Dodge Charger (1983)
Even though the Charger from the late ’70s was a pretty lame and slow car that threatened to kill the muscle car reputation of the glorious late ’60s and early ’70s cars, Dodge felt that the name deserved another chance (via Auto Evolution).
In those days, Chrysler Corporation was all about K-platform front-wheel drive cars, and Dodge introduced the Charger as an option on a compact and boring Dodge Omni in 1981. The appearance package proved somewhat popular, enough to convince Dodge to try it as a separate model for 1983, and that is how the L-Body Charger was born.
