If you’re looking for a sedan with an American muscle-car attitude, but you can’t quite swing the big bucks for the Dodge Charger, the 2012 Dodge Avenger sedan makes a good second runner-up.
If you’re looking for a more modern design, feature-rich standard equipment list or a manual transmission, there are newer and more modern cars from which to choose. If resale figures are important, you’d be far better off in a Honda Accord, VW Jetta, or Hyundai Sonata.
