I grew up loving this car for its sheer beauty in the Dukes of Hazard and dreamt that one day I would own one.

Now that I am all grown up and saw that Chrysler defaced and forever soiled the name of Charger by taking a Chrysler 300 and simply renaming it Charger with nothing more than a redesigned grill with the typical Dodge plus-sign cross style, I will never buy one of those ugly damn things.
The Challenger and Charger are based on the same platform. Just like the Cornet and Charger in the 60's. Dodge should have made the current Challenger a Charger and came out with a mid-size platform for the Challenger. The 4 door platform was not originally designed to be a Charger, but some pin heads in Marketing decided to name it that.
