TCC’s Bottom Line

The Charger may be old, but it’s still a charmer, and can pull double duty as a sedate highway cruiser or a drag strip monster.

The 2020 Toyota Avalon works best as a stylish, comfortable cruiser, and not as a wannabe sports sedan.

TCC Likes

A V-8 and rear-wheel drive are always fun
V-6 is reasonably powerful and efficient
Ride and handling still impress

Stylish lines, mostly
Comfortable cruiser
Commendable hybrid

TCC Dislikes

V-8s are heavy and thirsty
Low-buck base interior trim
V-8 doesn't offer AWD

Does it really need to be sporty?
Overwrought styling at times
Poor V-6 mpg
