Bruh, you gave the charger concept a standing ovation for being a really cool design, and then the production version comes out looking nearly identical, and now you're backtracking? Dude, come on
Edit: also, the car wasn't meant to look like a Challenger replacement. *It was meant to look like a Charger.* The Charger's lines were always more organic than the Challenger's lines, yet you're not complaining about that. Also, that line you brought up at the front side that you said emphasizes the length is supposed to be a callback to the higher front ends that muscle cars used to have. Look, I respect your opinion when it comes to car design, but some of your takes on designs make me cringe, and this is one of them. Maybe compare it to the original Charger instead of the Challenger, because it's an unfair comparison
for real, it pisses me off that he's comparing this to the challenger, it's so cringe.
this comment is super spot on, this is a charger not a challenger. this production model is pretty much 1:1 w the concept that was unveiled, though these first pictures felt a little jarring at first and I realize now it's literally just down to the wheels. throw something retro styled on there and this is a damn faithful modernization of the og charger.
Frankly I think it looks boring. It’s the same design we’ve seen for over a decade now. I’m afraid that if this is ALL dodge has to offer, they may as well start making their funeral plans.
@@Soh90 so... you've basically never seen a Dodge then? literally only 2 cars out of Dodge's entire lineup look like this, the charger and challenger. also, it looks like this because guess what, Dodge has literally built their roots off of the charger and challenger and have just updated the design to be more modern as the years go by. that's like saying ford's design is stale because they still make a mustang that looks like a 1965...
Agreed I like his opinions (mine align most of the time) but yeah this is a charger I’m sure in ten years they’ll do the challenger again lol
You're comparing oranges to tangerines. This is a CHARGER. Take a look at the 69 Charger, and you'll see where the inspiration comes from. I think they knocked it out of the park with the design. Unfortunately, it's an EV. I hope the ICE versions can live up to their predecessors.
Superior powertrain with classic design is a win win to me.
The rear sits way to low...looks like a hyena.
Just needs the doors fixed.
Looks butt ugly no matter what inspired the design.
392 and Hellcat swappers:
I love it, I owned a 70 Dodge Charger years ago I want one.
It's not based on a challenger design, it's based the 68-70 Charger design.
all it does is remind me what we lost. this car is just sad.
I hate it. I don't care how fast it is or how much dodge try to justify EV's. I don't want no electric or 6 cylinder car.
I can also see '65 - '67 Charger in the design too. This is basically what a modern interpretation of what a 1st and 2nd gen Charger would look like put together.
@@MigBlackmond I drive a challenger GT AWD and it's a fun car. I know they're not using the pentastar anymore (they're using the hurricane), but ive got a bola exhaust on this thing and it screams. It doesn't sound like a v8 it sounds good in it own right. A straight six can sound incredible and have the performance to back it up.
@@werecomingforyou9041 back in the day my family had an Astro van (v6) with glass pack mufflers and it sounded awesome!
Honestly, it would be better to compare it to the charger.
As for me, I feel like it's a modern day version of the iconic 1969 Dodge Charger with the design of the fascia.
I honestly feel like this is what a modern day 1969 Charger would most likely look like.
I also hope to see some Dukes Of Hazzard fans make this into a modern-day General Lee!
yep, people have been telling him this since they first showed the concept and yet he still compares it to the challenger.
I get a more 66-67 Charger Vibe especially the rear deck lid and the sloping trunk or should I say Hatch !!!
An AWD modern General Lee could be interesting, in spite of the weight. Let's see it rally!
@@findango Gotta remember that weight is for the EV only now the ICE Versions will be significantly lighter.
My biggest issue is the sloping hood line makes the front fascia look like it's slipping off. It just looks awkward, especially being rounded so there's a bulge to it. Doesn't jive with the rest of the beltline, either.
I like the new Charger. Reminds me of the 68 - 70-models.
Exactly what I thought, I even see a little bit of first gen Charger as well.
I would take a 68 or 69 over the new crap all day even if it had a 225 tower of power
The muscle has atrophied
It's also even fatter. 5800lbs. Nearly 3 tons.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.....Best comment👍👍👍
How? The muscle is now more powerful.
