A four door, more retro designed charger would be nice. I think some improvements will come now that they have direct competition coming from the Pontiac G8. But I would not expect a two door charger anytime soon.

I would expect a VCT upgrade for the 5.7L. Maybe a better transmission years down the road. I would dream they would style the Charger after the 1999 concept, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.

i thought they were already on the same platform????
that pontiac G8 us fooooggly man. I don't think the G8 will be any competion for the charger, espeically with the re-vamped 5.7. The G8 will go down like the Titanic.
They should of kept making the GTO[X(]
