I just saw my first photo of the 2006 Charger coupe. Guess what car we love is already being copied?

I guess they are going by "if you can't beat em copy them". I was wondering how long it would take for that to happen.

That front end REALLY looks similar, at least from the side.
I can't remember... did anybody try copying the PT Cruiser after it came out? It was almost as hard to get as the Mustang GT

cars change some times alot from concept to release. i mean our beloved mustang had some changes from what we saw the first time till the released it. this has to be a charger what else could it be? unless they call that car a challenger! that would be sweet. i think they see what a sales boom ford has and don't want to mess up like GM did with the GTO.

Dodge isn't making a coupe version of the new Charger.

scroll down the first page for the photo and the article:
"DaimlerChrysler executives say the company has already taken 20,000 orders for the 2006 Dodge Charger and identified 85,000 potential buyers (i.e., deadbeats). Still, DCX probably shouldn’t haul out the good china quite yet. Global Insight is predicting annual sales of 70,000 Chargers, which are respectable numbers to be sure, but not exactly eye-popping — considering the company sells like a half-million minivans each year. "

Ok, I read the whole article, and there was no mention of a coupe version coming out, so what's your point?
