Reviews SummaryLike the original, the modern 2006 Pontiac GTO puts a big engine in a midsize coupe. This time around, the GTO is based on the Holden Monaro, the only suitable rear-drive model in the global General Motors product arsenal. It’s built in Australia and shipped to eager Pontiac performance aficionados in America. | |
Reviews SummaryOne year after Dodge reintroduced the legendary Charger nameplate on a family-sized 4-door sedan, the instantly popular car continues to line Chrysler’s coffers. Four trim levels are available: SE, SXT R/T, and SRT8. And if you need more cargo space than the 16.2 cubic-foot trunk can provide, be sure to check out the Dodge Magnum, which is the same car with a wagon body style and different front styling. For 2007, a lower-priced version of the Charger SE equipped with a smaller 2.7-liter V6 engine joins the lineup. All-wheel drive (AWD) is a new option for all but the high-performance, rear-wheel-drive (RWD) SRT8 version, and a new rear-seat entertainment system with a DVD player debuts. | |
