2013 Dodge Challenger Rallye Redline

2013 Dodge Challenger Rallye Redline
2013 Dodge Challenger Rallye Redline - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
Muscle car look and feel without the huge gas bills, stiff suspension, and expensive tires.

On paper, the Challenger Rallye Redline looks pretty excessive. The engine has only six cylinders, but it still makes 305 hp, enough to hustle this car around at police-annoying speeds. The stereo, which is the second of three levels (it's an optional extra, but audiophiles can pay extra for a more capable setup), is ear-splittingly loud. The wheels are 20-inchers; while this won't impress your local rap superstar, they're still really big. "Really big" also describes the Challenger's body, which appears to have eaten a smaller muscle car on its way to your driveway.

2015 Volkswagen GTI Driven - Automobile Magazine
Our second shot at the 2015 GTI.

We're rushing up the Col de Vence into the mountains above Cannes, and we've got the windows cracked open. Every time the dual-clutch six-speed transmission shifts up a gear, the twin exhaust tips give a little pop, a clever simulation of the way that the turbo of a racing car would cavitate under the same circumstances.
