Yes I have seen the pics and I think I'm more dissapointed with
DC putting the Charger name on it than the car itself. The design
is not to bad, but when they label it the Charger, it just doesn't seem
to fit. If they were a little more interested in Charger history and the
past
designs instead of worrying about what parts from current productions
would fit, I think it would have turned out differently. The concept car
they had a few years back hit the nail on the head and the Charger name
would have fit nicely.

have you seen pics of the new charger ? it is butt ugly and there is no
styling cues from the old charger what so ever. DC new designs suck!!!
