Reviews SummaryThe 2021 Toyota Avalon serves a simple function. It bridges the price gap between the Toyota Camry and the Lexus ES. In fact, the Avalon and the Lexus are essentially the same cars, the latter offering a greater degree of refinement and a more appealing design. Otherwise, there isn’t a reason for the Avalon to exist in a world gone mad for SUVs. And that’s especially true when a certified pre-owned Lexus ES that’s just a year or two old costs less than the new Toyota. | |
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. | |
