    Everyone says that the Challenger is a big car. Well, the new Charger is actually bigger and much heavier!

    The only Chargers I liked were in the 60s and 70s. That new Charger will never look as good as any Challenger ever produced. I would never trade my Challenger for one. The body is kind of flat and meh, like another computer generated car...

    I wonder what the designers of the 2006 Challenger Concept, Micheal Castiglione and Alan Barrington, think of the new Charger? They were so true to the design of the 1970 Challenger.

    In some ways that new Charger is closer to the old Charger, but not close enough. Big problem is no V8 Hemi under the hood.
