Sharing platforms and powertrains with the Magnum wagon and Chrysler 300 sedan, the Charger returned to Dodge's lineup this past summer as a 2006 model. Unlike the classic muscle car, however, the exciting new Charger comes with four doors instead of two and it lives up to its heritage with rear-wheel drive and plenty of pavement-pounding acceleration. A 250-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 engine and five-speed AutoStick automatic transmission come standard, along with anti-lock brakes with brake assist, traction control, and stability control. The R/T version offers a 340-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI V-8, though this tends to slow the car's handling a bit because of the added weight over the front wheels. In addition, a limited-production Daytona R/T variant packs a 350-horsepower HEMI V-8, along with a stiffer suspension, unique styling cues, and exclusive paint treatments. If that's not enough muscle, a newly added SRT8 version comes loaded with a specially modified 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 that produces an explosive 425 horsepower, which is enough to propel the five-passenger wagon from zero-to-60 mph in around five seconds. Options include a performance handling package, heated seats, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, Sirius satellite radio, and a Bluetooth wireless connection system for cell phones.

    I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS ARE EVALUATING BUT MY SXT 3.5 HO IS THE BEST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. THE STYLING IS BETTER THAN THE LATER MODELS, IT'S POWERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, GETS 26-28 MPG ON ALL MY TRIPS. IT'S FASTER THAN ANY CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY THREE THOUSAND MILES SINCE I BOUGHT IT FOUR (4) YEARS AGO. IT HAS RUN PERFECTLY LIKE A BRAND NEW CAR SINCE DAY 1. WHY THE HELL YOU GUYS IGNORE THIS BEAUTY IS BEYOND MY COMPRHENSION.
