The 2011 Dodge Charger’s unofficial debut came in the form of a police cruiser which mixed things up at the Michigan State Police trials this year. And though they’ve showed off a few teasers of the new full-sized Dodge, the updated Charger’s official debut won’t come until the annual Las Vegas tuner-fest known as the SEMA show. Which begs the question: when will Dodge start marketing this car to consumers that are neither law enforcement officers nor criminals? We kid… sort of. Meanwhile, this rendering gives you some idea of what Dodge’s less-classy customers might do to their own 2011 Charger. Still interested?

I'm with most of you, the wheels are turrible. The rest of the car is okay, but I like the Challenger better. The 2011 Challenger SRT8 is going to have a 6.4 liter Hemi with 470 horsepower, and should be at the SEMA show, too.
I can see it now: "Buick" stick-on portholes, "B" pillar chrome stick-on trim, Stick-on chrome "shark fin" trim on the back doors, Wheel well chrome half-rings, neon lighting, any other you-name-it piece of garbage you can waste money on to bling this thing out. Other than that, it looks like an improvement over the current boxy-looking edition.
Me gusta.
I actually appreciate cars like these and the aforementioned pimped out 300's. It's blatant and obvious advertising of exactly who you are dealing with. This way, you can quickly decide if you want to avoid them or manipulate them to your liking.
