2012 Dodge Charger SXT Plus – Four Seasons Introduction America’s bad-boy sedan goes to finishing school The Dodge Charger exists in a class of one. Its attitude, style, and rear-wheel drive distance it from an otherwise bland segment defined by the unexceptional Ford Taurus, Chevy Impala, and Toyota Avalon.
