The Car Exam Quick Quiz # 32: The 2011 Dodge Charger R/T
Good Grades: Nice exterior styling update–taking styling cues from the 1969 Charger was definitely a great idea. Strong horsepower from the V8 engine–you just want to step on the gas pedal and see just how fast you can go–in spite of the heavy weight of the car. Good interior room and comfort, excellent brakes, and good trunk space.
Bad Grades: The dash just doesn’t seem to measure up to the rest of the car–designers tried to make it look flashy, but there’s something cheap-looking about it.
Final Grade: The 2011 Dodge Charger is nearly the perfect American Muscle Sedan. Lose the cheap-looking dash, a few hundred pounds of weight, and you have one perfect ride. Nevertheless, this is one impressive car.
