to be fair. BMW is much more reliable than Mercs and Audis.

I don't buy the point that M5's are underrated on power. The Hemi guys are claiming the Hellcat is underrated (not buying that either). It does the car company no good to undervalue performance of the car. And IF they do, it's probably not by a huge difference/margin. Bottom line, the 707 HP Charger is faster. It's a muscle Saloon. The M5 probably handles better (I'd bet next months pay on it). They weigh about the same. One costs twice as much. BMW's are great cars. I've owned 2. They were always in the shop however (after a BMW hits 4 years of age...sell it). Dodges may need visits to the shop after they have a few hard miles on them....but they are FAR cheaper to fix. BMW parts and maintenance is painful.

sure you can compare these 2 cars. But keep in mind. Only 1 of these cars has 10 airbags. And to be honest about branding, and quality, it's about iphone vs xiaomi. The xiaomi does everything a smartphone does and does it well, but it's a xiaomi, and in the long run, you can bet the iphone is going to do better at more things and will be more desirable even if the processor isn't as fast, or the monitor isn't as big, etc... exactly what we have with these 2 cars
the dodge has more hp, costs less, has leather this, aluminum that. it has its own rightful market. But it's definitely not in the same market as an M5

Hellcat is butt ugly and knock off looking. Safe to say BMW dominates this cheap piece shit
