Someones, Stone White. 'R' package. Hemi 5.7L VCT Engine (372 hp/401 tq). MyGiG. NAV. UConnect.

No more '08 antenna.

My comments, Taillights are weird

Theres not much difference between the old and new taillights. I like the new ones better, especially at night.

The taillight are to ricer-ish IMO.

kevin2323 · 08-02-2008, 12:17 PM

tail lights look like they came from the neon, I agree too ricerish. Besides that I'M LOVING the 400+ torque on the new 5.7 engine and I love those new seats.

So they upgraged the engine, the taillights, and the suede-leather seats, even though the seats are nice, they could have worked on the interior

I liked the old lights. They should have stuck to those and changed something else. Either way, the Charger is a nice car for sure.

It's still fugly :(
I would never call it "Charger". It's just some joke. Chrysler FAILs.
Why couldn't they do a new gen so beautiful and respecting own heritage like Challenger?

*DGthe3* · 08-02-2008, 05:17 PM

I agree that they should have left the tail lights alone and instead worked on the interior. Its also good for Dodge that they stepped up the power on the engine, have they done anything about its fuel economy though?

Its much more deserving of the name charger than the ones from the 80's are, at least its a large rear drive V8. The styling has grown on me too

those remind me of the Acura RSX taillights...being all pouchy outy like that...
doesn't look bad..just another oddity to get used to.
definitely makes the rear end not look as bold tho. the way it's set up it makes it look wussy. (no offense). I like your charger tho muscle master
