The Car Exam Quick Quiz # 32: The 2011 Dodge Charger R/T

 Good Grades: Nice exterior styling update--taking styling cues from the 1969 Charger was definitely a great idea. Strong horsepower from the V8 engine--you just want to step on the gas pedal and see just how fast you can go--in spite of the heavy weight of the car. Good interior room and comfort, excellent brakes, and good trunk space.

 Bad Grades: The dash just doesn't seem to measure up to the rest of the car--designers tried to make it look flashy, but there's something cheap-looking about it.

 Final Grade: The 2011 Dodge Charger is nearly the perfect American Muscle Sedan. Lose the cheap-looking dash, a few hundred pounds of weight, and you have one perfect ride. Nevertheless, this is one impressive car.
