man i like it, but i dont expecit it to look like the old chargers either.
i dont care if its retro or not really. dodge hasnt had a car to compete
with mustangs and camaros for a long time and now there is at least
something.
and also, until this year the stangs did not look like older stangs. and
the last couple of models for camaros looked nothing like old camaros.
my point is, if the charger had never died off in the first place, it may
well have evolved in to the form that is coming out now, and nobody would
have been complaining about "retro" looks. but im sure people would still
complain about the 4 doors :)
