Rental car this week
What do you do when they give you a Challenger R/T?
You do this:
Overall in my view the car is a hoot, but a miss. Great build quality and design but materials worthy of a Neon and ergonomics that make me question the pay scale of Chrysler engineers.
Handling is of course ponderous and the brakes while effective have a foot of mashed potatoes on top of the peddle.
Would I buy one? Well .. no not for MSRP anyway but they are fun to drive when you don't own them and pay for the rear tires.

I think the new Challenger would be a decent muscle car, if they offer it in something other than a Family Sedan body style. A two-door convertible with a stick shift would be very appealing.
I haven't sat in one though...

Uh, isn't this car called the Charger? The Charger was the old, long, orange muscle car that this new one is based off of. The Challenger was the 2-door pony car that came in colors like green and purple with hockey stick stripes.
