I open up jalopnik, and i'm greeted with this beauty


http://jalopnik.com/#!5755755/2012-dodge-charger-srt8-a-new-snout-and-a-heaping-helping-of-higher-horsepower/gallery/1

almost everything coming out on the showroom floor this year is love it or hate it, and in all honesty i approve of this design.

all too obvious is the "it looks like an evo on hormones" look, but i see it this way: the evo x is shaped like a pig, short, snubby nose, broad, shapeless rear end, and a roofline that screams "i go faster greased"
now, take all of that, and put the cute little piggy back in the wild. if you don't know, even domesticated pigs return to their wild boar stage if left in the wild, and that's whats happened here. it's sleeker than the fat whopper of the last charger, and gnarlier that an evo, reguardless of looks.

I'm not sure about it, it looks too clumsy to me. It's like they said, "how many 2nd gen charger references can we fit into one generic 4dr?"

I really don't now what to make of it. I don't love it, and I don't hate it. Maybe it'll grow on me...



Edit: Look what i found in the comments


goatseeeeeee!

which u will choose?

i suggest left one

Posted by: Unox. Feb 9 2011, 07:15 PM

old charger is boring and tame, IMO. i like the new aggressive one, you never know, they might actually paint the cross bar on the final version

Posted by: manga tuner Feb 9 2011, 07:17 PM

agree with agressive but it someway looks little dumb...sry guys but thts only my opinion

Posted by: Mkid Feb 9 2011, 07:36 PM

Yeah its pretty ugly... Mainly the profile of the car. it looks way too long and the vent is too far back. The kink in the middle also makes it look like the frame is broke and the car is caving in.

The front is much nicer then the old one though.

Posted by: Kubason Feb 9 2011, 07:37 PM

I actually like this new look but it reminds me of lancer, you know, like if they took lancer front bumper, touched it with a hammer and placed it on this car

Posted by: Carly. Feb 9 2011, 09:22 PM

Lancers, GTRs, and some Audis are the only cars that can pull off that front end. Period.

Posted by: Ed. Feb 10 2011, 02:46 AM

The new charger's a load of s**t.

how was it designed? 2 Door, big lazy V8. GT land barge with the most horsepower of a production car of it's Era.
Today, what is it? 4 door auto fat lazy family car.

f**k the charger.

Posted by: Carly. Feb 10 2011, 02:49 AM

Agreed. Chrysler sure knows how to ruin a classic. What's next? A Plymouth Fury minivan?

Posted by: ChevyRacer454 Feb 10 2011, 03:30 AM

it looks like an angry fish and really DMC... i kow you hate american cars but really...

Give me one in black that way the body is the same color as the grill and WIN!

Posted by: civicfan14 Feb 10 2011, 03:34 AM

Yeah, crap like this is why I stopped liking new cars long ago.

Gimme back the 90's and the early 00's....rice burners, sport compacts and C5 Vette...man, those were awesome times...what happened...

Posted by: Helmasaur King Feb 10 2011, 03:43 AM

Very cool, they should remake the geo metro somebody

Posted by: Unox. Feb 10 2011, 05:31 AM

Posted by: AndrewGMC Feb 10 2011, 05:52 AM

what the f**k is going on with car makers, anything good is 2 expensive, and everything else is a pos

6.2 Chevy LSA V8, 550HP (It's a camaro ZL1 if you're wondering)



Hyundai's most powerful car ever, Hyundai Genesis R-Spec.. 429-hp Tau 5.0-liter V8.

Posted by: ChevyRacer454 Feb 10 2011, 04:24 PM

Posted by: DMC-12 Feb 10 2011, 05:51 PM

Also, i've been least harsh to this car than most here

Posted by: Hellrazr Feb 10 2011, 06:53 PM

Posted by: Madset. Feb 11 2011, 04:29 AM

Posted by: ChevyRacer454 Feb 19 2011, 07:08 AM

Posted by: civicfan14 Feb 20 2011, 04:12 AM

This could be an Eclipse...or a Talon.

Posted by: DLuZive Feb 20 2011, 04:21 AM

Posted by: Daniel. Feb 20 2011, 04:48 PM

Posted by: Daniel. Feb 21 2011, 01:09 PM

ahh my bad, didn't know that ;d

Posted by: Mkid Feb 21 2011, 06:34 PM

update: I drove by a dodge dealer on saturday and guess what I saw spinning on a platform?



It didn't have that black middle section though.

Posted by: DLuZive Feb 21 2011, 09:08 PM

I drove by a Dodge dealer once, it had only
Avenger
Nitro
Calibre

we get 4 different dodges..
There's now a dodge journey

Posted by: Kubason Feb 24 2011, 07:59 AM

agree, it lost most of its agressive and sport look, it is not the Pagani how it used to be

Posted by: DLuZive Feb 24 2011, 08:12 AM

What do you mean it's not how they used to be.. They've only made one other car, with heaps of different models..

Posted by: Daniel. Feb 24 2011, 10:13 AM

The Zonda is really what Pagani stands for, that's why they don't make other models. If you see this new thing with the annoying name, you won't be like: Oh! It's a new Pagani!

u c where im goin thar?

Posted by: DLuZive Feb 24 2011, 10:32 AM

i like it

Posted by: _Kevin_ Feb 25 2011, 04:00 PM

Pagani is making a new model called the Huayra. Which is kinda like the Zonda.

I have mixed feelings about the front but the rest is sexy.

Posted by: AndrewGMC Feb 25 2011, 04:20 PM

DID U MOLOTOVED IT?

Posted by: Faяaп. Feb 25 2011, 11:32 PM

I saw a couple commercials of the charger on tv, it doesnt have the big ass grill. just the chrome top part and 1 part under.
thats 2011.


and that pagani is a different model, you cant rly say its not how it used to be, since there never was 1 before
thats the same as saying a honda pilot isnt how a civic used to be

Posted by: Mkid Feb 28 2011, 04:36 PM

One of my friends took a picture of the one I drove by that one day:



Note the chrome grill and lack of black on the bumper...

Posted by: _Kevin_ Feb 28 2011, 09:41 PM

I think if they moved the "vent" on the side doors up to the front quarter panels it would look a whole lot better

Posted by: ChevyRacer454 Mar 1 2011, 03:10 AM

probably an R/T

duncan would probably love this

Posted by: Josн Mar 1 2011, 04:15 AM

the black grille on the charger is for the srt8

Posted by: Faяaп. Mar 1 2011, 04:30 AM

idk what to think about the rear


it resembles the oldschool chargers more but its different doesnt look as powerful


Btw, does anyone like the fronts of the new acuras at all?!
uggly pointy full flat chrome grill. rest is iight

Posted by: Mkid Mar 1 2011, 05:06 AM

I know a few people who really like those chrome Acura fronts. I'm not one of them though.

As for the door vent, they are trying to make it look like this:


The tails too:

Posted by: _Kevin_ Mar 1 2011, 02:09 PM

But the vents on the old one start right at where the door starts lol

Posted by: DMC-12 Mar 1 2011, 02:12 PM

It's a poor attempt to turn a great muscle car into a 4 door family car...

Posted by: ChevyRacer454 Mar 1 2011, 03:27 PM

your just upset the UK doesn't get it

have fun with the Lancia version of the 300
