Dodge Charger LX (6th Generation)

2006–2010 · LX · sedan

Built on the LX platform — a Chrysler/Mercedes co-development that also underpinned the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum wagon. Engines: 2.7L V6 (178hp), 3.5L V6 (250hp), 5.7L HEMI V8 (340-368hp), and the SRT8 6.1L HEMI (425hp). Brought four-door RWD muscle back to the market and laid the foundation for the Hellcat era that followed.

Watch out: 5.7L HEMI Multi-Displacement System (MDS) lifter failure — the cylinder-deactivation lifters on the driver-side bank are notoriously prone to collapse, often taking out the camshaft. Symptoms: ticking at idle, misfire codes. Affects the 5.7 across the LX family (Charger, 300, Magnum, Challenger).
