The votes are in, and Dodge has won the Kelly Blue Book Brand Image Award for the second consecutive year, naming Dodge the Best Car Styling Brand for the second time in a row. Award categories are calculated among luxury, non-luxury and truck shoppers and are based on annual new-car buyer perception data. The Dodge Charger and Challenger are the industry’s most impressive and powerful muscle car lineup for 2020, and they just keep bringing the awards home this year. MUSCLE CAR EXTRAORDINAIRE: Dodge has been synonymous with aggressive,  blow-your-door-off-the-hinges muscle cars for decades and Kelley Blue book recognizes that long heritage of muscle. “Dodge’s muscle car design and attitude prove to be attractive to the consumer eye,” said Isabelle Helms, vice president of research and market intelligence for Cox Automotive. That is exactly why people purchase Dodge vehicles in general: for the overall exterior styling and powerful performance that never disappoints.  This is especially true for the tough Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger. 2020 DODGE CHARGER: One of Dodge’s most powerful and capable muscle cars for 2020 is the new 2020 Dodge Charger. With this American-built beauty, you have great powertrain options featured with the innovative TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission delivering razor-sharp precision and efficiency along with the available Sport Mode and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifting. Dodge also added a Widebody Package to America’s only four-door muscle car. The Widebody Package, standard on Charger SRT Hellcat and available on Charger Scat Pack, includes new integrated fender flares that add 3.5 inches of body width, creating an even more aggressive, planted stance. 2020 DODGE CHALLENGER: The all-new 2020 Dodge Challenger is also a speed-demon legend with awesome muscle car capability thanks to a wide range of powerful engines and nine new wheel designs and finishes. Make the 2020 Challenger your own, with customizations from the steering wheel to the seats. You have the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 packing a punch of 305 horsepower and available for all models. For the ultimate 2020 Challenger, step up to the 2020 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye trim with the supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi high-output V8 cranking 797 horsepower! It is no surprise for Dodge to win the Kelly Blue Book Brand Image Award with the company putting out legendary models like the Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger. Both vehicles are the crown jewels of the muscle car world. Contact your friends at McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Bentonville and let us assist you into an award-winning Dodge today!

Introduced in late fall of 1969 for the 1970 model year, the Dodge Challenger made an awesome impression, establishing itself as a performance legend with a bold presence on the road. It still holds that reputation even today, 50 years later. To kickoff 2020 right, Dodge will start off by celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Dodge Challenger. With its resurgence, the lasting legacy of the Dodge Challenger definitely shows in the model’s record-breaking sales over the past two years. To celebrate, Dodge  announced details about the 50th Anniversary Edition of the Dodge Challenger for 2020. GOLDEN DREAM: Introduced with the Challenger 50th Anniversary Edition is the new Gold Rush exterior paint color, in addition to exterior paint colors like Frostbite, Hellraisin, Sinamon Stick, TorRed, F8 Green, and Go Mango. For the anniversary edition, the Shaker hood will be available on the R/T Scat Pack Widebody model and other trims. It will be the first Shaker scoop to come in body color, with the satin black hood that also comes with the new edition. The Shaker hood is available only for the V8 models. Another new exterior feature for all 50th-anniversary cars is the trim specific “Gold School”  alloy wheels. They will change in design depending on which level of Challenger you choice. Models equipped with Brembo brakes will receive a new gunmetal finish on the calipers rather than the typical bright red. LIMITED EDITION: The Challenger 50th Anniversary Edition will be available on the GT RWD, R/T Shaker, R/T Scat Pack Shaker, and R/T Scat Pack Shaker Widebody trim levels. You better put your order in now if you hope to buy one, because Dodge is building only 70 examples of each model grade in each available color for a total run of 1,960 units, just like the original year of production for the first Challenger. For the 50th Anniversary Edition, each will have a dashboard placard with the car’s production number out of 70. FINE INTERIOR : The interior of the special edition vehicles is furnished in black Nappa leather with Alcantara accents and Sepia accent stitching. Carbon fiber accents are featured throughout the cabin, too. The seats have heating and ventilation features, while the instrument cluster has a retro feel, with a yellow pinstripe around the gauge dials. Why bother with excellence? Dodge leaves the powertrain alone for this special edition. Each trim level comes with the same engine and transmission as the standard versions. Bridging the past and present, the Dodge Challenger’s 50th Anniversary Edition encapsulates the Challenger’s status as one of the fastest and best-looking muscle cars on the road. The 2020 Challenger’s 50th Anniversary Edition is introduced with the new exterior paint color, Gold Rush and other awesome exterior tweaks.
