300 coupe and vert

Will be a bit more $$$ than the Mustang, but could be tempting to people with kids who need an actual back seat. Looks like there will be a coupe version of the Dodge Magnum, too, which may be priced fairly competitively.

Doubtful, since Dodge will be releasing the Charger 4-door sedan, based on the LX platform (used by the 300 and Magnum) probably in Spring 2005. If DCX decides to make a high-powered coupe, I would think one would come from Dodge first. The Magnum's front-end is simply too truck-like to work as a coupe.

What is doubtful? It still hasn't been confirmed whether the Charger will be a two or four door. Car and Driver is saying these new 300 variants won't be out til 06. Car and Driver is saying there will be a Magnum sedan and coupe in 05.

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to figure out why Dodge would spin a coupe off the Magnum instead of the Charger, in terms of styling. The Charger promises to have a more car-like front-end than the Magnum.

From everything I've been hearing so far, it looks like the Charger will be a sedan. Dodge needs something to replace the Intrepid, after all...

Charger is said to be a suiside door coupe like the Saturn Ion and RX8. Making a 2 door coupe is a possibility. Don't forget the Charger and Magnum are taking over for the Intrepid.

That was the concept shown back in 1999 or 2000, presumably before the development of the LX platform. I thought it just looked like a Camaro with a suicide door, but that's just me. Anyway, DCX has been pretty quiet about the upcoming Charger. Everything from 2-door coupe to the 2-door-2-suicide-door coupe to a 4-door sedan has been speculated.

This is an exerpt from Motor Trend's 2006 Future Vehicle Forecast:

"2006 Dodge Charger: Rear-drive sedan will replace the cab-forward Intrepid. The Charger is expected to offer 3.7L V-6 and 4.7L V-8 engine option, with the Charger R/T featuring the new 5.7L Hemi V-8."
