MotorWeek put the 2026 Dodge Charger R/T through its full road-test treatment, and the numbers it turned in are hard to ignore: a roughly $50,000 price tag, a 13-second quarter mile, and not a single cylinder of V8 under the hood. Host John Davis treats the twin-turbo six-cylinder Charger with the same measured scrutiny he’s applied to Mopars since the 1980s, but the comments section isn’t nearly so calm. Is this really what “entry-level” muscle looks like now, or has Dodge just redefined the term?