@@Josh-179it's the design that's being talked about.
😂😂
The original 66-67 Chargers were fastbacks that had that long roofline like the new one. People need to realize there were Chargers before Challengers ever existed.
Thank you for making that point!!
This new design actually reminds me of the Australian market Charger, with its slightly awkward fastback proportions.
Yeah definitely
It harkens back to the current and past Charger designs, and it is not hard to find similarities, therefore comparing it to Challenger is not appropriate.
Looks better than the concept to me, and it looks a lot better in colors like red and blue. The silver doesn't do it justice
Looks better til you have to pay for that cheap battery after the warranty expires.
@@seven1productions819 oh I don't want an EV only talking looks. I would only be interested in this car if they dropped a 392 Hemi in it
The proportions are awkward. I kind of like the 4-door version better. You're right that the rear deck is too short. They could have still made it a hatchback with a longer rear deck lid. The side behind the door to the rear wheel is too long. The roof line is too long, and that is exaggerated by the short rear end.
Weird to compare this car to a different nameplate and at higher widebody trim at that. Comparing this to the original it was inspired by, or to the charger it is replacing would make far more sense. I think this hurt the point you were trying to make more than helping it.
True its not even the EV hellcat
You do know the name means nothing LMFAO they made the last gen charger a fcking 4 door
Nobody is getting hurt here. People are writing comments so everything works as planned. 👍
@@stuchly1 Your comment makes 0 sense.
@@mattmasi303 That's because the 60's era chargers could seat 4 people, it just happened to have 2 doors. Almost like the new one is doing the same thing. Clearly the nameplates mean something. Some people just don't pay attention to that fact.
I understand they're both 2 doors, but I don't think the Challenger should be in this comparison. Compare the new model to the outgoing and late 60s Chargers' design. The lines of the canopy and the back 2/3 of the car look very reminiscent of the 68 and 69 models. The nose does seem a bit wonky, although I do like the air passway thru the nose and over the hood. I think that grill opening needs to be opened up a bit, top to bottom. I do think darker colors could hide some of the more awkward front end lines.
The fake engine noise will be awkward regardless, so why not get relative with it and offer some unique settings.
I finally figured it out. It's the roof line. It slopes down and makes it ugly
yes. a straight level roof which would sit lower would make it perfect. but its a trashy ev, so it is a no go anyway
Yeah, it looks like a 2 door version of a 4 door car.
If you check out Dodge’s actual channel and reveal video, you can at least hear the start up of the ICE variant right before they show it. Reminds me of the b58 sound just deeper/lower.
I’ve taken some listens/comparisons. Now I’d say the sound is basically b58 with a muffler delete.
Interior looks like recent Lexuses especially Lexus LS. While on the Outside it looks like Hyundai Iconic 5. Actually Hyundai's Iconic 5 EV and some of Hyundai 76 seem like they were a huge inspiration for this one! Seems we're back to the Malaise era
Extended wheel arches will be a thing and I think it will help the new Charger.
Not on the EV. It would nuke the range.
@@freddybell8328 If you are buying a EV thats meant to be a muscle car then RANGE DOESNT MATTER
@@aleu4618it does matter when it comes to daily driving especially if they want to sell them .people will just buy the ice model
@@kevinporter1832 I really don't think you know the market because if you did you would know range isn't important in this case. The ICE hemis get awful gas mileage and range, but that's the fun of it with a big gas guzzling boat. These aren't meant for long distances
@@kevinporter1832if you don't think people will buy an 8 second wide body EV, you're on a different planet. Will that variants be their top seller? No. And neither is the Z06 for Chevy.
this car is BEGGING for fender flares
Sketch Monkey redesign??? YES, PLEASE!!!
It looks like a crossover hatchback.
Probably a highly modified Hornet lol
135 top speed is WIIILLDDDDD 💀💀💀
It’s a limiter most cars are being forced to have it but it can be taken off easily a good example would be extremely good tires
@@392zeze I agree but let’s see if they CAN remove the limiter on these EVs. You know how the govt is
@@Kermwitapermhuh? Govt? The new plaid does 200+.
