TCC’s Bottom Line

Classic lines? Big V-8 power? Rear-wheel drive? The 2018 Chrysler 300 still has us by the feels.

The 2018 Dodge Charger has aged remarkably well–and if it’s four-door muscle you need, few sedans deliver its performance thrill.

TCC Likes

Love American style? Look here
Throbby V-8
No-fuss V-6

Terrific V-8/rear-drive fun
V-6 is reasonably powerful and efficient
Ride and handling still impress

TCC Dislikes

Hellcat power absent
Somber base cabin
Slim rear-seat leg room

V-8s are heavy and thirsty
Low-buck base interior trim
No V-8/AWD pairing
