The Charger is a very high quality product and the attempts to belittle it are just childish. I have nothing against the SS and it is a fine car, but really for all it's improvements it is a lackluster update to the GXP which was a fine car 5 years ago and was then, as the SS is now, a competitor in price and intent wit the Charger SRT 8 which has improved MUCH more and is simply a better performer in each and every way and cannot even downed for it's interior as the old 08 models could.
So you think dodge and Chrysler aren't fiat simply because Daimler owned them previously? And where did I belittle the Giat products warranting the childish comment?

But seriously? Lackluster? Without driving one? It is a major off the Zeta architecture. If you dong like if that's fine by me. But let's wait and see how the reviews come out.