@@fj06carnone I understand, that’s why 135 top speed for these is crazy
Saves lives. I'm tired of fools flying pass doing 150+ on the expressway.
The new charger design just looks very subdued and flat like a shiny brick.
The front end is a plain, boring disaster
My 2013 SRT8 gonna look that much Better with these on the Road!😅😅
Remarkable styling job. This is the first time I've really wanted a new car in a while. And they did a great job of balancing form with function. Not every muscle car buyer is willing to sacrifice function on the altar of style and, anyway, the new one is so good-looking there's no sacrifice at all.
Design has a closer look of 1966 charger in comparison of all other classic cars dodge charger 1966-1973.
My main problem with this car is the placement of the roof
This car is not suppose to mimick the hatch back tailgate
I think pushing the c pillar a couple of inches to the front and also adding that part that looks like a body kit to the car i think it would look really cool
So the electric and 6 cylinder engine isn't a problem
@@MigBlackmond correct because hes talking about the design not the powertrain
I’m just realizing this is the second time since the 1980s that Dodge has made a Charger without a V8.
The car doesnt look aggressive at all.
If we are being honest, we wouldn't hate it if it wasn't a "charger". It just feels like an insult to the "charger" name. What real charger sounds like a hoover?
How is it an insult to the charger name when the og charger name fits the ev...
@@JRLL81_ I think you are misunderstanding my point. I dont like the design but could see it working much better as a bmw or an audi. IIt is an insult to the charge name due to its design. It is nothing like the charger was historically imo, and the lines look... wrong. The stringent at best link between EV and the word charger doesn't really matter as it wasn't what I meant. If you are talking about the OG charger then that came out in '66 with a 5.2 V8, definitely not an EV
Crying about EVs as if they'll suddenly go away is just pathetic at this point. That said, this design clearly takes it's cues from the '69 charger which had smoother transitions in its lines and a longer roofline than the challenger that is being compared for some reason. Claiming this is an insult is just your opinion with no basis in reality. The inline 6 will sell plenty regardless especially when the widebody variants show up.
@@MuShinnenright. This ain’t even about how it’s powered, it’s based on styling, Dassit!! As for this video, it’s stupid to compare this to the challenger design wise. Especially when he said which car better represents the 60s & 70’s. Cause they BOTH DO IT WELL!! They are both modern representations of the past. Charger is based on the 67- 68 model and Challenger only had one year, the 70.
@@JRLL81_ a charger should never be an ev. thats the point.
Looks just ok but a muscle car should have “muscles” and the new one lacks them. Look at the hips and wheel arches on the previous generation, just slap them on the new model and there you’ll have a nice redesign respecting most of the key lines.
the "old one" is the challenger and the widebody variant. this is actually based off of the 70s charger, take a look and you'll see why it's so curvy.
Thats whats called a modern muscle car. Completely different from the design inspiration for the new charger
@@DodgerFloofyou’re right, I meant the previous model.
It looks like a Charger. No, it not a flared widebody with massive aero accouterments circa last century. It doesn't have a budging, scooped hood and stripe package. It's an EV. It's a modern rendition, an EV one at that, in unchartered waters . Overall, I like it as a "first" year model. Love the shape, 2 doors, and the hatchback. And remember, this isn't the beast. This is "mid-tier".
BUT you are comparing a CHARGER against a CHALLENGER?
Technically they dont need to have any resemblance.
The last charger was a sedan that resembled neither of the originals lmao whut
i think the new one looks basically like a random coupe, with the greenhouse doors and hood, just with the dodge bumpers in the front and rear attached to it, like a body kit or a mod :p
The 69 charger is considered a random coupe?
as others below have siad you comparing apples to oranges here two different dodge cars
the challengers from 2008-2014 were based on the 1970 challengers and the challengers from 2015-2023 were based on the 1971 dodge challengers
this new charger is based on elements from the first and second gen chargers the interior and huge trunk space and tail lights are based on the first gen chargers of 1966 and 1967
while the body lines are based on the second gen chargers of 1968 through 1970
those are the cars you should have been using in this not the 2015-2023 challenger
What are you talking about? The normal scat pack does NOT do 0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds. The HELLCAT does 0 to 60 in 3.7. The 6.4 is rated around 4.4 A8 and 4.5 M6...
