What We Don't

•	Despite RWD layout, not especially dynamic
•	Front seats are too spongy
•	No manual transmission offered

There aren't many full-size family sedans like the Charger. It's a rear-wheel-drive muscle car with an available V-8 engine. The Charger was redesigned last year with more aggressive exterior styling, a revised interior and a new base V-6. There are more changes for 2012 including a newly available eight-speed automatic and the return of the SRT8 model with a monstrous 470-horespower, 6.4-liter V-8. The Charger competes with the Ford Taurus.
