Thanks for that Mark. It looks pretty good. I'm not noticing any difference in the back end and I don't care for the chrome-looking door handles, but the new grille should be awesome! I wonder what changes the hood will have? A scoop perhaps? And the headlights?

Not liking the chrome door handles. :shakehead More pieces to have painted to match the car. Headlamps look like the turn signals are up higher but that may just be me, and the exhaust tips look different as they have a beveled look looking into it as the older ones have a round open hole. Am I thinking right? Maybe Greg can shed some light on these changes too. 
And the wheels look like the ones similar to the Edge Sport, but in black of course.

I wouldn't mind a 2012 SHO, but it's still 7-8k more than a Charger R/T, isn't RWD, isn't V8, doesn't get better fuel economy (and when the 8 speed goes in that'll probably be less fuel economy), and isn't any faster. I guess it is a bit nicer on the inside though. I feel like the SHO should have been offered with a 35k starting price and a few less options, or just the engine package alone. Makes you wonder how much an EB V6 costs to manufacture.

Looks like the pictures of the Stealth PI that is on the latest edition of Law Enforcement Products magazine. Except on the magazine it isn't covered in a bra....

Do you have a link to that picture or page mjhpadi?

Sorry, I don't...I get the magazine in the mail, and it just happened to show up today.
Looks like the same crappy lower grill. The headlights dont look any different to me. It looks like they used too large of cutouts on the bra to give it an illusion of being different. My guess is a slightly modified bumper, same hood, same headlights, new upper grill. They just slapped painted edge wheels on it. I hope it's the same lights because if the bumper is different and looks nicer it should be an easy swap.

I'm wondering if changing the lower grille would affect the adaptive cruise control......

Great question, could be the metal in the grill would affect the radar???

I got to look at the new Charger this weekend. The interior upgrades are pretty damn good. It actually made my SHO feel cheap inside in some areas. Dodge might not been able to do major redesigns but they really improved the initial build quality of the car and materials.

LOL @ everyone thinking this is good news...
this is going to make our cars obsolete
can you find out if we can just buy the touch system with gauge cluster?
Lol.. isn't that how it works though..just like the new mustang redesign then shortly after new engines. That would have ****** me off if I had bought one right before they put the new engine in..
But anyways would be neat if they had exclusive bumpers I loved the older gen shos with sho across the bumper
Maybe, but I dont have it so I dont care.

I'm betting the 12' is cut from this cloth...

You have intelligent cruise too?