I give this car maximum age of 5 years
The design is not trying to mimic the challenger. I don’t know if you know musclecar started in the 50s and 60s so the second GEN hemi came out in the 60s what cars were around in the 60s one of the cars that reminds me of the new charger front end is the cornet the sides, and the rear end reminds me of the 68 charger that’s what I think, of course
Hopefully the new one gets a Widebody kit and crazy EV for acceleration then V8 for power hybrid version in a couple years.
7:05 Comparing a Widebody to a non-widebody isn't the most fair, so hopefully we get a glimpse of what the Widebody version looks like
Also, 9:54 It's likely because of aerodynamic concerns, because the EV is a lot heavier than the ICE version they probably opted for that.
This NEW design is a wide body! In its longest R/T form, the Charger Daytona measures 206.6 inches long, more than 5 inches longer than the outgoing four-door Charger Hellcat Redeye. The wheelbase is 121 inches, an inch more than the old four-door Charger. And at 79.8 inches wide, the Daytona coupe is 1.5 inches wider than the widebody Chargers.
@@josephacevedo8376 Thanks for the info, yeah I wish they would add the fender things and stuff to help with that "blank space"
It looks like the banyo playing kid from deliverance version of the challenger.
The 2024 uses more design cues from the 66-67 Chargers. The Challenger of course pays its homage to the 70-74 Challengers. Now on the New Charger if you look closely to the side profile especially up front where you mentioned the cut off line it is mimics the 68-70 Chargers with the how flat their noses were. To me both show their heritage to Muscle Cars or Lore !!!! I think it will be a homerun once the Ice Versions hit the market probably springtime next year
Why do u compare it to a challenger when it’s clearly made to resemble a 60s and 70s charger
The C-Piller reminds me of a GTR
A return of a 2 door Charger is a welcome event. The clean lines impress me and they evoke the 1968-70 design, which to my eyes is a very good thing. The 1970 Challenger is also a great design - I never warmed up to the 2007 (and beyond) version - too big, too chunky - although one cannot ignore the performance of the recent versions.
Look up a 2000 Chrysler Sebring thats what new charger looks like
I am still excited about it and think it looks fantastic
Especially fascinating to me how they kept the relatively high hood line look while actually making it way lower, for aero.
I dislike in general that car manufacturers use horsepower and torque as a measurement for their vehicles. It comes off as if it's comparable to a car with a real engine. Afterall, horsepower is torque x RPM.
My Opinion: The new design nailed it. The hatchback required a more steeply raked roofline and loosing the bump on the rear side brings the car into the modern era. Overall, this design has a strong nod to the past without living in the past. Love it!
Yes this design takes inspiration from the original charger which I am happy about. Yes the old challenger might look better but that’s because you’re comparing a wide body with the new standard charger. Better comparison would be the new base charger and the old base v8 challenger.
charger vs. challenger is apples to oranges....I like the new design of the charger, and am SOOOO glad they finally made it back into a factory 2 door.
You are comparing a wide-body Challenger to a narrow-body Charger. Not really fair. Why didn’t you compare the standard narrow-body Challenger to the new Charger?
With all due respect…
You’re telling me that you’re about to spend the entirety of this video fully comparing The Dodge CHARGER’s Successor to The current Challenger?
Two DIFFERENT cars…
That, DO NOT Look similar and then elaborate on why they DO NOT look similar?
How much time was put into this video? If u want to do it for fun that’s cool i guess, But WHY?
Specifically referring to the challenger as “The old one” …
bruh this isn’t “the new one” it’s literally a different car.
Why there’s no mention of any other PREVIOUS Charger on the video is WILD.
The 60’s charger basically DEFINED what we refer to as “classic muscle proportions “ to this day. That coke bottle shape has always been it’s main factor and you’re comparing it to the Chrysler Brick ? I’m Lost…
Again no disrespect but this is video is an ENTIRE L .
