Iksdabooty: I agree, the only semblence to a real Charger is the slightly reminscent lines of the haunches, and thats purely cosmetic. Not that the 6.1L hemi wouldn't smoke my car...
Rabbidgirl: I totally agree with 90% of your statements with just one exception: not everyone wants or can even fit in a teeny little great mpg boasting car.
Some people don't see cars as just a vessel to get from point A to point B, they want power/acceleration for merging (and more importantly for recreational driving), and if the government pushes car makers to just put out little gutless cars that only come in automatic, there will be a sector that will rebel, and I will be one of them.
I love my car because it's solid and safe as hell, has surprising torque, gets 38/hwy, is fun to drive, has plenty of leg room for my lankiness, and came from the far gone era where the Volvo label meant something.
