2010 Dodge Charger SRT8Once upon a time, as readers of a certain age may recall, large rear-wheel drive family sedans ruled the road. That changed eventually, as sedans downsized and became front-drive; minivans, SUVs, and crossovers began to appear on the roads. Even large sedans started switching to front-wheel or all-wheel drive, and the few rear-drive large sedans left seemed to be aimed at the early dinner crowd.
Enter the 2010 Dodge Charger and its sibling, the Chrysler 300. Perhaps the last of a breed, these two sedans offer rear-drive, lots of space, and a mission that appeals to Mom and Dad, not their parents.
1968 saw an aggressive restyling effort by Dodge. The front fenders and rear quarter-panels were shaped in what was called “Coke bottle styling.” A high-performance R/T (Road/Track) package was offered with an optional 426 HEMI. The Dodge Charger remained at the forefront of the American muscle car segment throughout the next decade, with several overhauls to the interior and exterior design. Despite the success of the previous Charger Daytona which featured a fiberglass nose, a modified tail wing, and a 440 Magnum engine, the industry towards the muscle car was beginning to shift. Eventually, Dodge shifted the focus from performance to luxury, as the 1975 Charger was based on the Cordoba.
The Charger would still be able to show off performance-based drivability, but its image of a roadburner was starting to be phased out. After Carroll Shelby took over design of the Charger in 1983, styling was the name of the game. Racing stripes, an updated nose, upgraded brakes, and more responsive handling were the specialty, and it was what kept the model afloat during an era of change.
