2006 New Dodge vehicles

[Simba '04]

Currently the Dodge Charger, Dodge Viper SRT-10 coupe, and Dodge Magnum SRT-8 have now all been officially unveiled making me jump for joy :p :cheese:

Ok I just made this thread because I wanted to hear your opinions on the new line up for Dodge.

My opinions:

2006 Dodge Charger-
I truly think this car is one incredibly awesome machine and everyone who puts it down is no Dodge fan and could careless about the automotive world. The biggest thing Dodge fans have criticized is the grill in which I have fallen in love with and I beleive it suits the car well.

2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 coupe-
Ok, I am going to have to let this design grow on me and the color chosen for the Gen IV Viper was not too impressive to me because it doesn't fit the car at all. Overall I think it is pretty cool though.

2006 Dodge Magnum SRT-8-
This car is just freakin awesome with 425 HP base without a supercharger or turbo, all HEMI power! I highly look foward to this car and the body package on it is superb.

Yes let's all applaud Dodge for moving in the right direction as far as fuel economy and the environment are concerned...

[sarcasm]

[Simba '04]

actually Dodge and Chrysler have been doing better with gas mileage and now have a design on the HEMI's that cuts off 4 of the cylinders when not needed to help save gas. If you want gas guzzlers take a look at Chevy and GMC

[sarcasm]

As long as the consumer supports it....then you can't pin it all on one group.


Hmmm...My opinion on the new Dodges.....Make them 90% off!....Then I could get one, maybe......:D

[Xinithian]

Eh, I'm not too big of a fan of dodge... in fact, I don't think I even stopped by their display when I went to the LA Auto Show :p

I'd rather have the new Z06 (which looks absolutely incredible, BTW) than the new Viper.

your lucky I'm not a mod for Scar's Lair or else I would delete that ugly picture of crap :p, I think the new Corvette is by far the ugliest Corvette in the history of Corvettes, you can not make a American car Japanese, it is just plain retarted

And one of the problems about the old Z06s was that you could only tell by the funny side skirt thing. Now they made it a lot easier to distinguish the two.

[lion_roog]

I am a fan of fast, European-made cars.......:D

maybe...but still the Next Hemi coming out will kick the new Z06 soo bad :cheese:, I love Dodge :hugs:...I mean come on! 600 Horsepower coming from a 7.1 litre HEMI is beyond insane and I sure would love for Chevy or Ford try and do that :lol::lol::lol:

[soulImbibe]

Give me a Honda S2000 and I'll be happy :D

Yeah I know it's only 22 mpg.

[Simba '04]

Give me a Dodge NEON SRT-4 and I will be happy, yeah I know it is only 25 mpg average :(

[soulImbibe]

I would be a fan of the SRT-4 but so many people around here have them... they're quickly becoming the new Mustang for the college crowd.

[lion_roog]

I could only afford a DaeWoo.....:gasp:....But it's great on gas and the name DaeWoo is an anti-theft device in itself......:D

[Lion King Stu]

i like the look of the viper :cheese:

:lol: thats funny :p, stupid ricers :idiot:

[Darkslash]

Dodge makes some snazzy cars. I have always held respect for that brand over Ford, Chevy, GMC, Honda, or Toyota.

On another subject: I loathe cars that sound like weedwhackers. I prefer big cars, like the Mercury Grand Marquis.

[Xinithian]

Chrysler makes the best looking American cars. I hear that their quality isn't that good, but I really like the looks of the 300C.

[Darkslash]

^ indeed. very classy-looking.

[Simba '04]

That looks like the Chrysler 300C SRT-8, that is one bad beast with 425 HP and a nice shiny 6.1 HEMI engine in it :cheese:, I think they look extremely awesome and Chrysler is headed in the right direction and unfortunately I can't say the same for other car companies. Ford is starting to go down hill with some ugly concepts and Chevy, I can not stand Chevy anymore and what they are trying to do is make Japanese American cars which is retarted, but hey, they can do w/e they want to destroy their original American company.

What do you mean by "Japanese American"? Besides, I'd rather a Japanese inspired American car, since the Japanese seem to be doing the best with their cars.

[Simba '04]

they are all starting to look like Japanese cars with their body style and I think they are extremely ugly

[Xinithian]

Speaking of cars, I got the Aston Martin brochure CD and there are pictures that are 11 MBs each!! They're so high res... if you catch me on AIM I'll try to send them to you.

[Simba '04]

sounds cool dude, I will try and get aim re-installed on this pc sometime tomorrow, right now I'm letting it do some needed updates

[Xinithian]

Here are some of the "regular" pics for the DBR9 from the brochure:

Dang, those are some extremely high res photos, that is pretty cool, how did you get the cd?

At first when my dad went to the Aston showroom (because they always used to let us in before), my dad started talking to the guy and the guy wasn't getting the hint that we wanted to go into the showroom. So, since we didn't think there was much new there and to avoid rudely asking if we could go into the showroom, we just walked away. But then after we walked away, I had forgotten to ask for a brochure so we went back there, and another guy recognized us and let us in.

