The Dodge Challenger celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. And yet, the oldest muscle car on the market - and I'm talking not about its age as an existing design concept, the Challenger name having first taken flight in 1970, but the modern Challenger that first hit our roads in 2008 - is in better shape than ever before. In fact, in the third quarter of this year, the Challenger even outsold its two big rivals south of the border - though it didn’t accomplish that here, Canadians having preferred both the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro to the Dodge.
So yes, the current Challenger is old - it's been around since 2008 after all - but Dodge is to be commended for keeping the public interested in the only coupe still in its lineup, and doing it mainly by offering countless different variants since its return to the scene over a decade ago.
Over the years, I've been able to test drive several versions of the Challenger as well as some of the models those variants compete with, and I must confess that when I come back to the Challenger, it’s with a big smile on my face.
