I think the car is drop dead gorgeous !! It's got the sexiest rear end of any car on road right now in my opinion . I get nothing but compliments when in driving my new RT . The interior and the new class leading 8.4 uconnect entertainment system is absolutely brilliant and extremely easy to use surprisingly . Dodge has really done a fantastic job . Keep it up guys .
@@extremedrivr ok but it’s still under the name “charger”. So no matter what they do with it, it’s still a charger. They could transform it into an SUV for all you know but it’s still a charger whether or not you like it.
@@oklol9 Its still not a charger. Why is this so hard for people to understand?? Lol The last charger rolled off the line in 1974. There hasn't been one since.
@@extremedrivr it may not be a “Charger” in the roots but it’s still NAMED charger. So obviously there’s some relations between the 2 versions. Plus, I actually like the 4 door.
@@oklol9 I never said I didnt like the 4 door because its has roots. You obviously understood what I was getting at with the roots it has not linking up with the charger nameplate. Basically all I am saying they need to do is put the Coronet nameplate on it and it will be a proper car in its roots at that point. Or else delete the 2 extra doors and keep the Charger nameplate on it. Not hard for them to do except that they are lazy. Lol
I first saw this car and I was hooked. I bought a R/T AWD with the 5.7 liter Hemi in black crystal pearl coat. Other than a glitch in the keyless entry system it has been trouble free so far. Keep up the good work Dodge.
I got the 2012 blacktop edition, 25 mpg am averaging, all while getting from my best time 0-60 in 6.3 seconds with absolutely no mods. The V6 model is a winner!
@ginsunh I actually like that grille; it gives the Charger an aggressive, menacing appearance. Its cousin the Chrysler 300 has a redesigned grille with horizontal lines. I don't know if Motorweek has done a test with the 300, but other pages around TH-cam has tested it. Check it out.
@timforsyth89 And with the 8-speed auto, the EPA estimates for fuel economy? 20 city/ 31 highway for a rear wheel drive auto. And all wheel drive Pentastar vehicles which will debut next model year? 18 city/ 27 highway for all-wheel drive. It's comparable to crossovers right there. And not bad for a vehicle that weighs around 4300 lbs.
@AhJotahTube You're right. It compares to larger cars; for Dodge, with Accord and Camry, the Avenger compares to it. The best comparison would be the Taurus; however, it'd compare the Taurus SHO and the R/T V-8 AWD. That'll be a great comparison test.
The old Dodge Charger engine was a 3.5 liter v6. The 2011 revamp came with a brand new and more powerful 3.6 liter v6. The old engine was around 260 hp and the new 2011 puts out around 300 hp.
I have a 2014 with AWD and it’s a solid cruiser. Chargers are one of the last big sedans on the road today. If you can find one in reasonable shape I’d say go for it dude
I could never get one of these because Chryslers are still made very cheap. I saw a new Charger last night that already had semi burnt-out tail lights.
Dodge needs to abandon the gun sight grille. Its sole reason for existing was to differentiate a Caravan from a Voyager, or a Reliant from an Aries. Now that Plymouth is gone, that ugly grille is not needed.
the original carger wasnt some shitty ass truck grilled ugly ass fourdoor. dodge you make some ugly ass rides all except for that awesome power wagon and the challenger. viper doesnt count ;)

The 2011-2014 charger was probably the most successful production sedan dodge has EVER made.
But we all know the real Charger is a 2 door Muscle Car.
Which means this one doesn't count because they added 2 extra doors that don't belong. Lol

the cops in my area got this charger as a part of their new fleet... damn they look good
Dodge Charger is car of police
Just ordered the new 2013 SXT PLUS Charger with the new 8 speed. 18 city 31 Highway. Can't wait!
“New 8 speed” sounds weird hearing😂
Where is it now
Are you dead?
@@mufalcon33 he probably is

How's it held up since you wrote this comment?
@@BigWheel. I decided to trade it in in 2013 as I couldn't afford to keep gas in it.
@@highlife0586that’s tuff
This was the best model of the new chargers
Damn I want one of these. Can't get much with a newspaper delivery job though...
Start selling methamphetamine.
With its sexy good looks and v8-like power from its V6, this car sits right in the crosshairs of the Nissan Maxima.
I love the back lights at night. So retro and cool

I didn't care for the last model too much. This one I would own. Nice job Dodge.
@ZSwierczynski Yes the 5.7 V8 is a carryover, but the the 3.6L Pentastar V6 is all new. They dropped the old 2.7L and 3.5L V6
Looks great!
FINALLY MotorWeek testing a car that is NOT the highest trim level!!!!!!!
That car looks great in that cooler

I've noticed that, it is odd, but it's for a reason... maybe to see the flasher better? A lot of new car's do that now
@vwmatt33
Sadly for 2012, Toxic Orange isn't available.
But still no manual transmission right?
Physically I didn't think they could make this car better looking then the previously generation... I'm glad I was wrong.
465 horses, is that the 392?
If only they imported this to Australia, but at least we got the 300 srt8
Where are the acceleration and handling time? I am disappoint.
the 2011-present Dodge Charger is assembled in
Brampton, Ontario, Canada
So
Niceeee
That's the 2012 Charger btw.
Isn't the Charger engine from the old one? Or they put a new motor in it?

Should have used a mopar 11

Seriously? A Fusion's trunk is larger than this supposed "full-size" car's.
It looks better from the back. The front is ugly.
BluStatic what about the newer dodge charger and challenger models
Dodge needs to abandon the gun sight grille. Its sole reason for existing was to differentiate a Caravan from a Voyager, or a Reliant from an Aries. Now that Plymouth is gone, that ugly grille is not needed.
4 doors...😂
I prefer the XLE V6 Toyota Camry over this gas guzzler
Why
Jeep Joseph he can’t afford the gas.
the original carger wasnt some shitty ass truck grilled ugly ass fourdoor. dodge you make some ugly ass rides all except for that awesome power wagon and the challenger. viper doesnt count ;)
This car is so lame; ugly doors, dumb cross grille, and hideous color.
