I remember when the Chagnum floated on... lot of opinions for good or bad. However we have now a new Charger ( with 2 DOORS option) and no comments on board yet?.

That's a surprise for me.

If any coment or thread in the past, I missed it

Me to, I like it but it's (And all new cars) costly!  :2thumbs:

LaOtto70Charger

I really like it. Cost is scary. The few that made it to car lots around are all priced more than some of the trucks.

 There aren't any new cars available in 2026 that I am even remotely interested in.

So many cars look the same as the ones that their competition is selling.
Trucks have become too thick and tall, the 4 door truck thing is stupid to me, I see trucks not as family vehicles but as work vehicles and sporty rigs.
The new Charger body styling does look nice but electric power is not for guys like me that want the sounds and smells of a gasoline powered V8. I don't care that their inline 6 is faster, it is a straight six, man. That was never cool.

I have nothing against the electric Chargers
Just wish they had a cheaper price version of it
The only ones that seem to be out there to choose from are the expensive and the more stupid expensive versions

Not every Charger has to be fast  They did make a slant 6 version in them at one time long ago
Why not have an economy one now gas or electric ?

Only truck I've had for the past 20 years is a 1987 Toyota.  I don't need a truck but did need a new vehicle and ended up with a new Ram Limited.  100% would prefer it wasn't a 4 door but 10 year 100k powertrain warranty is good.  540hp inline 6 makes it decently quick and ZF 8 speed trans is my favorite automatic. (as I prefer manual trans) 

Have no problem with a turbo inline 6.  2JZ and many great BMW engines in that configuration. 

In a Charger however would prefer a naturally aspirated V8.  (everything I have other than the truck now is naturally aspirated).

Pictures of the OP's new Charger. I wouldn't mind seeing your truck too.

Uhhh, the OP must use the term "We" to me the buying public, not himself.
It is like when a boss says "We have to really work hard as a team" when all he does is bark orders.

I guess it can be interpreted in different ways. "WE" could refer to the Charger "community", like when military dudes refer to fellow soldiers as "brothers".
Regardless....
If your intention was to shame the guy for mentioning the new Charger without owning one himself, I'd remind you that Nacho is a pretty decent guy. He steps in to help others with tech questions when they need it. This forum is mostly dead in that regard though. Maybe three members here actually post about stuff they are doing.

About the new Charger (fortunately I don't have to use the Chagnum therm again refering to a new model LOL). I'd like to see it personally first to judge the actual look. On pics and vid's looks really great,

About drivetrain, I'm agree with you. Not against the ones available but a V8 could be cool. I think too many options with the turbo 6 (4 of the 6 variants... the other 2 being EV). Some of them could be a V8, however I can understand the body was precisely redesigned for the EV initially (hence why dropped the Chagnum and Challenger platform), found the way to fit a L6 gasoline engine on the same body and could be hard to fit a V8 :shruggy:

On a side note... who has seen the new Charger personally? Compared with the LX Plattform, does it look about the same size/big? Or smaller? On pics they seems to be smaller or less "muscle".

I have seen the Challenger personally many times, a bit less the Chagnums (most of them the first ones, LX, not the lates LD).

It seems is really possible!.... Now, what is involved?

Yeap, well, by specs they are larger and wider, but the final look or design tells the last word.

In person I think they look better than the pictures.  They have design keys from 2nd gens. Also reminds me of a first Gen since the trunk space isn't separated.  Size wise I would really like to see a 2nd Gen and new one side by side.  Instead of a V8 I would like to see a v6 or inline six in about 300 hp for 30 to 40k.
