TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2015 Chrysler 300 adds more style, features, and efficiency to an already confident, capable large family sedan. The 2015 Dodge Charger looks strikingly different, ditching the retro for sleek modernity, but its V-6 and V-8 engines and rear-wheel-drive chassis make it a family sedan with a muscle-car heartbeat.
