    Good and bad news.

    Good: J.D. Power & Associates has named the Challenger the Best Midsize Sporty Car in its 2011 Initial Quality Study.

    Bad: Dodge came in dead last of all the car manufacturers. Also, the Charger did poorly.

    I attribute my Love Affair/Passion for Mopar Cars as to why I'm still Alive! I've Love Mopars only all my life! When I got a Aggressive, brutal Cancer in 2010. My treat after 6 hours of disabling Chemo was that my daughter and husband would drive me past the New Dodge Challengers!! I'd Dream I'd own one if I survive! I'm still Alive! But yet to date I've never even had a ride in one! But none of us have any income at all. All Jobless here in WI. But I still live, feel and breath! I have Hope!!! I wish more would walk over ands discover the new Dodges!! Heck the old ones still keep my heart beating! and with all the brutal Chemo I had that Says A lot! I Adore the Challengers, Chargers and expect the Dart to shine like it never has! Let's keep Mopars/Dodges forever as no.#1!!! Thank you for letting a Dodge girl [post here! Best of Luck to you!

    Dodge did well in the top 10 video. People are already excited about the Dart.

    Didn't Consumer Reports Recommend the Challenger R/T?
    Also they gave the Challenger R/T a good rating as far as reliability goes.
