Modern "Styling" Has Cloned Everything

Dibbons · Nov 1, 2019

Since its inception, the Dodge Chargers always could be picked out in a crowd of other cars, today not the case. A 2017 Nissan looks about the same as a 2017 Charger.

IMHO far from it one to other.

the mississippi madman · Nov 1, 2019

I don't see the resemblance besides both of them being white

Dibbons · Nov 1, 2019

I don't mind the current idea of four doors, but pine for the distinctive styling.

Cranky · Nov 1, 2019

The roof is similar.....a little bit but so are so many others. The rest is totally different.

Slap Stick · Nov 1, 2019

Many brands look similar because much of the styling is farmed out to design studios.

Don Frelier · Nov 1, 2019

A charger should have only 2 doors.

More doors equals more whores.

We've been through this before.

It's all about aerodynamics.

The 2005 mustang and Charger were the first cars in decades NOT to have a front end that was styled purely to be aerodynamic.

And they will still go 200 MPH!

Other than being white and 4 doors, I don't see any resemblance.

Apart from aerodynamics a lot of the "similar" designs are a result of design rules to pass current legislation relating to various criteria e.g. pedestrian impact. You wouldn't be allowed fins anymore for instance.

for a 4 door sedan looks pretty damn good

I'd like to see a 2dr version, but Dodge/SRT is reluctant
maybe after they do a 'cuda version they've promised US for a decade now
they'll do a retro Charger in a 2 dr

or like this one (still looks like 4 drs)

2017 Charger RT Supercharged 426ci Hemi Concept Advert. #1.jpg

proportions are a little weird
but I'd be all over one of these

2013

rear looks like a 68 sort of too

They've moved the fin to the roof.

There was a reason other than styling for the 500 roof line. Like keeping the rear window in place.

They haven’t been really cool since designed in Clay when designers had vision and a free hand.
CAD ****.

mopar 3 B · Nov 1, 2019

Without cd **** the size of todays cars would be ridicules. Maybe more fun to work on but not so much to drive. Real estate is expensive even in a car.

Chargerjase · Nov 1, 2019

I like the new Chargers. I think the styling is awesome. Even cooler with a Hellcat engine sitting between the fenders.

Sort of what I was getting at with the copy-cat thread. https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/copycats.129850/
