A $40K as tested price and this thing scored almost 15 points higher on the GRM bang for the buck index than the G8 GT?! Whatever you guys are drinking, pass it around... .

Here's a novel concept for a family car: How about a simple, full-sized, rear-drive sedan? Give it ample power, a giant trunk and just enough features to keep everyone entertained. Oh, wait, that's been done before.

The Dodge Charger is a throwback to a simpler time, an age before cell phones, Internet and beer cans that change color when cold. No, the current Charger doesn't exactly recall the one made famous by the Dukes boys and the bad guys from "Bullitt." However, it is available in a wide range of tunes, from fleet filler to Hemi hauler.

Our test car was the R/T model. It's not as radical as the 6.1-liter Hemi model, but it also doesn't start at $40k. Our car did have the more-than-capable 5.7-liter Hemi plus a five-speed automatic, imposing silhouette and giant 20-inch wheels that are part of a $4665 R-package. That package also adds the Boston Acoustics sound system, leather wheel, Road/Track suspension group, remote start, performance suede seats and a front spoiler.

Our test car also had the Super Track Pak ($400) that added heavy-duty brakes, a 3.06:1 final drive and performance tires. Other options included a power sunroof ($950), HID lamps ($695), a media center ($900) and an engine block heater ($40).
