Dodge Charger Coupe

GMInsidenews


By Swahili


I came into some information about a 2 door Charger prototype when I talked to a close friend and now an automotive 'news source'. What I learned is that there is a 2 door Dodge Charger prototype sitting in the Brampton plant hidden away somewhere. The decision on whether or not to build a 2 door Charger relies on the sales success of the current four door Charger. If sales are seen to be as successful as the Chrysler 300 then there is a really strong chance for the green light to be given to produce a 2 door version of Dodge's newest muscle car.



***This chop completed by acascianelli of GMI***
(acascianelli's chop does not necessarily show what the 2 door prototype looks like, but merely what the prototype might look like)

If the chopped the roof a little and made the nose slope down a bit and a little less blunt, it could have potential.

I think the photochop version is rather ugly, but I think the sedan is rather ugly too. I just really don't like that front.

I like it, it's agressive and will probably age better than the 300.

I just think it looks stub nosed, something that really just doesn't work for me on a sports car.

I do think the nose is rather odd, it's too upright, it gives it a muscle car look, and I don't like that on new cars.  It kinda reminds me of a pig.

The more that I look at it, the more I think that the front of the car just doesn't go with the rest of the car. Give it a new front and it'd look great.

My thoughts exactly on the pig thing

You guys are just now finding out about a Charger coupe?! I asked the guy at NAIAS about it and he said there is one in the works. I posted it on JC al while back in my show review, too.

Oh, I didn't see that, I really needed more time at the Auto Show, I could've inspected more cars and asked people things.

300 miles to spend less than 3 hours? Find yourself a better travel buddy next time.

Ummm.....go home.  My friend went and spent less time than me, if I wasn't afraid to get lost, once I turned 16 I'd go, but that's not gonna happen.

They drove that far and only let you stay two and a half hours?

Yes, I think we've established that by now.  My parents are stupid and I only spent 2 and 1/2 hours at the Auto Show.  Any more questions?

When you can drive, why don't you? You can spend the time from now until next year learning how to read a map, and you won't get lost.

I think he's implying that his parents wouldn't go for that, and that's understandable.

Then they should let him stay longer.
