Bottomline The 2008 Dodge Charger sedan has plenty of practicality and character--and thirst, with the big HEMI engines. 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. The G8 gives Pontiac real sport-sedan credentials and hits the mark with only minor faults.
