Dodge took a big gamble with its muscle car line when the Challenger coupe and previous Charger sedan went away. Instead of continuing with V8s, Dodge nearly went all-in on electric power, and didn’t add any sort of gas-powered version until recently. For most of the new Charger’s life, that gamble has been a bad one, with customers showing little interest in the Hemi-deficient muscle car. This year, though, may mark a turning point for at least one half of the Charger line.
