Ouch, and I thought you guys were picky...

[ferrarimanf355]

Hi. Remember me? Yeah, you do. Remember when I registered and started a flame war about giving Fallout: PoS a chance? I thought you guys were picky, that if a game wasn't exactly a certain way, it wasn't worth two shits to you guys and was automatically bad, regardless of the quality of the product. (Of course, this was before the game was released and almost universally panned... ) I thought Fallout fans were the most finicky fans in the world.


Then Dodge unveiled the production version of the 2006 Charger a few days ago at the Detroit auto show, and Mopar Nation went collectively apeshit over the fact that the '06 Charger is a four-door sedan, not the two-door fastback like the Chargers of old.

The '06 Charger

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Exhibit C

And it goes on and on...

... and on...

...like hyenas to fresh meat...

... or a rhino to a baby.

Seems like Trevor Creed (DaimlerChrysler's head of Chrysler Group design) is the Mopar version of Herve Caen... I think you guys know what I mean.

As for my two cents... I like the looks of the '06 Charger, rather nice without being too outlandish. The only thing that worries me a little is that there's no word of a manual transmission yet... I'm still holding out hope here for a stick shifter, as that's the only thing holding me back from really loving it. If it doesn't happen, well, there's always the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06...

It's still got a hemi, it still kicks ass.

But I miss the badass look of the old charger.

 

[Ratty Sr.]

Bah, American cars... Is it just me, or do all Corvettes look more or less the same? As for the new Charger, I would rather be seen driving a lawnmower.

Pipboy! *hugs*

Where's Floreda?

/me wants this car

 

[Murdoch]

Looks like a dildo Wooz, try this one on for size:

Did I mention I loved Gone in 60 Seconds (the new one?)

Car thread derail!

 

[Colt]

Please. Both of those cars suck compared to this baby.

 

[Ratty Sr.]

All your shitty cars pale when compared to this one:

 

[[PCE]el_Prez]

whats the price tag on the charger? The 2005 Mustang GT is fully loaded at about 25K.

 

[DJ Slamák]

This car will own you all and eat your babies.

 

[KQX]

Uh, excuse me guys but, i think this is what everyone wants to see. Real pwnage:

Manufactured: 1988
Ccm: 902
Kw: 33 Kw
Hp: 45

Feel free to lock the thread because you can't top that.

Actually, the Mustang GT starts at 25K. Fully loaded, it's around 29K. I think the Charger will be priced similar to the Magnum: expect the Hemi version to start around 30K.

So I don't have my own car, but this is the car I drive when I get to borrow the old mans:

Peugeot 807 (Not the one in the pic though, but same awesomness. Do you realize how many chicks I can pick up in that thing?

 

[PsychoSniper]

About as many as in a Yugo proably.

 

[Lukus]

You are forgetting that 1) I could pay them, and B):

The Yugo limo.

 

[Ratty Sr.]

Yugo? My Mum had that car for years. I miss it to this day.

 

[Wooz]

These things rule, you can make them run with the motor inside your coffee mill. Or two AA batteries.

 

[calculon000]

I honestly wish I had any of these cars. Taking the bus is a bitch in winter.

 

[Colt]

Not if you get to seduce college women on the bus. Not that I do this... Yet. - Colt

still less than the magnum and probably significantly less than the charger. Also, the mustang looks better
