Let the Charger bling-ification begin
Rapper 50 Cent wants to be the first one to get a new Dodge Charger. He called the publisher of DUB magazine and told him he wants one right away. And Chrysler isn't wasting any time. Using this as a big PR push for the controversial Charger, Dieter Zetsche has already added it to his shtick. In a press conference pointing out the fact that 50 Cent has a 300 and now wants a Charger he said "That's two 50 Cent purchases, now, we're up to a buck." Can't wait to see what monstrosities they turn the Charger into.

"pimpin' ho's and 'Charger' Doe's..."
doesn't quite work. Cadillac Doe's is where its at.
I don't think this will help sell any chargers.

This is baffling. Dodge took a stance that they were going to market to the NASCAR crowd, so unless I see the number 50 circling Daytona, I'm not sure I understand this.

Anyone else think the rear end of the Charger (in that pic) looks like a Mitsubishi Galant?

I just came back from Detroit NAIAS. I was very disappointed with the charger. First of all the cheap materials used for the interior just dont cut it. Then the trunk lid top edge doesn't line up with the edge of the cars body. At this point I walked away from the Dodge booth and went over to Honda.

Chrysler, you've already got the 300c kill'n in the sedan market, why not make a mustang killer with a 2 door hemi charger?
i'd never buy a 4 door with a bastardized high performance name.

Another remarkably unremarkable lookin car with its lines dictated by the ever-present wind tunnel. 'Dodge Charger'??? 'Honda Accord' more like.
