While the introduction of the new 2015 Dodge Charger R/T at the 2014 New York Auto Show focused on the striking new exterior design, but what went unmentioned in many reports on the facelifted Charger (including ours) is that 2015 Charger buyers cannot order the 5.7L Hemi with the advanced all wheel drive system after the option proved to be fairly unpopular in the current models.
