2012 Dodge Charger SXT Plus - Style and Seats
2012 Dodge Charger SXT Plus - Four Seasons Update - August 2012 - Automobile Magazine
We love the seats and the styling continues to attract people on the street.

Among our Four Seasons cars, the sporty Charger is an unlikely choice for a camping outing, but that's exactly where associate web editor Jake Holmes took our Dodge for a long weekend in August. With two friends along for the ride, Holmes drove west to Michigan's P.J. Hoffmaster State Park where our Blacktop-edition Charger attracted a lot of attention. "As we lounged by the campfire on Tuesday night, a family walked past and their young son wondered out loud, 'Whoa, is that a Corvette or a Mustang?'" Holmes reported. "The next day, as we were packing up our tents, a neighboring camper came to ask about and look at the Charger. He was a Londoner who had moved to the U.S. eight years ago and had towed a camper behind his VW Touareg. As he surveyed the Charger, he commented on how sporty and aggressive it looks."
