Reviews SummaryHooligans 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. 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. | |
Reviews SummaryVerdict: The Giulia is a genuine sports sedan. It's best appreciated by people who love to drive and crave the feelings that emerge when they turn the steering wheel of a perfectly tuned car. If wine is wine and cars are just a means to an end, you won't feel anything extra from an Alfa Romeo. In fact, you'll be turned off by the Giulia’s outdated tech and cramped interior. Objectively, it's not the smartest buy in the compact luxury class. Emotionally, the Giulia is a dynamite car that hides its flaws and puts the driver first. | |
