Dodge Charger

Mark O

Sounds to me like when you start talking price with a car salesman & he then has to go talk to "the big guy" & bring him to the deal.

Anyway, I would like to be the first to extend a Laurel, and Hardy hanshake to Dan, The Answer Man.

And that's really the only thing that needed to be said.

OK , My girl friend picked up a black Charger RT and I have personally put about 200 miles on it. The car is the best 4 door sedan in that price range by far. She has to have a 4 door because she sells real estate and she traded in her mint BMW X5 on the spot after driving the Charger. The car has tons of room inside and stops, turns and goes like crazy. Once you get over the 4 door charger thing and drive it for a while you would agree. I can feel the Mercedes influence when driving. The gauges are sweet and the upgraded stereo is nice, the interior and panel fit is excellent. It is tight and quiet. People stare and comment on it all the time. If I were adding a sedan to my garage , this would be it. I bought another new Hemi Ram on the same day that she picked up the Charger and my Viper will never be sold. The styling grows on you and unless you have some seat time in one then you can't really be objective.The other performance 4 door sedans out there cost twice as much , and face it , if there was not a market for 4 door performance , then Porsche would not be building the Porsche Panamera 4 door. As for the Charger, they look best in black with tinted windows and some aftermarket polished wheels. Mike

Hello everyone,
First off, I would like to apologize for such a delayed response. I was not in the office throughout the week, thus, preventing me from posting for a relatively long time. I hope that Dan was able to address all your concerns accordingly.

viper spray,
It's excellent to hear such positive feedback regarding the '06 Charger. I had a chance to see one in person and I have to say, that the last thing on my mind when I saw the vehicle was that it was a 4-door. Without trying to sound like an advertisement, it was a visually appealing myriad of style, boldness and a strong stance that many vehicles in the sedan segment are struggling to keep up with. I think that the re-invention of this vehicle will leave an indelible mark on the sedan market. Where else are you going to find an American-made sedan that has the ability to offer you 340hp while giving you more than respectable 17mpg in the city and 25mpg on the highway? Not to mention that these numbers can be improved depending on your car-care and driving habits. In addition to that, I completely agree with you on your thought that the only way you can be objective about the vehicle is to actually take a ride in it for yourself. That being said, I think I am going to go test drive the one that I got a chance to look at! Let me know if you have any questions regarding this or any other of the other '06 Dodge Chargers.

Talk to you soon.

4 Doors, if only we could get stow and go seating the charger would be the ultimate multi purpose vehicle!

The rear seat folds down and opens up into the trunk , I think.

Makara

Correction: Because DC would rather sell the bastardized charger than the bastardized Viper.

You have to remember that they are selling SRTs now.

Mark O

I know exactly what they are thinking.

It ought to. It's mostly one of these, but without all the good parts:

Actually, Terry Delong of ProFinish-ProGlass did redesign the Lil' Red Express and Chrysler gave him a Design Award at '03 SEMA for it:

Note the frontmount intercooler in the first pic, there's a large single turbo hiding under the carbon/kevlar Air Grabber hood. :thumb:

See now that is fuckin cool. I'm not much of a struck guy but a new version of that truck is better than some gay orange ram with a wing on the back

needaviper

That truck is sweet but I think it could do without all of the "go fast" stickers on the back window.

Lucifer

Ahhh...those pics were taken at SEMA. They're manufactures that sponsored the vehicle.

Dodge threw a fit when the truck was unloaded in the Gold Lot and it didn't have any "Dodge" emblems on it.

Sgt. Snatch

Those pictures have emblems on it, so Dodge made them put the emblems back on or what?

Mark O

Let me get this straight. You work for Dodge, are hyping the car here as the greatest thing since sliced bread, & you've seen, in person, ONE '06 Charger?


Yes, you do sound like an advertisement. :doh:


Having had the chance to see only ONE in person, what on earth can you ever tell us, other than a bunch of gobble-dee-gook from the corporate playbook?

NOITALL

$100 says he knows shit all about cars anyway..


Hey Miguel, ask your boss if he wants to hire someone who actually gives a shit about cars and the preservation of the domestic auto industry. I'm availiable in May.

Lucifer

Yes, before it could be placed in the Dodge display they demanded that he put the "Dodge" and "Hemi" emblems back on.

Mark O

Yo, Miguel, where are you? Don't you love us anymore???????