The DB9 has incredibly comfortable seats, and the interior is perfect. The Vanquish S is much better than the original vanquish (because they added more lines and such to the exterior to make it look better, and they improved the interior).

[Kovster]

I'll be happy with my $150k 600hp 06' Ford GT..
yes, I said it 600hp from a ford car.

I guess I'm also pretty safe in my 2001 Kia Rio... 96HP. Fun stuff.

You must not know a whole lot about your supercars, The Ford GT was designed and built by Dodge Viper team members that had been fired. The "Ford" GT is more a "Dodge" GT then a Ford

[Simba '04]

They had Dodge brains :p ;)

[Kovster]

Who wants a dodge anyways? There trucks look like somghing from an old cheezy sci-fi flick.. I mean comon why the heck make 18" wheels stock on a truck? thats stupid, you want MORE tire when your in a truck

and obviously Ford has better resources if the "viper" team could come out with a much better looking and perforaming car then Dodge ever will have.

"The 2005 Ford GT's competitors include the Ferrari 360 Modena, the Ferrari 575M, and the Ferrari 612." I like that line, no mention of any other american made car being put head to head in a "Super car".

[Simba '04]

well at least it is better than making "bling bling" wheels for them. Maybe you should do just a little bit of reasearch on trucks and you will come to find out that the Dodge line up of trucks is by far much better than any little pathetic Ford or Chevy. Every single automotive teacher I have had have all said that the Dodge Ram is by far the best work truck you can get and guess what? Only one of the 10 or more teachers was a Dodge fan, the others were Ford and Chevy fans yet they said that the Dodge trucks were much better...that is a bit odd don't you think? Since these old cheezy sci-fi flick trucks are so stupid, then why are they better than the rest? :confused: Please do explain that to me

[Kovster]

Watching you getting worked up is amusing to me, its just a stupid "vehcial"

I have a vehical from each major US manufactor. I have an 1992 Daytona IROC R/T (but that needs new brake lines), a 1996' Z34, and 1992' 300hp F-150 4x4.

[Simba '04]

you stepped in a Lion's den when you thought it would be funny to make a attack at Dodge

[Kovster]

I hate my dodge! and i've hated all the past ones we've had. I keep blowing head gaskets on this Daytona, the old 78' 250 we had dumped 3 trannies. Not to mention my daytona underbody is almost gone! I had an 86' S-10 that less body rust on it!

*hugs his Z34* Gotta love chevy's for there cars and Ford for there 'classic' style in pickups. (the older F-Series from the 80-96 the newers are,, ehh.. bla?)

[Juniper]

I have a Saturn

It's not the best, but it gets me from point A to point B with relatively good mileage so I can't complain.

If you want to get into a good debate, post on supercars.net.

[Sadiki]

I do like 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 coupe- the best of thise ;)

[lion_roog]

You better watch out, Simba of Last Year.....Kovster is a redneck...and from my understanding....they like and know about trucks......:D

[Kovster]

Wisconsin

[Darkslash]

Which state is WI?

Wisconsin.
^ Wow. *is amazed*

[Mabatu]

I don't particularly like the look of any of those cars to be honest, but that's just my opinion :cheese:

I don't know much about cars at all, nor am i really interested in them. I know i wouldn't get a Ford though because no-one in my family has ever had any luck with them :lol:

BTW i don't think we need to get into a heated discussion about who's opinion is correct here. That's just silly. :confused: I mean, every car is going to have its advantages and disadvantages, and each individual will decide which brand they think it better based on these things. But saying that one brand is better than another isn't a very valid argument. :hakuna:

[Ngatuny]

From the options available I voted for the charger, I'm not the biggest fan of Dodge/Chrysler since my experiences have been both good and bad.

[Simba_TLK]

i dont really like Dodge/Chrysler either, im not basing that on anything in particular, just my personal opinion ;)
also the fact in Aus we dont get any American made cars (other than a few Fords) :p

yeah exactly ;)

personally i tend to like Toyota :cheese: but thats me.

when it comes down to it, everybody has different opinions on things
and regardless of how many other people think it is good or not.
as long as they like it, thats all that matters :D

[nafklt]

It's kinda weird that here, in North America, there's such a thing as pickup trucks...:ishconfuzzled: I've never really known what they're for.:confused:

[Only-now]

Um..they are for hauling stuff? Towing things, etc..lol. Yeah, really all the companies have advantages and disadvantages to how theu make their vehicles. It is all really subjective in how a car looks and such. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say...so everyone is different. Just like in music where I dont really like particular bands, I dont like particular companies, only certain cars. I think the new Corvette looks good, but I wouldnt say Im a Chevy fan. The Viper looks pretty good too, not much looks to different to me....and I like Dodge Rams as well..but I am not a hardcore Dodge fan..lol. I like the F-150, and the new mustangs too...so Ford is fine as well. I think that Chystler thing looks like a box or something..its a little too square for me..lol.

I didn't know they had rednecks in WI..lol. *pokes all* Now everyone play nice! ^^
