YES, the interior is going to be all new! Look at the Ram and 2011 Grand Cherokee just to get an idea of the great interior it should have, also someone mentioned performance, it is going to have the new Pentastar V6 with at least 290HP, and that is if it does NOT have direct injection. SRT8 should appear with the new 6.4. As for the R/T model, nothing but rumors so far. They say possibly 400+HP from the 5.7 Hemi. Can't wait for the official announcement in a few months.

Why would people think it's going to have a completely new look? It's pretty rare that car companies completely throw out a design- they usually try to carry some of the old through to the new one to keep it recognizable.

I liked the old front end better. My biggest problem is how the grill slants in at the top.

And for those who believe the current charger is a disgrace to the name because it has 4 doors, I present to you the previous generation of Dodge Charger:

I guess you all love that one, since it has 2 doors not 4. Never mind the lack of a V8, RWD, and attitude.

At least it looks a little more aggressive and not as "crappy sedan" as before!!
Maybe Dodge will take the time to re-do the interior too! the same one shared with the challenger and the 300. because its caca! i love the challenger until i looked inside... :(

I'm sure it is. Ford added an extra 15hp to the 4.6 3Vs in the 2010s by adding a CAI. Isn't the current 5.7 Hemi rated at 375hp already?

The car engines are rated at around 375 (I think it varies a bit for the different cars its put into) but the Ram has a practically identical engine rated at 390. And many reports have the 5.7L Challenger/Charger putting down comparable RWHP to the 400 hp Camaros ...

372 in the Challenger auto and 376 in the manual, 368-372 in the CHarger, 390 in the Ram, 360 in the 11 Grand Cherokee, it is just all over the board lol
