SassyGrass! - NeoRetro color for the Charger
Well this is just Plum Crazy! Actually, no, it's Sublime. Our friends over at ChargerForums.com have obtained some information about the latest special edition of the LX cars; the Dodge Charger Daytona Sublime Edition. Sublime refers to the eye-popping shade of green, instantly harking back to the "Sublime Green" hue of the musclecar era. A total of 1500 Sublime Daytona R/Ts will be built, and the model is slated to debut in December, just in time for Christmas. The color is hideous in a radioactive pea-soup kinda way, just like it was back in 1970, perfect. Us car guys love it for the way it makes MoPars stand out like a sour-apple Spree candy. That's the very same reason you may have a hard time convincing others that their colorphobia is the real problem. We hope that this 4th edition of special Charger isn't the last, as the Chrysler group strip-mines their mod past. Thanks to tipster John for the info!

That's kick ass.
Now please, for the love of all things good automotive, put in a 6 speed manual transmission.

That actually doesn't look that bad at all. Red and Orange were still the better colors for this car... but where is Plum Crazy!?

I hate the new charger but this color is alright. Sublime is a color for the people desperate to turn heads.

All it need is this turbo system (I belive its the STS rear mount turno system) and you can run 11.7 @123mph
Dodge Charger SRT-8 turbo

Being a Mopar guy, I love that decided to bring back a sweet name (Charger) and engine (Hemi), but this color to me would be better suited on the Challenger. I have been disappointed ever since the 1999 concept Charger was brought into being, seeing the 4 doors. Now they are just killing the true Mopar fans with this added feature. It only highlights the other two doors the "Charger" is not to have. If they would have only named it Coronet and if they wanted to muscle one up they could have made it the "Super Bee". Its bad enough I will not be able to afford a Challenger when it comes out, but to have to stand by and see the next level of "what can we do to this sedan to make it a muscle car" to make it sell till 2010. Yikes, help me.

Of all the old "HI Impact" colors that Mopar had in the late 60's early 70's and they had to re-introduce this one? If only it had been Plum Crazy (purple) or Lemon Twist (yellow).

according to the Dodge Charger brochure, Plum Crazy is a "late availability" color for 2007. I believe they will introduce it in late spring to help late spring/early sales. The sublime and plum crazy paints are a limited run (1500 units) according to my chrysler rep friend.

Okay, I'll allow the Sublime if you give me B5 Blue Metallic with a white Bumblebee Stripe. And no alloy wheels; CHROME, baby!

They're getting there...
all we need now is a 2 door... refine the tail lights so they run across the back....(yes across the trunk).. and they'll really have a winner.

I would expect the Challenger to be available in all these Mopar colors as well, so dont fret there.
Dodge knows the market they are aiming at with the Challenger and it is significantly different then that of the Charger.

Diden't they use that same color on a factory hoped up Neon for autocross racing in the early 90s?

A door would pretty much be the Challenger that is on its way. Just to directly state what a few previous comments have implied.

That should read "A two door..."
Too used to having the ability to edit...
