since they had never participated in such a forum, they created an even greater disaster by not reading the old posts and learning who was going to listen and who was going to attack. You regular readers know who the attackers are around here and how they would operate.
So I would guess that DCX monitors all of the forums to get feedback but will never participate directly.

Hello again, It’s Aliyah from the Dodge Information Center. Sniper226, I’m sorry for the delayed response. In your prior posting, you mentioned that you were interested in heated leather seats. Before I replied, I wanted to verify my information. At this time the 2006 Dodge Charger will be available with leather trimmed seating as an option on the SXT. Leather trimmed seating will also be part of a package on the RT model. Preliminary information suggests that heated front seats will only be available with the Daytona RT package.
I just wanted to say that we're really excited to see that you’re interested in purchasing an all new 2006 Dodge Charger! As you stated earlier the 2006 Charger is a four door sedan offering spacious rear passenger seating/cargo area.
I noticed that you had some misgivings about the 2006 Dodge Chargers resemblance to the Dodge Magnum and Chrysler 300. As far as styling queues, you’re right people often compare the 2006 Dodge Charger with the Dodge Magnum and the Chrysler 300. There are definite similarities, but make no mistake, these are distinctly different vehicles. From a design stand point, though also streetwise and aggressive, the lines of the Dodge Charger are graceful and slightly more refined than the Dodge Magnum’s. The 2006 Dodge Charger’s upper body sheet metal (side apertures, roof, fenders, doors, decklid and aluminum hood) are all-new and unique. And while it enjoys the classic proportions that have made the Chrysler 300 so popular, these proportions are shaped very differently on the 2006 Dodge Charger, the door handles were even colored and designed to be inconspicuous so as not to distract the eye and ruin the coupe like styling and attention grabbing profile. Dodge Charger’s provocative look, power, and technical prowess provide broad appeal. Hope this information helps. Once again if you have any further questions, comments, or concerns feel free to post a reply, visit www.dodge.com or contact us at 1 800 4ADodge (423-6343).

Aliyah, why haven't you responded to the other thread you posted on? I will give you credit for at least not just doing a flyby this time, but would like some answers on the other thread.
Joe

Hello all, I’ve been on and off the site a couple of times since my last post, and just wanted to let everyone know that it was not my intention to ignore 2006 Dodge Charger critics. If you have an opinion about the 2006 Dodge Charger, regardless of whether or not you are a fan, I’ll post a response if I think that I can add value to the conversation. Dodgeforum.com members' eagerness and their ability to speak frankly about the 2006 Dodge Charger is always welcome.
As a Dodge Marketing Representative, I know I have a lot to offer members of this forum. I will answer questions related to the 2006 Dodge Charger if I can and if I can’t answer the question, I’ll do my best to refer inquires to the right authority.

I hope all the people that are bashing the Charger have atleast seen it. I just got home from the NY autoshow and let me tell you it is an impressive car. It looks big and strong and muscular. Its absolutly 100% american muscle. The daytona is such a badass mopar. peope were running up to see it. And I dont even think I have words to decscribe the SRT-8. Its not 1969, Dodge is not making that car again. The Charger is an icon but it is NO mustang, sorry guys. The mustang survived medicore days because its a symbol of america not just a symbol of american cars. But this Charger is a blessing for mopar guys who want to hand ford and chevy thier asses and look liek one hell of badass doing it, not to mention all those weak ass import guys that think thier Altimas and maximas are cars to be delt w/. Look on the bright side because theres alot more positive than negative.
