Too bad they put a spoiler on it....takes away from the contour of the car and is totally worthless.

This is a good looking vehicle. Interior upgrades are welcome now update the exterior. This is dodges hidden gem. Needs upgrades and improved efficiency. Keep costs low and really work towards a 40mpg with great performance. Oh relocate the battery. Thats a pita to get too.

@TheUltramarine55 starting price is around 18, goes up to 25

@gotgears3444 but its just not possible with a small fwd car. however srt would use forced induction, thats the real performance package

[gotgears3444]

@FlatoutDodge yes i know theyve never had forced induction hence the latter part of my comment including installing a v8.

[FlatoutDodge]

@gotgears3444 no r/t has ever had forced induction

[gotgears3444]

If it doesnt have a turbo, supercharger, or a v8 it shouldnt wear a the R/T badge. Nuff said.

@Trekologist Agreed on the "competitiveness" but Dodge is supposedly migrating to a ZF 9spd transaxle in the near future (per Allpar), which should put the Avenger (or whatever replaces it) in the correct ballpark between the Charger and Dart. In the mean time, 29mpg from a V6 Avenger with just as nice of an interior and $7K less is totally worth it in my book.

[Trekologist]

@superdart75 But the Charger is a bigger, heavier, more luxurious, RWD car with the same V6 engine. All signs should point to the Charger being worse in gas mileage, but with the new 8 speed, isn't. If the new Dart is going to have a options to get it to 40 MPG, the Avenger won't make much sense in the Dodge lineup until it has more competitive numbers.
