Dodge to market Charger SRT8 Super Bee for 2007
Bog-standard Dodge Charger SRT8 a little too subtle for yah? You're in luck. The brand continues to adhere to its praxis of raiding the company's decal archives with today's confirmation of the forthcoming Charger SRT8 Super Bee. Available this Fall as a 2007 model, the announcement heralds the availability of 'Detonator Yellow' on the Charger's color palette. In this iteration, the exterior's banana motif is repeated inside, courtesy yellow stitching on the seats, shift knob and wheel.
In other news, the 2006 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will see a limited-production 'TorRed' paint option, following on the heels of the Go ManGo! and Top Bananas editions. And remember, kids... "Oy!" is just "Yo!" spelled backwards.

I JUST BOUGHT A 2006 CHARGER DAYTONA AND DROVE IT TO THE COAST YESTERDAY AND IT RIDES GOOD, HAS TONS OF POWER FOR PASSING ON THE HILLS. CORNERING IS MORE THAN A PERSON HAS BALLS FOR ( AT LEAST ME) OVERALL IT IS FUN AND QUICK

The Super Bee was an affordable muscle car. Now we are making it the most expensive car in the lineup for over $40,000. Can you make it with the 5.7 liter HEMI and bring down the price? Make it in Plum Crazy purple or Lime Lite green. Take out all the luxury items that nobody really needs. Lose the weight, take out the insulation, and make it roar like a muscle car. Muscle cars are bare bone cars with big motors. If you tried this you would probably see a lot of Chargers on the road. I barely see any. It is a shame when the Chrysler 300 is a bigger seller than the Charger. Come on make it cheap and powerful!

It will just make my silver 2006 SRT8 look even better. The Bee has too much stripping and you get confused looking at it.

lol all i can say is this. i owned a 1968 charger for 22 years. sold it 3 years ago. i just bought the top banana number 151 daytona r/t. if you have not driven one. then maybe you shouldn't say anything. i kicked that little rice burning lexus IS. which by the way is suppose to be quicker. if you think this super bee coming out isn't bad ass. your nuts. it's about practicality. look around. there are alot of chargers on the street. you reperesent a small few who would not but it. and you better take a look at manufacturers stock prices. the only ones going anywhere are basically toyota ( which i despise) and daimler chrysler. so i guess thinking these guys are doing a crappy job. really isn't all that true now. is it? and the charger is and always was a heavy weight. if you know anything about muscle cars. they are not meant to compete with the pony cars. the challenger is. and none of the stangs are gonna stand up to that baby. go daimler. your doing a great job.

Just when I thought I had seen the worst that Dodge could offer, out comes this pig.
Who are these cars being marketed towards; guys that wear camouflage all the time?
This is actually worse than the purple Daytona Ram pickup i saw recently.

OHHHHH, NOT A GOOD IDEA!
Hopefully ZeeGermans will kill this one.

Oh dear Lord that is sweet! Reminds me of the '69 RoadRunner I had. Except this would have heat, wouldn't leak exhaust, and would get better than 8mpg. ;-)

I don't get why they can't just lose some pounds on the car and make it with a manual transmission! I'd love this one in the Mango color if it had a manual transmission option.

I love Chrysler products but when I saw this beast with it's mis-matched bumblebee(?) stripe, I checked the calendar to see if it was April 1st. Ugh.

As a designer, I like it! Cars are fun, ego machines, and an emotional purchase. What Chrylser built was a conservatively styled, slightly retro-cued, four door. This bumblebee just ratchets the 'fun' factor way, way up! There's just nothing as whimsical as a car that moves like butterfly, and stings like a bee! Awesome move, congrats to the DCX crew. I love looking at all the fun badging in the 70's from Mopar. Too bad they didn't band the black and yellow stripes on the tail, a more BOLD bumblebee. The car would look even better with agressive black stripes around the rear and, a black vinyl roof and, i'm not done, a bunch of chrome around the windows. Take it a few steps further, and I'll buy one. Forget tasteful little cues, go for it!

I bet that wing provides some crazy downforce.

The blacked in area between the tail lights looks good,
but the Bumble
Bee decal does not fit the body lines in any way. It's worse than a 78-79
decal clad Mustang Cobra. I would feel embarrassed being seen in it.

People say they destest the spoiler because it's useless but they don't look at the rest of the car. If cars were styled to maximize aerodynamics and visibility to be functional they would look like crap. It could be said the charger doesn't need any of its body lines and every surface should be rounded and pillers super thin. A giant streched teardrop would produce much less drag but not look nearly as good. It's a matter of preference, some people like the sporty/agressive look of spoilers, big front intakes,wheel well bulges, splitters or diffusers some don't. Don't say you hate it because it's useless because pretty much everything engineered to please asethetics is.

Would have liked it with two doors and cut a little shorter, but oh well.
