Car Profiles - Dodge Charger

DODGE CHARGER

Another option for those who want something different from the European (AMG, M, S) choices when it comes to high performance sedans. R/T model has a powerful HEMI V8 under the hood which gives the Germans a run for their money. Limited rear seat and allotment in the market are deterrents.

The Good: Sedan with sporty attitude
The Bad: Limited rear seats

Price Range: P3,250,000
