The Challenger with the sports coupe frame? Or the Charger sedan that moonlights as an all-wheel drive powerhouse? Here at TobeyAuto, we compared the two\u00a0cars in six categories and named a winner.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">Style<\/h4>\n<p><strong>The Challenger:<\/strong> Boasts a sleek coupe exterior with an aggressive brow design \u00a0that celebrates its muscle car heritage. Oh yeah, it also comes in Plum Crazy Purple!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Charger:<\/strong> Keeps an iconic and chiseled look (hello three-piece body-color spoiler) even if it does give way to a family-friendly sedan design.
