Other Choices:

About 30 years ago, just about every major manufacturer on the planet (except Mercedes-Benz and BMW) converted nearly every passenger car they had to a front-wheel-drive platform. More recently, Chrysler was among the first builders to rediscover the marketing (and performance) benefits of going rear-wheel drive with its 300, Dodge Magnum wagon, and Dodge Charger. We're glad it did, but that leaves the Charger facing off against several cars that aren't exact competitors. The following cars haven't an ounce of "performance" in their composition. Take the Ford Taurus--it's front-wheel drive and available only with a V-6. Same for the Toyota Avalon and the all-new Chevrolet Malibu. A V-8 can be had in the Buick Lucerne, but Buick's idea of performance is far less brash than Dodge's.
