I havent posted much lately, but I notice how everyone who once hated the new Charger are now embracing it. Its just funny to me. I like the new chargers (SRT). Some people here were dead set against it and I see they have now seen the light. LOL
A lot of folks like the new gen, which is good for them...and Dodge.
I haven't changed my mind however, just like Flex...it's not for me.
It doesn't mean I don't appreciate that others love them and are doing nice mods on them that look great.
Perhaps what the OP is sensing is the fading of the vocal disappointment some first gen owners had that is now turned to quiet acceptance of their existence. That doesn't mean they have "seen the light" and are now buying them.
And, in the true spirit of Mopar brotherhood, both gens are now equally accepted and appreciated by nearly all on the Forum...even if we might individually have a strong preference for one over the other.

I agree with Flex and Ddaddy.
The front end is down right ugly.

Following what Ddaddy and Flex and others said. I have accepted that others like the new ones and that is fine. Not going to be changing or trading in the 06. Hasn't even hit 10k miles yet!!
Like the taillights on the new one. Other than that, just not a fan. BUT not dissing anyone that does like them. Have lots of new Charger customers and respect their choice as well!
Regards,
Brian
