The interiors...alright...



I'm still one of the "muscle car purists" who doesn't like the 4-doors...but oh well.  I can't do anything about it.  Can't even drive anyway, so what's it matter? lol ^_^

The interior looks a lot better with the aluminum trim, but it is still a bit dull and boring. I actually prefer the Charger over the 300.

I'll hafta disagree with you there...I like the 300's interior better.  :P   But the Charger's is better than I had expected but it wouldn't be my favorite place in the world to be either.

The aluminum trim definitely spruces up the Magnum's rather dull interior.

They should have made this a much sportier car...it should do something to live up to its name.  And 4 doors doesnt help.

I'd say the Hemi gets rid of all complaints about a lack of sportiness in about 5.3 seconds.

So just about the only thing connecting this to the old Charger is the straight line acceleration...but then again, Muscle Cars were not such good performers in the twisties.

What can you connect with the Charger anyway? A confederate flag? I'd doubt Dodge would get far with that...

I saw one sitting in front of a Dodge dealership a couple days ago.  Its not a bad looking car.  But the idiots messed up the name, they gave thier new sedan a muscle car name   <_<

Would you like for them to replicate the handling as well? I really don't have a problem with them calling this car a Charger. At least they didn't put the name on some bloated FWD sedan like one domestic manufacturer likes to do.

The old muscle cars absolutely sucked at the twisties...they were all about straight line acceleration.

Yes, that is why my comment was so funny
