They'll kill the name just like they did to the Charger.

I think they did right by the Charger and Challenger name. The new versions are very much in line with what the older ones stood for. As for the new Dart time will tell, but by the couple of photos I'm not feeling it yet. Although I never owned a Charger or a Challenger, I did own a Dart, so the new one has a lot of impressing to do.

I agree. The Challenger is true to the original name. The Charger on the other hand is a different game. The original Charger was a 2 door coupe, never a 4 door sedan. All they did was make a random car and gave it a name it should have never been badged with. It is a nice car, but should have been called something else, like Coronet or alike that was a Sedan, rather than naming it after the most popular B body Dodge muscle there was.

I'll give you that. Felt the same way when Pontiac introduced the Grand Prix as a front drive 4-door. Would have been better to just retire the name and give it a new one. Same as the last version of the Pontiac GTO (still pisses me off). The car wasn't even a USA made vehicle. Actually a Holden Monterro made in Australia. Put the GTO nametag on it to increase sales. Its all a advertising gimmick.

Agreed. Especially on the GTO nametag. It is all about the money and making sales.

Have you ever been in an SRT-8 Charger?  :drool:
Life sucks.....so drop your pants and let the good times roll!

I think life is too short to spend your time working someplace where people don't crap their pants at the mere sight of you.