He had me like: "surely there is a current model of the charger sold these days?... The cop car one? That is a dodge, right? I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS "
@@why6212 Ikr!! 🤣🤣
I’d like to get a job where the designs run their ideas through me before they put it into production. I’d be making millions
u got points but it is based on the 60s daytona, which also looked sleeker and more aerodynamic than other muscle cars of the time. And other points about the hatchback proportions, the space in front side, etc., I agree with you that the Challenger is more beautiful but all of these can be kind of seen on the 60s Charger Daytonas, so I think they did a great job. Just take a look at 60s Daytona, even the gear shifter is similar.
Also, I don’t think this is replacing the Challenger, it is a Charger after all.
In profile, I think its because of a decision to save cost, as there is no longer a challenger but one model, the charger, now with 2 or 4 doors, as opposed to what you suggested that it was more designed like this, with these proportions because it needed to be EV and as you should know, its really designed to utilize both EV and petrol versions. When you look in side profile view, they basically did what others have done in the past when they made a 2 door coupe, after the fact, meaning taking a design from the ground up as a sedan, than taking off the back doors, extending the front doors, to make a 2 door with what amounts to a compromised coupe, sitting on the same wheelbase as the sedan version it's based on. Yes, they chose to launch the car first with the 2 door but it was designed from the ground up to be a sedan. This is completely different then the 3 and 4 series and the C Class for instance. I think also that is why the engineers felt it feasible to make the charger 2 door, a hatchback like rear opening and not a trunk as it just made sense with the sedans rear sloping roof design and short deck to make it a liftgate on a 2 door model and put a marketing spin on it as its a coupe but more versatile! This is all obviously my opinion on it, just like you, and your take on it. Lastly, you do see on the EV version, because they had the clearance and because they also needed better efficiency, they couldn't make the hood straight and blunt - I think the solution/compromise they came up with, retaining the top part and verticality of the front facia and making it like a wing, gives the illusion of the past designs but the efficiency courtesy the sloping hood. And the chargers with the petrol engines they kept it old school with even a power bulge in the hood and if you look at it head on, you'll see it's almost styled identically with the EV, except for two additional cutouts under the headlights, obviously for additional cooling needs of the combustion engine. BTW, enjoy your content, as I'm here from TheSketchMonkey.
Comparing a Charger that's heavily inspired by the original Charger
With a Widebody Challenger
The last charger was a sedan , y'all smooth brained
I think the new charger is trying to emulate the 66-67 charger
It looks exactly like the Charger and Challenger had a kid. It looks great imo. But it needs round LED's to look like the previous Challenger.
First time seeing your channel. Pretty good man. I’m a designer/custom builder that i do for homes and landscape in Florida so I’m interested in watching you stare at the designs and see what you see. It’s made me want to start goofing around with looking at cars the same way i see the rest of the world. People don’t know that once you do design and hit a certain level that you can see into the head of other designers from their work and you can actually tell their capabilities with their mind and imagination and know right off the bat if you respect them. Lower level or limited mind designers have no idea that real natural designers can see in their head and know they suck and just follow rules of their field. Like a boring interior designer who just sticks chairs in corners of rooms and calls that design because that is what normal ppl don’t do.
Definitely liked your break down. The car does look horrible and boring on the track seen. When just sitting there inside it looks ok but any car does but that car on the track looked like an old lady car. That hatchback looks horrendous-just because Corvette got away with it doesn’t mean Mopar can and those hatchback 4cylinder chbargers in 80s were throw away disposable cars. They were a joke and embarrassing. A lot of people today don’t know the government came after V8s back in 80s and 90s and it pretty much ended up that you could on,y get a V8 in a luxury car. So we’ve been here with the govt before and all that was back then was to bring in Japanese and Korean and a few French POS cars so govt could make side cash and make us all drive garbage of which driving belts and chains broke nonstop in cars during that time-it was the first question you asked when buying a used car. They did try and brainwash ppl back then that it was acid rain and global cooling,ozone hole(fake) lol. Same scam different day. Just so you know ppl -we need acidic rain,because most soils have high PH and it neutralizes the soils so plants can take up more nutrients including the nitrogen that’s in rain. So they fooled ppl for something that is natural. We aren’t parasites ppl-stop letting them brainwash you that we are and we are on,y using stuff on planet-there is no perfect climate -it always will change and just because these old ppl grew up with it different doesn’t mean that was the perfect climate. Because their parents would argue they had the perfect climate-when you can plant food all year in Canada will be a good climate and fossils from tropical animals have been found up there so it’s been that way before and will again-that’s awesome-keep snow just up in high elevation. That will be a perfect climate. Anyway. I think Dodge is waiting to see who becomes President so they know if these ridiculous emissions laws get ripped up so they can give surprises with these cars-they did design them to be electric or gas if you notice-so they’re hoping they can do both because a V8 with electric motor to make AWD would be cool for when you’re in rain and then shut it off.
