why is the charger left out of the big 3?

I've been seeing many camaros, mustangs and chargers today and it got me thinking. Chargers seem like a better fit than the challanger. Just looking at body shape and such.

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot to post this.

I respectfully disagree

Great food for thought but I think the Challenger fits the mold better than the four door Chargers.

It's 4 doors and isn't related to its heritage at all. It's an ok car but it should have never been called a charger.

Simple. Chargers are left out bc they have 4 doors.
4 door cars are not part of the muscle car/ pony car world. Period.

How in the world does Challenger not "fit as well" as a Charger????

In my opinion the shape and body style doesn't matter that much, the new camaro doesn't look like the old ones yet it is still a muscle car. The challenger/mustangs closely resemble their counterparts from the late 60s and early 70s. The one thing that makes the charger not a muscle car is the number of doors.

Agree it's the door count.

I'm not a huge Challenger fan, but if the Charger is an indication of what Dodge is going then I think they have a strong future. The Charger is probably the best looking 4 door out there IMO.

Definitely an issue with the 4 doors, but I'm not crazy about the rear end on the charger either. Not sure if I dislike the Mustank or Charger rear more..

Challenger is a gorgeous machine.

Charger is a sedan, and many people don't think of a muscle car as a sedan. That's basically the only reason.

I also believe this is the case. Why would they do that though?
