Im curious to see how everyone likes the new chargers.  Im not sure what to make of them.  They seem nice, but look nothing like their predecessors.  I  think they look a bit too much like a Mercedes.  Not that Im complaining though.  It does still look mean.

I like them, a friend of mine's family has one of the new ones (as well as a couple old ones) and I really do like them.  The new ones have a lot of style and I think they look nice-I would rather see them be a 2-door but thats OK.

Of course, the old one's are MUCH better-but there isn't anything much better than a classic American muscle car.

I would cosider buying an SRT-8 one if it was a 2 door. they ruined the car by making it a sedan in my opinion

the car should be raw not a tame sedan

The big rumor at the moment (and there is evidence to it) is that Dodge is going to release a 2-door version in 2007 using the Challenger name.

I'm talking about any car company.  They haven't equaled the style or appearance and the only ones that can equil the performance are insanely expensive.

My point it that the reason they are remkaing muscle cars is that there hasn't been anything better built.  The American companies (or any other car company) haven't managed to build a better car with the performance or style.

That of couse excludes the insanely expensive cars out there-but for the a "normal" person's price range there is nothing better IMHO.

I'd still take the RX-8 and use the spare money on other things.
Although yes the european 350z is the better model, its still 5000 to expensive.

I won't. The 350Z is no eye-catcher, but according to many car testers, it drives excellently.

The 350Z is balenced quite well, probably better than the RX-8

having driven both i would say the exact opposite, but give me an s2000 over both of them. The rx-8 really isn't that impressive, i would say that it doesn't deserve the rx name plate

I agree, I really don't like the RX-8, or the 350Z for that matter, but on topic, I kinda like the Charger, think it's kinda cool, but I don't know about the 4 doors, or the fact that it's pretty much a 300C - I fecking hate that car.

EDIT: Crap! I forgot this was on page 2! Sorry for bumping an old topic, everyone. Embarrassed
