| |
| </div>In February 2005, '''[[Dodge]]''' introduced a new full-sized [[rear wheel drive]] Charger on the Chrysler LX platform also used by the [[Chrysler 300]] and [[Dodge Magnum]]. The 1999 Charger concept borrowed a number of classic muscle car design cues, but the final version delivered to the public appeared vastly different from the concept version. The redesigned Charger was never intended as competition to the Ford Mustang, but rather as a replacement for the outgoing [[Dodge Intrepid]] sedan which had been waning in popularity for several years.<small> ([[Dodge Charger|more...]])</small>

| The [[Honda]] CR-V is roomy, convenient and easy to drive. You can put lots of stuff in it and the back seats are quite comfortable. It rides smoothly, more so than most [[SUV]]s. It's surprisingly maneuverable in tight quarters and handles well on winding roads yet it's stable at freeway speeds, even in stiff crosswinds. <small>([[Honda CR-V Review|more...]])</small>
