CHARGE TO THE FUTURE
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: EVERYTHING COMING FROM A FORD FUSION TO THIS IS A BIG UPGRADE. Cons: HOW WIDE IT TAKES THE DOORS TO OPEN UP TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. Overall: GREAT...

If you think you want it, you need it!
Source: MSN Autos

...The interior is very nice and solid. Feels sporty yet still refined. Cons: I don't like the low rated tires. Because of this the Charger RT shuts down at 120mph. I'm sure I don't need to go that fast, but it's a Charger, c'mon, you know we want to have fun Dodge! Overall: Overall I love this car. The only reason I was able to convince myself that it was ok for me (family guy with an 8yr old girl and a 2yr old boy) to buy this car was the great gas mileage. I'm getting 23-24mpgs back and forth to work. Granted, that's being gentle with it. But when I'm having fun (not going nutz) I'm still...

VERY NICE RIDE,
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: GREAT OVER ALL CAR. PLENTY OF ROOM IN CABIN AND TRUNK.
HANDLES WELL IN CORNERS AND AT HIGH SPEED. HAD IT UP TO 120 MPH.
AND STILL HAD POWER TO GO FASTER. I LOVE MY TORRID RED COLOR. Cons: I ONLY WISH THAT I WOULD HAVE UP GRADED TO A LARGER ENGINE Overall: NICE RIDE. GOOD PERFORMANCE...

Love this car!

...Pros: Love the style. Fun to drive. Cons: Could get better fuel economy. Overall: Love the car. Would recommend this vehicle to everyone...

Powerful and good looking!
Source: MSN Autos

...Well maybe that I didn't get the R/T or SRT-8, but those were a lot more money. So far the good has far outweighed the bad in this car. A lot of people tell me they like it. I'll have to see how it drives in the snow this winter. I got the SXT in all black with a black grill instead of the chrome. Buying new it comes with a very good warranty, 3 years/36k mile bumper to bumper and the lifetime on the powertrain. The 250 tq and 250 HP makes for a good balance of acceleration and speed. The lower gears, L and 3, leave you with a lot of power. I'm a pretty careful with my money, and I'm very...

Great Car
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Just a great all around car...especially if you have to get a 4 door vehicle.
Lots of room in the back seating area. Excellent power, sophisticated interior, and large trunk.
Cons: Probably would like more options as far as GPS/etc. Overall: Great car. Probably the best handling car I've had. Excellent room for the family yet lets you retain that independence...

best american made car !!!!!!!!
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: this car is the best vehicle i have ever had, from comfort and reliable to gas milage, I love it.
it is much more responsive and handles far better then my last vehical ( toyota fj Cruiser) which wasn't the most comfortable on a long drive.
the seats are longer in the seat pan so it will not send your legs to sleep.and it has enough leg room for my three boys in the back.
and the styling of thr body is sleek with the muscle car look that every girl would love.
the trunk is huge is can fit all kinds of stuff in it. Cons: nothing love it Overall: great family car with...

#18
A Real American Muscle Feeling
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Very comfortable and secure feeling, a real muscle type car that really makes you want to burn the tires off but you hesitate, not wanting to buy expensive replacement tires.
Perfect all around fun and practical everyday car.
Cons: My only complaint would be that there isn't enough add on performance trim items and the exhaust is too quiet.
Need a little more beasty rumble. Overall: I've had
many different cars in my day but have always loved the old muscle cars of the late sixties and this car is the closest I can get without mortgaging my grandkids.
Don't wait...

best family sport car
Source: MSN Autos

...well buy you self some shoes, Fuel Economy phh what is that, and even so, my srt was not spending as much as my jeep 2004 with 300 horses. And the trunk is huge, good sound system ( kicker ) just need little more bass :) and it's very good to travel in. I want a car like this again, now i am sorry that i sold the one i had, well i just have to buy the 2009 model ;) Cons: traction controller, can't take it off. the firt thing peoble should do when they buy this vehicle is changing the original tires, i but toyo S/T under it and everything change, traction, comfort, all season, better mileage...

Why should I also consider these?

There aren’t any other rear-wheel-drive domestic-brand sedans that directly face off against the 2009 Dodge Charger.

Its closest rival is likely the Pontiac G8; the G8’s performance is excellent, with handling that surpasses that of the Charger, but appearance can mean everything to sport sedan buyers, and the G8’s sheetmetal just doesn’t have that magic.

For those interested in a little more luxury and a more conservative appearance, the Hyundai Genesis is a new and very formidable rival; especially in V-8 form, the Genesis provides respectable overall performance with a feel like luxury-brand cars costing $10,000 more.

The Nissan Maxima is another rival; its styling and interior are eye-catching and sporty, but its more laid-back performance character doesn’t quite match its looks.

The Ford Taurus is another alternative in the V-6 realm, but it’s a different type of vehicle altogether—comfort-oriented and tops for safety.

However, things might get more exciting next year when a new Taurus SHO performance model debuts.

 
2008 Ford Taurus
A great choice for older drivers, the 2008 Ford Taurus excels on its size, safety gear, and large instrumentation, but falls behind the Honda Accord in driving excitement.
 
2010 Hyundai Genesis
The 2010 Hyundai Genesis is a power play for luxury credibility-and it's just about the equal of mid-size luxury rivals from Lexus and Infiniti.
 
2008 Nissan Maxima
The 2008 Nissan Maxima is a bit more aesthetically appealing than a top-of-the-line Altima or Accord, but it doesn’t perform any better.
 
2009 Pontiac G8
The G8 gives Pontiac real sport-sedan credentials and hits the mark with only minor faults.
