Not a fan of EV's. I haven't investigated these new Chargers, however they are popping up on dealers lots and from an appearance standpoint I like the look of them. They are not a 68 Charger but they aren't a bad looking car. I won't be buying one whether it's gas, electric or hydrogen powered however.
Some people should put some research and facts into their opinions. Emotions don't form good opinions and result in lost arguments.

This is where people need to inform themselves about tariffs. Almost everything you hear in the news is outright wrong or without enough information as to where the numbers comes from or how they are deriving it to be informative. Don't believe everything you hear on CNN, FOX, CBC. They all have been paid to present any subject with a certain slant. So corroborate from sources around the globe.

My tire guy told me yesterday that 14's and 15's will be unavailable for purchase within 5 years. 

They still make tire sizes for Model A`s and other old cars so I think they will be still be available but probably only thru specialty companies like Coker.

I just don't understand why they waited until now to finally re-release a 2-door model of the Charger, one that is arguably the best looking one to come out since 1970.  :drunk:

Ya! This! I was never a fan of the four door Charger. Like it was fine as far as a four door sedan goes...but, imo, real chargers were two door machines.

When the new Charger came out the bean counters didn`t see a two door selling very well so didn`t want o invest in it, of course they then made the new Challenger which proved them wrong. I had an `06 V6 version and really liked it but would have liked it more if it was a two door.

I would change the wheels and take off the General Lee numbers.

I was always partial to this conversion. it's a real one, I got to see it once at a show in Golden/CO and it is drop dead gorgeous

The only thing flat earthers fear, is sphere itself.

'70 Barracuda B5/B5 225 /6 3spd ... about as bare bones as they came .... now in 4spd flavor

Now that's what the initial 'new' Charger release should have been.

Other than the paint color/finish I agree that is one is really nice!

Well, I saw my first EV Charger on the road and all I can say is what a total disappointment in person.  Photos and marketing I was withholding judgement, but man, I think they missed the mark by a mile.  The roofline is very high and the windshield looks huge, the front fascia is uninspiring, the back half seems short.  Maybe it was the trim level or the white paint, but it was very boring to me.  I don't understand how these manufacturers can be SO far off when using a legendary moniker - the Challenger and Mustangs (with the exception of the Mach-E - like, why even call it a Mustang?) I think have been pretty spot on and true to the original.

Personally i think its gorgeous !!  Motor Trend magazine did comparison of the new Charger "muscle car" and a 2025 Mustang Dark horse.   Why?  Not sure? The new Charger isn't a pony car...instead it is a powerful grand tourer with great handling and POWER ,  similar to the first gen Charger or the Second Gen Charger.   

Stellantis cant sell them however !!  Why not..simple priced too high.  Tesla just announced the new Tesla Y at it stickers for $50,000.   Every Charger Daytona on my local dealers lot bottom Window sticker price is in the mid 60's and up.   To try to get around this Stellantis and dealers are offering huge, huge discounts.  See:  https://www.johnhiesterchryslerdodgejeep.com/new/Dodge/2024-Dodge-Charger-2b86d413ac182c9706aad5b0ff97e33c.htm  $22,900 discount on a 2024 (i thought they were all 2025's) brings the price down to $48,056...   Discounts on 2025;s are in the $8-10K range. 

Now, u have to like electric vehicles..   I do ...but their priced too high. 
 
Still at $48,000  i might just take my 66 Charger 383 down there and see if they'll give me $30K for it !!  At the age of 77 i would be set for life and not give a shit about fact that its a 2024.
