No Dodge Charger shopping trip would be right without a visit to the (often adjoining) Chrysler showroom to check out the 300 that shares its platform and most of its powertrains with the Charger.
Look at the 2018 Dodge Charger as a performance car and you'll definitely want to look at the Chevrolet SS if you can still find one; it gave up the ghost with the 2017 model year.
As a substitute, a lesser Cadillac CTS has peerless handling and a pretty, angular shape, but will a turbo-4 satisfy the grunting alpha you’re trying to out? The Nissan Maxima offers lots of style but isn't as polished to drive as any Charger.
At the opposite end of the spectrum is the Genesis G80.
Its interior is properly luxurious, but it doesn't deliver the driving thrills you'll get from a Charger.
If it's a more comfortable ride you're seeking, the Buick LaCrosse is more entertaining to drive than its staid demeanor may suggest.
