because dodge needs two 2 door coupes and absolutely does not need a player in the mid-size 4 door sedan market.

Fine, but don't call it a Charger. Calling a four door sedan a Charger just is whoring out the name.

Absolutely. The Charger is defined solely by having 2 doors, any more is an abomination and a disgrace to the name.

Long live real Chargers! Like this fine example from 1986:


I mean, sure its only got a 4 banger under the hood. And sure, its front wheel drive. And sure, it looks boring ... even by 1980's standards. But hey, its only got 2 doors so its a real Charger, not like the garbage they've got on the lots these days

um, all current chargers from 2005 have 4 doors. there has not been a 2 door charger since the front drive hatchback from the 80s.

i personally prefer the charger name over any alphanumeric title they could have given it. however i am a younger member who doesn't identify with the original car.

You gotta have someway to carry the slicks to the track. One in the back seat, one on the rack plus your cooler, floor jack and tools in the trunk.

I know they have been a 4 door for a while. My friend at work bought one back in 07. I just wondered why did they decide to go the 4 door direction? I never did understand that.

It's not just about the doors. Anyone can see that abomination is also whoring out the Charger name.
