You are correct Scott, Caddy is kickin' Butt in the design market right now. The CTS is a great looking Car.

The new "Charger" doesn't look bad for a 4-door sedan. It just shouldn't have been named "Charger".

It seems no matter how the car companies try and bring back old platforms they always seem to flop unless they bring back some of the old look also, i.e. Mustang. If GM would do a new camaro with some of the old lines it would probably be cool, otherwise we see new and remember the good of the old and it doesn't work. I wouldn't buy a new Charger or new 4 door Camaro. My .02.

Dear Dodge,

When you come out with new cars, atleast try and make them look different from one another. And one more thing, if you are going to bring back a classic car that was originally 2 F#CKING doors, LEAVE IT WITH 2 F#CKING DOORS!

The problem is the mass market. Most people would want the 4 door sedan, and dont cherish the name on the car. I mean most probably dont even know the original chargers. I have to really like the 300's and think it was an awesome move and some nice setups they are now coming with. I also love the CTS and new STS. This "Charger" has so much potential for aftermarket like the 300, it will sell, and I am willing to be in the coming years there will be some serious factory available power in it.

Sales is always gonna beat out nostalgia (I can't spell)!

I also find it rediculous that NASCAR still uses specific models, even though they look nothing like the real thing. If it werent for the headlight stickers on the front, it'd be near impossible to tell what the hell the car was supposed to be.
