Now if they can just give the Charger that front, they're set.

I like that a lot, but I like the Charger front too.

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

That's great.
What iffy said too.

Damn, that's really sweet.  They just made a good looking car even better looking.

I wonder how the non-SRT models will look.

I'm thinking they won't say "SRT" on the front.

I prefer the current one  :huh: This one looks too square.

They don't sell it here anyway, ah well.

Catman

Wow looks good.  I'll ask the chief if I can get one. :P

CaseyNPham

Hmm. It went to kinda ugly to not as ugly.

Good improvement ^_~

That was not sarcastic.

Looks great, a nice improvement over the older model.

I still think the Charger has a nicer front, but this is a nice improvement.

I like the old one better...this looks like those cheap aftermarket projector headlights...from a much smaller car

No, but you DO get the Chrysler 300 Estate which we in the Colonies don't.  Personally, I like the 300's front MUCH better.  Still, if you really wanted to, you could buy the 300 Estate and order the front clip of the Dodge Magnum from America and, with a bit of DIY, have your very own Magnum Estate.

I tell you what, I'll make you a deal.
You buy the 300 Estate and I'll buy the Magnum.  I'll send you the Magnum's front end bits and you send me the 300's front end bits and we'll both have exactly what we want!

Better yet, I'll just emigrate to the UK so I can buy all those brilliant hot hatches we don't get over here.  That's my long-term plan, anyway.  Know anyone hiring over there?

I really like it.

I didn't realise that the US doesn't get this, either:



3.0 V6, 3.0 V6 diesel, 5.7 V8 or 6.1 SRT-8.

It's okay.  But I still can't find any more than lukewarm interest in this car.   :huh:

That's the one I was talking about.
IMO, that looks MUCH better than the Magnum front, old or new.

If Chrysler offered this one (with the Euro-only Mercedes turbodiesel engine) in Third-World America I would be all over it in a heartbeat!  Why does nearly every carmaker have to screw-up the US-versions of their cars? :banghead:  Just give us the good stuff for once, dammit!!!
