My only complaints about the Charger are that I cannot get a stripped down
models with a Hemi and I can't get a manual transmission. Sure I would like
a coupe, but most people want practicality. This is one reason Toyota sells
so well. They produce reliable automotive appliances. If I do get a new
muscle car It would probably be a Mustang. This coming from a guy who
currently owns 5 Mopars.
