I have an inexplicable hard-on for for the 2011-2014 model

But you are absolutely correct with 1968 being #1

Something about those just looks off to me. They’re kinda pudgy, and those wheels have not aged well IMO.

You just said yes with an exclamation point to a Ramcharger a few minutes ago.

The only real nits I have to pick is that the 71-74 is too high and the 66-67 is a spot too low.

I don’t understand the hate of the 1969. I mean it’s kind of ugly, but it’s not really that different from those before or after aside from ugly.

The ‘69 split grille is the biggest affront to styling of all time.

Kinja'd!!! "Nibbles" (nibbles)

More sculpted, better lines and those taillights

Kinja'd!!! "Nibbles" (nibbles)

Nope. 11-14 had better lines, beautiful taillights and an interior not by fisher price

08/15/2017 at 23:56, STARS: 0

Why? I really want to understand. The 71-74 also had a split grille, yet you have that in third.

The Charger Daytona is missing at the top of your list.

08/16/2017 at 00:01, STARS: 0

It’s really over-styled. It is bulgy and has weird shapes just for an aggressive look. Too much of that is held over in the 2015+, but I think the 2015+ toned it down a bit and looks a lot better. The 2011-2014 feels like the middle child that is trying too hard for attention.

Seriously? Here are some bigger affronts to styling, off the top of my head.

Honda CRZ
Ssangyong Actyon
1961 Plymouth (god bless Exner though)
Dodge Darts except 70-72
Isuzu Ascender LWB
Late 40s to mid 50s Packards
1958 Packard, specifically.
1990s FSO Polonez
Suzuki Cervo first generation facelift
Dodge Caliber
Consulier GTP
VW Cabrio Mk3.5
Mitsuoka Orochi
BMC ADO17 aka Austin Landcrab
Ferrari LaFerrari
Ford Pinto facelift
Toyota Land Cruiser J50
1957-60 Ford F-Series
Citroen Ami*
Matra 530*
Lexus NX
Toyota GT-86
Panhard Dyna & PL-17*
Hyundai Sonata Hybrid 2010-2014

Sure, hyperbole on your part. But it’s kind of like saying Megan Fox is the ugliest creature to ever walk the planet because her thumbs bother you a little.

*They are French though so we can’t really blame them.

Different massing entirely. The ‘69 is a massive step back from the cleanliness of the ‘68.

I can only agree if the poor 69 wasnt so far down. It’s not the poor things fault Chrysler did that to it. And in even better news we got the 70s charger because of it!

Also the 71+ looks terrible in low trims, at least the 69 is consistently ok looking

I wish Lee didn’t have so much stigma, the car is awesome. Lee was a interesting guy, not without faults, but admirable in other respects and on the wrong side of history. Swap the stars and bars for old glory and have people read an unabridged history text.

1969

1968

1966 & 1967

1971-1974
