The '''Dodge Challenger''' is a retro-futuristic Pony/Muscle car manufactured by American carmaker [[Dodge]] since 2008 as a response to the popularity of the equally retro-futuristic S197 [[Ford Mustang]]. The Challenger will also soon be competing with a resurrected [[Chevrolet Camaro]] and usher in a new age of muscle cars in America.

===Recent Changes===
* At the end of March 2009, Dodge unveiled the '''SE Rallye Package''' for the Challenger. Essentially a base model SE kitted with stripes, an R/T-style chrome fuel door, black-accented 18-inch wheels, and a rear decklid spoiler, the SE Rally package is more significant because it will introduce the the 5-speed AutoStick to the V6 models, eliminating the 4-speed slushbox that came before. Prices for the SE Rallye starts at $26,490. [http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/30/retrolicious-chrysler-unveils-2009-dodge-challenger-se-rallye/]

==Design quirks and oddities==
One Challenger was featured in the Second episode of series 12 of the british motoring show, Top Gear. At first, Chrysler (who own Dodge) refused to lend one to presenter, Richard Hammond, claiming that Top Gear always finds Chryslers as bad cars. In retaliation, Richard had to go out and buy one. During the road trip of San Fransisco to Bonneville, while Richard was eating, co-presenter Jeremy Clarkson used the remote start from his Corvette ZR1 to move the Challenger from it's original parking space to the middle of the road where it held up traffic until a very confused Richard came out and moved it again. On windy mountian roads outside Bonneville, the Challenger did not handle well due to it's crude suspension and muscle car heritage. On the Bonneville salt flats, Richard Hammond managed to acheive over 140mph in the Challenger at the one mile mark.

==Awards==
List out notable ''awards'' that the model has recieved while in production. '''Boldface''' the company or organization that gives out the award, and ''Italicize'' the name of the award.

==Design quirks and oddities==
One Challenger was featured in the Second episode of series 12 of the british motoring show, Top Gear. At first, Chrysler (who own Dodge) refused to lend one to presenter, Richard Hammond, claiming that Top Gear always finds Chryslers as bad cars. In retaliation, Richard had to go out and buy one. During the road trip of San Fransisco to Bonneville, while Richard was eating, co-presenter Jeremy Clarkson used the remote start from his Corvette ZR1 to move the Challenger from it's original parking space to the middle of the road where it held up traffic until a very confused Richard came out and moved it again. On windy mountian roads outside Bonneville, the Challenger did not handle well due to it's crude suspension and muscle car heritage. On the Bonneville salt flats, Richard Hammond managed to acheive over 140mph in the Challenger at the one mile mark.

==Awards==
