They could at least have the decency to offer an R/T version with a real stick shift.
Either way, whatcha gonna do? Apparanty DCX does not see a market to offer a 4 seat rear drive sports coupe with balls for 30k.
GM and Ford do.
At least the big 2 put their cherrished nameplates on cars that are worthy, even if they don't have much in common with the originals.
A Charger sedan....... next thing you know Porsche will start making SUVs
