Reviews Summary

Hooligans and cops everywhere are saying their final goodbyes to the Dodge Charger, a full-size sedan both sides of the law have exonerated for intimidation and respect. The Charger, along with the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Challenger coupe that share its 1990s-era Mercedes platform, will be discontinued after the 2023 model year as their assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario, shuts down for retooling to build electric vehicles. At one time the most powerful production sedan in the world—and still the most powerful running on gas—the Charger's replacement will be a trendy EV that Dodge doesn't really want to build. That's the law, though, so the Charger departs in full smoke and fury with three special edition Last Call models built in limited numbers for its final year. We drove one, a 2023 Charger Swinger, for a proper send-off to this brand of American muscle.

Reviews Summary

Despite the increasing popularity of crossovers and SUVs, there are still plenty of shoppers hungry for a good old-fashioned sedan. For one, sedans handle better. They’re also generally less expensive and, to some eyes, far better looking. For yet another year, the 2023 Infiniti Q50 offers shoppers style and performance in an otherwise crossover-obsessed world.

The question is, considering the market trends in favour of SUVs, are style and performance enough to generate sales?
