No need to read this foist article after all these comments, but I will say that the Challenged seduced me with it's looks enough so that I test drove one before my Boss. Observations:
First, the dealer would not let me drive any 'new' Challenger because they were a "collectors" item and could not have any miles put on them before delivery! So they let me take a 2010 RT, 6 speed. Let me tell you, that car is so HUGE my 2011 GT felt like a Fox Body mustang after that experience. I am not joking! Power wise it was "ok", could spin the tires on a 1-2 power shift and from a roll in 1st, but that is it. Handling? What handling? I had a 2001 Ford Lightning a long time ago that felt more athletic than the Challenger. Again, I'm not kidding!
I went to another Dodge dealer across town, same thing, no test drives allowed! Wow, and I'm a middle aged guy too! Called a Dodge dealer where I bought a truck from once and explained I was interested in driving a new 392, and would not entertain an RT model, and I'd be a serious buyer. They explained no test drives. So I then thanked them for making my decision easier. A day later the sales manager called and wanted to deliver a 392 to my house and I could take it for a day to test drive. I explained it was too late, I'd already written off the car due to the poor sales experience.
They are fat pigs, but they do look nice. I'm surprised they continue to produce them with their dealers pulling this nonsense though.
