    I don't like the way the headlights sit back so far in relation to the grill and bumper. The rest looks pretty good.

    Overall I like it but with the grille painted like that the mouth looks just a little too big.

    Found this picture on Jalopnik which represents what I mean.

    The 1970 Dodge Charger is like the ultimate car EVER!!!

    Dodge really blew it with this retro Charger.

    Where the both the old and new Challengers are sexy, the new Charger is... well.... FAIL!

    I like it, but it does look a bit Japanese.

    maybe by design, for foreign markets?

    btw, is this a facelift or a new car? does it still ride on the old (2 generations back) MB E-class chassis?

    Does it hurt being wrong?
    Kidding :D

    I think the 2012 looks much more muscular than the previous body style. I'd still take either one though, as long as someone else paid for the rear tires I'd go through.

    My first reaction was a thumbs up, but I do think the front bumper needs to be painted across the grill area; too much of a black hole. Looks worse with a more contrasting color, e.g. red...

    Technically we agree, but it should be standard. Not all that crap attached to it.

    That does look good Ashwin :)

    Still it doesn't catch the feel of the original Charger. But a nice car anyway :)

    I like it except for the front. It looks to much like an EVO, which is not a good thing.

    Looks half finished to me. Lots of stuff going on up front, but nothing in the back.

    Reverse mullet.

    I think seeing this car as a successor to the original Charger is a mistake. This is just a product naming disaster.

    I'm trying to figure out how car makers can make grills any bigger.

    It reminds me of the tail fin wars of the 50's.
