i do like the looks of the car. they managed to carry a few of the old styling cues into the newer design in a tasteful manor and the color selections are supposed to be a total throwback(they dusted off sublime and panther pink for the mag shoots i have seen so far).
hopefully they will thin the car a little or find a way to throw more power into it before they actually hit teh street and get laughed off the strip.

Without sounding like an *ss the Charger is marketed to me. I'm married with three young kids. I would love a powerful car big enough to carry all three kids and not look like a state trooper. Right now the three car seats barely fir in the back of my Accord. I need the 4 doors to get them in the back seat. I want the creature comforts during my hour commute. There are plenty of 2-door "sporty cars" like the Mustang, GTO, and future Camaro. If I want the two-door experience I have my IROC. It might not be geared to the younger crowd looking for a race car but an older crowd looking for something balsey and fun but still practical and comfortable. That said I'm sure they will come out with a stripped version with the Hemi if there is demand.
