I do. I saw one the other day. For a split second, I thought it was reversing up the road.

The Quality of Chrysler or more correctly, lack of it is what sets it apart
from Ford and GM, I consider Taurus and Cadillac CTS as a notch better.

6 month old Charger goes up in flames...LINK
Not a good look for your police fleet sales
Hang on.... it still started after that inferno?

What a car.

I still prefer the old one to this, the old one is more "gangsta".

thanks for the info. According to the intranet you are right.

From the reports I read at the time I always assumed that the chassis was based on an old Mercedes E class.....you learn something new everyday.

I think the new 300 styling is a big step backwards. Interior is better, but they should have kept the exterior the way it is.
The 2011 Dodge Charger on the other hand, has gone from looking semi-ordinary to... wow! A great improvement all around. A good video review by Jay Leno too.
