The new, 2015 Dodge Charger is the perfect vehicle for someone who has practical transportation needs, but also has the urge to feed his or her “wild side.”
Although a family-friendly four-door sedan, the Charger is also a thoroughly modern muscle car — menacing, and poised for action.
Men, I suggest the next time your wife wants to shop for an SUV that you swing by Mountain View Dodge in Ringgold, Ga., and bring home a Charger like today’s Pitch Black tester. While you’re at it, point out that it has four doors, ample seating for five, and a trunk as big as a college dorm room. (An observation: Of all the creative color names I’ve seen on automobiles over the years, I think Pitch Black is my favorite. It perfectly captures the edgy vibe the Charger aims to create.)
As part of its corporate centennial year, Dodge has redesigned the Charger for 2015, adding some modern character lines to its popular retro rocket.
Our SE-trim test car, provided by Mountain View Dodge sales consultant Eric Hill, stickers for $32,870. The price for a base Charger starts at about $28,000 and climbs to over $60,000 for the other-worldly, 707-horsepower Charger SRT Hellcat. A Charger in R/T trim with a 370 horsepower V-8 Hemi engine, a good option for driving enthusiasts on a budget, starts at $33,990.
