The Charger has the same interior and underbody as the Dodge Magnum wagon, “but the exterior sheet metal is completely different,” he said.

First produced in 1966, the Charger was long considered Chrysler’s premier muscle car and is probably best known for its starring role as the General Lee in TV’s “The Dukes of Hazzard.”

Mike Wall, an analyst with CSM Worldwide in Grand Rapids, said the new Charger, due on the market as early as next spring, should be a good addition to the Dodge lineup, which phased out the full-size Intrepid passenger sedan last year.
