The front and rear are an improvement, I think, to make it seem like a newer car. But, where Fiat-Chrysler completely dropped the ball is by literally not changing a damn thing between the A and C pillars. It makes the design seem far less cohesive, and altogether, completely throws the idea of this being a "new car" out the window.
Worse yet, the interior looks crazy cheap. I mean, why would they take shots that close to show how poorly grained the trim is? Sure, I'm sure it isn't that much worse than what's in a lot of average American cars (Chevrolet Malibu, I'm lookin' at you...). It makes the car altogether seem like a very flat refresh, particularly in light of the vastly improved materials used in the Chrysler 200 - and - what looks like a significantly updated Challenger that seems quite a bit better.
Assuming they're doing the same 8-speeds across the board, carry over mechanicals, and all that jazz, the Charger will still appeal to the same people its always appealed to. Win-win for Fiat-Chrysler. Let's just hope they plan on hurrying up the development of the next-generation platform.
