According to a recent poll the 2009 Dodge Challenger was recently place at the top of Consumer Reports “Predicted Owner Satisfaction Survey” according to CNN Money.

Chrysler’s 2009 retro styled Challenger muscle car, is the car best loved by its owners according to the CR survey. The Challenger is one of the many former muscle cars in recent years that manufacturers took and modernized its design.

In the past five years redesigns of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro have pleased muscle car fans of the 60′s and 70′s. According Jon Sherrell, Ecommerce Director from Rairdon Dodge in Seattle, the Challenger has been one of their top sellers in the Dodge line.

“Washinton Dodge owners love the Challenger’s new look, features and improved safety. Having an original Challenger in mint condition is not in every one’s budget. The 2009 Challenger has all the horsepower and responsiveness to please former Challenger owners who have fond memories of their high school ride.”

The Ford Fusion Hybrid was second place in the survey this year.  The Toyota Prius dropped to 5th place in the rankings behind the Chevrolet Corvette and Porche 911.

Accord to CNN’s article “The survey which asks car owners “considering all factors (price, performance, reliability, comfort, enjoyment, etc.), would you get this car if you had it to do all over again?” tends to favor vehicles that people purchase for design, driving performance, or other emotional reasons rather than to simply fill practical needs.”
