Spy photographers caught the next-generation Dodge Charger during a testing run earlier today.  The car’s interior was photographed for the first time, showing a moderately improved design.  The 2011 model sedan, based on Chrysler’s LY platform (shared with the Chrysler 300C and Dodge Challenger), is essentially a major refresh of the current model, rather than an all-new car.  As a result, designers couldn’t completely revamp the interior, but it does have smoother lines and new, even if questionable, accents (such as a large, silver slab of plastic across the driver’s side).

The car photographed seems to be a top-spec model, with a large in-dash navigation screen and two-tone color scheme (cream-colored leather seats and matching door panels).  Whether Chrysler is finally using soft-touch materials instead of hard plastic remains to be seen.
