Dodge has been using that grill since they intro'd the newer style Ram. I guess it's their trademark. They really shoud tone it down on cars, but it looks fine on trucks

Just wait until it's around $9.18 :p. At least we have more economical cars anyhow ;)

I think most jap cars look just as bad as american cars tbh. The Charger HEMI can shut down half of its cylinders, but the 17/25 eff. still sucks.

The new one looks completely different from the classic. "Modernize" the look my ass. It's a cheap and simple re-use of an established brand name.

IMO, Dodge REALLY fucked up the design of that car. Four fucking doors? :dork:
I won't say that I don't like the way it looks at least somewhat, but it's most definitely NOT a Charger. If Dodge had done as good a job with revitalizing the Charger as Ford did with the Mustang, well, that would be something to see.

also, you could look into those new AWD lexus things, they seem pretty nice.
Subaru doesn't do anything for me. My problem is I cannot keep a car for more than 2 years becase they bore me.

Most Lexus' look like poorly remade cheap toyotas on the outside and bore me to tears. My car bores me to tears, I want something BIG bulky and quick enough to get out of it's own way.

As for the gas issue I am considering the SXT version rather than the 8 cylinder RT models, but the Hemi also is a multi displacement engine and runs on 4 cylinders while cruising so...

Don't worry, sir. I will not besmirch the Foose name. If it was anyone else, you'd hear a lot more whining. :)

The Z was a lease and a bitch to get rid of after only 2 years of a 4 year lease. This is why I got an XG350, they were so despirate for the sale they ate the price of the 350Z and gave me the car for invoice.

The rest were financed with no money down.

you'll like the charger, just be sure to get the biggest engine they offer otherwise you'll just be wanting more.
