With a cool name like Avenger and styling that offers up an aggressive flair, one would assume that some serious muscle would accompany the R/T badge. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. With 235 horses on tap, the R/T offers a bit more punch that the SXT and its optional 2.7-liter V6, but c’mon people – a 235-horse sport model in a world of 268-horsepower Camrys, 270-horsepower Altimas, and even 240-horsepower Chevy Malibus? Even the Hyundai Sonata, hardly anyone’s definition of sport sedan, comes in with 234 horsepower. Dodge officials wouldn’t comment, but we can only hope for an SRT version down the line. At least the R/T features a six-speed automatic with a manual mode that’s mildly entertaining.
