Considering that the Charger and TL pull .80 and .81, respectively, on a skidpad, I think handling will be a wash.

Regarding gas mileage, the Charger shoudl get around 17/25 on regular, while the TL gets 20/29 on premium. Again, a wash.

Go drive the TL. You'll change your mind.

Have you driven the charger? Just curious what your opinion is based on.

No, but I've driven the 300 which is essentially the same car. The TL is a much nicer car.

I go with the Infiniti G35. It's drives better than the TL but seems like people who like the TL spend a lot of time inside starting at the interior while I'll be inside driving the car :)

As much as I love American cars, I would get the Acura TL.

I hate how they f*cked up the charger, its 4 door, and it looks like a Magnum chop :(

Nono, you got that all wrong... the TL owners usually spend a lot of time TALKING about their wonderful interior and how it drives so well, and they spend time talking to their navis. G35 owners are typically too busy driving.

The TL does have a lot "useful gadgets" like that traffic updating navi... but if you're in your daily commute, you already know the traffic flow and the TL's navi doesn't actually update for a lot of small jams.

Doesn't the Charger have slightly more room? I don't really remember from sitting in the two though from sitting in them but I do recall the Charger & 300 having plenty of room in the back.

Oh, and I have no love for Honda auto transes. Why did they make them that way?

charger, I'm glad they are bringing back the rwd sedans. you can have more fun with the charger and get more looks with it, whether or not people like the looks, you will get noticed more.
