Styling cues taken from an EVO X?

I think this looks REALLY great compared to the last Charger model! Beautiful improvements. I don’t think I’d ever actually want to buy one, but it does look very nice. Front end has similarities to the late Evo/GT-R, as someone else pointed out. Well done overall, though, Dodge.
