While we would love to see an SRT-tuned version of the sedan (or a better sedan entirely), the R/T touches are a good start. Rather than focusing efforts on the ...

If you're looking for an Avenger with a little more bite, Dodge may have just the car for you. The company will unveil its new Avenger R/T at the 2011 New York Auto Show this week, and though the drivetrain has been left largely untouched, the mid-sized fighter now packs a tighter suspension. Dodge engineers managed to increase the vehicle's roll ...

In some respects, STARTECH's herculean effort succeeds. In others, not so much. We like the shaved door handles, as the convergence of shapes and curves at he rear door now looks muscular instead of ...

We've already seen the "concept" in Paris, which was more of a lightly veiled production vehicle than a full-on design exercise. And we've already discussed the styling infinitum and decided that pulling cues from the Charger was a smart move, but that rear ...
