Yes this is the exact quote per Car and Driver and since it has been written it is the Gospel:cool:. And of course everyone knows in today’s media social communication once it’s written it’s gods truth:p. In all sincereness the Dodge Charger is one of the last American Sedans being built since Ford has abandoned ship on its car line with the exception of the Mustang. Cadillac is out and Chevy well hmm it’s a Chevy yawn and the article references the BMW M5 comparison so many times I mean that really sums it up being the BMW crowd just got smoked:D. This is the exact quote from the article.
America's Greatest Sedan
After five years, Dodge has figured out a way to improve the Charger Hellcat without really changing much. And with Cadillac discontinuing the CTS-V, this is now definitively America's greatest high-performance sedan, and the undisputed king of the four-door tire-burners.

Hell yea man, without a doubt the Charger is king!!

Charger was firing off the godly noise of a V8 while the M5 pumps synthetic noise through the speakers to give the illusion you're in something "racey" :LOL:

Is Cadillac really out? I thought they are renaming the CTS-V. Either way....I still like the Charger better....but I'm a little biased about that :)

I am certain that I too am biased, but...
My wife and I have his and hers Hellcats. In our travels, I occasionally encounter her in her Charger HC coming around a bend. The very first thought I have is , OMG what is THAT!? (it is a striking Yellow Jacket with carbon stripes)
Second thought is, oh thats my wife.
There are great sedans in the world, but none of them..Porsche, BMW, Audi, Jaguar, Infinity, Lexus, Tesla, etc... none of them give that instant visual impact. And then, if course there is the actual driving experience. So yea I'm biased, but I think the Charger HC is the current king of all sedans.

My 2014 Charger was way more fun to drive than the E-Class Mercedes it replaced.

If money wasn't an issue I'd add a Charger Hellcat Widebody to the fleet. I love the Charger Hellcat!

You are really loving @ChargerChallenger that new Charger aren’t you! Anything else just seems like it is not as nice! Love mine too but halfway decided to sell it in order to downsize. A3558D3C-5DD2-4903-90E2-E8A8B66264C9.jpeg

Your gonna miss her I definitely missed mine and truly held out for the Redeye Charger but feel that is probably not happening. So yes she’s just so much fun and I like the narrow body look and she’s just more gnarly then my Redeye Challenger. The Widebody set up is nice on my Challenger but she doesn’t bust loose lol as easily as my former Hellcats and now my new Charger. Which for some here may say huh but it is a blast to get her sideways with just a punch on the gas.

Caddy just released a TTV8 sedan, codenamed Blackbird. It's new nomenclature is CT6-V. The performance isn't amazing, but the AWD gets it to 60 in 3.8s.

(y)Chrysler’s big cars like the Crown Imperial and their Chrysler 300 letter cars are pretty special. It is a rare treat to see one. They were works of art. I think the styling of today’s Chargers are cut from the same cloth.

This is styling any way you look at it especially as compared to the other boxes out there

Interior is not anything like the early 60’s Chrysler 300’s but still nicer than just about any other sedans out there

There were several Imperials and 300's in my neighborhood when I was a kid, '68-'70 models. The moms would pile 6 of us kids in those 300's and it still seemed like you could fit 8 more in there. That back seat was like a couch. Good times :)

Both of ours are non- wide bodies. Do you mean compare Charger vs Challenger?

The Charger is truly a blast and every bit as fun as the Challenger and in some ways more fun. The longer wheel base gives her a really nice ride and exhaust rumble in the larger interior space is more pronounced as well. The interior roominess is really nice since you have the rear door and more light interior wise with so many windows. I feel the Challenger has a more sporty feel and definitely the better sharper lines and retro. And of course the Charger is a love or hate look and modern design.