I love the look of the previous Charger much more than even the Challenger. I just wish they did a 2 door version of that, because it would have been perfect.
I think it's actually one of the best looking cars in a long time, and I'm glad they chose the Charger to do it with. The Charger has always changed with the times, it was a muscle car in the 60s, it was a land yacht in the 70s, it was a turbo hatch in the 80s, and it was a performance sedan for the 2000s and 2010s. I think they knocked it out of the park and while I'll miss the Hemi, anyone who hates on the design I can't take serious, it looks like the 66 Charger and 68 charger had a baby in 2020.
Beautiful design. Much cleaner than the Challenger.
The Challenger looked great when the current model was first released, but it seems just too big for what it is to my eye. The new Charger looks cleaner while still conveying that it's a muscle car, and even does a good job of looking like an evolution of the previous Charger design.
The design for me is better, due to the fact that I'll move through the wind force smoother. Plus the 1967 was a hatchback and the the 84 charger shelby..
Looks awesome but won’t be driving a giant cell phone around with speakers making engine noises..
I felt the opposite about the wheels, too big, I would put 17s or 18s on it
Honestly the design looks like the 60s/ 70s charger
because that's what it's inspired by
It definitely looks like a sterilized, bland version of that design. It has a nice looking butt tho.
@@Tattle-by-Tale dude... it's a clear callback to the classic muscle cars of the era...
I think they still knocked it out the park with this one. The new charger is the prime example for a great retro-futuristic design, same as the renault r5 electric. I get your point with the front overhang, but still... compared to what we're used to see recently coming out (bmw)...this is still great😄
The design of the new car is not too bad. A little conservative in a way, looks lighter, but I do notice there is a nod to the original first Dodge Charger that came out in 1966 with the way the rear window is raked - just looking at it from the rear at both left and right corners.
I feel like the concept looked way better than the production version
The original 2nd generation Charger that this new design was based on was considered more on the luxury side as opposed to the Challenger. I would buy the new Charger with the turbo inline six and hopefully they offer the SE options package.
This new design also has styling cues from the Australian built cars from the 70's.
New design 2030 model will be what everyone been waiting for💯
The concept looked really cool but now that I see the production version, they really screwed up a lot of things...
The stance is completely off, the wheels are way too small, the front dips down in a strange way from the side view and the rear looks really flat, don't know why they had to make the bumper black instead of the body color, it's like someone just randomly cut off a chunk of the rear bumper - I know they tried making it look like old Chargers but failed miserably and the moustache in the front bumper under the headlights is also really strange, none of these things were in the Daytona SRT concept
You like the Challenger, which looks like the old 70-74 Challengers. However the Charger has always looked different than the Challenger, you can't compare them. This 2025 Dodge Charger has some of the styling cues from the 1966 Dodge Charger. Compare the sloping roof lines, the rear fold down seats, and the rear trunk opening of the 66 version with the 2025.
The concept was spot on, mostly. This Looks like a 2012 Mustang Brembo GT, which I also liked quite a bit. Overall it’s cool.
I totally agree. The proportions are weird. Especially the rear. They should have went with a traditional fastback design. The interior is too futuristic. The car is 80% percent there.
Its based off the 69 charger which is my favorite car. I think the hood is to round on the new design along with the b piller being to round and far back
The Charger looks more like a successor to the 90s Dodge Avenger. They could have more closely copied the rear side window and added pseudo-vent side strakes from the 1969 Charger and it would have been a lot cooler.
