Review: 2019 Dodge Charger GT


Do car owner stereotypes matter when you're renting?

No. No, they do not.

I suppose the worry of being mislabeled as someone who's just waiting to be reckless in traffic isn't really relevant, when you know you're returning the thing in a week anyway. It didn't help that this particular Charger still had the splitter shipping guards on, an organic trend that isn't exactly helping the image these cars have.

Even the manufacturer has gone so far as to say people need to take them off (even if dealers aren't), because they're ruining aerodynamics, and are actually damaging the paint people think they're protecting.

The actual issue for me, though, was that I was under the impression these cars weren't all that good.
