For the third year in a row, Kelley Blue Book has named Dodge the Best Car Styling Brand in the 2021 Brand Image Awards. Award categories are calculated among luxury, non-luxury and truck shoppers and are based on annual new-car buyer perception data. “Dodge represents quintessential American muscle through and through,” said Isabelle Helms, vice president of research, market intelligence and pricing strategy for Cox Automotive. “Aggressive exterior styling with unique heritage design cues immediately draws consumers to the brand. That styling is matched perfectly to unrivaled performance under the hood. Dodge is true to its brand from its styling to its performance.” Dodge muscle gets even stronger for the 2021 model year with the new “Demon-possessed” Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye, the most powerful and fastest mass-produced sedan the world. Raising the bar to performance levels never seen before in a four-door family sedan, the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye serves up 797-horsepower and 707 lb.-ft. of torque, plus a top speed of 203 miles per hour (mph), delivering the ultimate in high-performance, comfort and road-ready confidence as the world’s only four-door muscle car. The Dodge Challenger is the world’s quickest, fastest and most powerful muscle car. While the record-setting Dodge Challenger SRT Demon was a one-year, limited-production build, the 807-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock is born from its successes and, for 2021 model year, is the halo of the Challenger lineup, outperforming the competition in the modern horsepower wars as the newest ultimate drag-racing muscle car. Dodge continues to offer customization straight from the factory with unique appearance packages, a variety of different color stripes and wheel finishes, all-original badges and distinctive Dodge heritage colors, including Sinamon Stick, Frostbite and Hellraisin on Charger and Challenger models, all of which make Dodge vehicles unique and stand out on the road.

Hate to say it but none of that means anything to me. I love my car. Don't care if anyone else does. I'd probably be happier if few others did so there wouldn't be so many on the road. Down here in South Florida Challengers are extremely common. Lucky for me 99.9% are non-Widebody cars so mine still stands out!
I feel the same. It was a fantastic driving around, in 2008/2009, with my 2009 Hemi-orange SRT. I got the "rock star" treatment everywhere I went.