Look at the 1st gen challenger from 1970 and the charger from back in the late 60s early 70s were very nice as well.
it's based off the first gen charger it's not a challenger it doesn't make sense to compare these two
The Coupe would have at least benefitted from a higher black rocker like CHally.
This new Charger coupe gives me early LX base V-6 levels of exterior excitement.
They NEEEEED to revise the front clip and nose, wheel spacers, etc to fix the stance.
IT LOOKS LIKE when a C-5 Vette is wearing that wonky C-2 clone body.
The design is very nice and symmetrical but not aggressive enough IMO. But what’s really going to kill this for MOPAR owners especially with the electric version is the Top Speed figures - 137MPH. Also I’m really getting tired with the electrics going without gauge instrument clusters but just a flat screen display. It definitely removes so much of the aggressiveness from the interior. There is definitely a lot more to be had with the interior instrument clusters. They can be digital but give more emphasis to the IC housing.
They mashed the charger and challenger together, but they left it in 'sketch mode'. I.e. they didn't refine the detailing and connections between different parts of the car well enough. Many 'parts' 'look good', but none of the parts 'really work together'...
Yes, I like your design input and I agree that the green house is way too long. That's the first thing I noticed. The 68 Charger would be nice to get your comparison opinion on. But on the is new one the 4 door proportions look better to me. So if some hotroder makes the 4 door into a 2 Dr, done! I think the hatch BS forced this horrible look for no reason but to be different. Muscle cars aren't hatches. This is basically a Magnum wagon w a notch back.
They should've designed it like the old classic charger in term of sleekness,(This body is inspired by that by the looks of it.)
I think this is a very nice, modern iteration of the first 2 gens of Charger. I’m confident in saying the design decisions were based more on aerodynamic considerations, and not on any modern “muscle car” design elements (like wheel/fender flairs, which I guess would take away some wind resistance). The roofline is a tasteful call-back to the original fastback design, and I would guess it helps with aero too. I can definitely see the 2nd-gen side character lines in this modern interpretation. I think it looks great, especially when you compare it to any other EV currently in the US market. This doesn’t need any stylistic “muscle car” pretensions. Tesla added red calipers to their Performance models, which makes a tasteful differentiation from the base models. Kudos Stellantis. This may make up for all the brand new 2023 Chargers & Challengers sitting unsold in the dealership lots.
You really need to compare it to the 1966 charger it shares more of its design from the mid to late 60's. I is not based off of the Challenger at all this makes no sense to me.
Next video, we discuss why the new Corolla doesn't look as good as the old Camry.
The increased size and weight is going to make people that don't yet call the challenger and the charger land yachts, call them land yachts.
Is a manual transmission still available???
hell no
ill wait to get one 8 years from now when the widebody versions come out
My guess is that if you get on this car at all, that 317 mile range will quickly shrink to around 230 miles. If it happens to get cold outside, there will be even more range shrinkage. 😊
One of the best car designs in 25 years I also very highly agree with that statement and they could sell it for another 10 years improvements on lighter weight better handling and better tire fit ment meaning wider wheels need to be able to fit.
Naaaah
The interior is better besides the screens, other than that......
Iìlike the design. Very nice and clean.
I understand why you used the challenger, but u shouldvd just used the old chargers of 68-70.
But i do wish the front had a more vintage boxy look, particularly the lights. On everything else about the exterior however i think i feel differently
I don’t believe this is a Challenger replacement but an actual Charger replacement. I think a Challenger will come in the future.
I agree with your comments. I think too many are focusing on whether to compare it to a challenger or a chargers, or a 69 chargers. Regardless, as a next gen 2 door dodge muscle car (unless I missed a new “Challenger” announcement), this replaces the outgoing 2/4 door charger/challenger. It’s boring. There’s no excitement. And the supersized screens (in every car) and digital dashes are out of hand. There’s not a lot a designer can do to make these feel special and different anymore…that interior looks like it could fit in a Pacifica, or Hornet, or any modern car/suv. The last few years of Challenger will be a special car for a long, long time.
Bruh it’s a charger you can even see that the front and back body lines clearly resembles the 60s-70s ones
69 Charger, not the Challenger. In the end, they dropped the ball.
