It seems I’m not alone in thinking that the 2009 Journey is forgettable. You see, even Dodge themselves agree that this all-new vehicle is so ho-hum that they’re going to have trouble selling very many. To stimulate interest, Chrysler announced a $1,000 cash incentive to anyone who gets talked into an 09 Journey.
Wow. Rebates on [...]
Sure, you’ve heard of the Dodge Challenger, and even the SRT8 version. This car makes the SRT8 look absolutely tame and mild. What you’re looking at is the Dodge Challenger SRT700 Turbo. That’s right, SRT700, for 700 HP. Actually the folks over at Hennessey ( the same who are responsible for this beast ) [...]
If the regular Dodge Viper and it’s 600 HP is just too tame for you ( I feel your pain ), then you’ll need to pick up this Spring’s Neiman Marcus catalog. Inside you’ll find something bordering on the ridiculous - the Hennessey Venom 700 NM Viper. A viper tuned by lengedary tuner Hennessey, [...]
Yea, I know it’s not red. And unless you know who the Beach Boys are, the title of this post is probably lost on you. But for those who know about the Little old Lady from Pasadena, you’re busy nodding your heads and singing along. Word on the street is that Dodge will be [...]
Someone managed to snap a spy shot of the interior of the upcoming 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT-8. The shots are very small and don’t show the entire interior, but you can pick up a couple things. First, the shifter is very strange, and I don’t care for it. Second, the center stack looks awfully [...]
The all-new 2009 Ram is finally online in grand fashion. No more is it this, is it that. Here’s the real deal on the 09 Dodge Ram, for your enjoyment ( or disgust, your call ).
Looking at the new Ram, the styling is evolutionary - it looks very much like a Ram. The front end [...]
There will be no Dodge Rams produced during the entire month of January, 2008. With sales off slightly, Chrysler presumably wants to avoid getting back to the situation of having a huge inventory glut. The Dakota is also built alongside the Ram, though there’s no word on whether production on it will halt as [...]
We reported just the other day that the 2008 Dodge Challenger would start at $37,995 ( which we thought was too high ). It turns out we were off by a cool $2100 - exactly the amount of the gas guzzler tax that was missing. Adding this fun little penalty in pushes the Challenger well [...]
Chrysler may have made a fatal mistake by pricing the all-new, and supremely bad-ass 2008 Challenger at $37,995. Granted, this is for the 6.1 liter SRT-8 HEMI powered version. Granted, this car is one of the most gorgeous ( at least on the internet ) cars I’ve seen in a long time. But nearly [...]
When you hear the words “Dodge Viper”, the only thing that comes to mind is an insane amount of power, and tire-melting torque. The fact that the Viper is gorgeous, handles pretty darn well, and costs $84 grand doesn’t even register. You don’t think about the fact that you’ll have to buy [...]
Dodge is only planning to build a limited run of 5,000 2008 Challengers - despite all the potential demand. Why the low production run? Reportedly, only the high performance 6.1 liter SRT version will be available for the 2008 model year. With high performance comes a high price tag ( probably [...]
During a dealer event in Las Vegas last week, Chrysler “officially” revealed the 2009 Challenger to it’s dealers - and made the decision to ban all cameras from the event. Unfortunately for Chrysler ( and fortunately for us ), someone was able to sneak in a camera phone and snap some shots. [...]
The New Chrysler isn’t stopping it’s absurd number of recalls, regardless of name changes. The latest recall affects model year 2007 and 2008 Dodge Avengers and Chrysler Sebring sedans - 102,042 of them to be exact. This is out of approximately 127k Sebrings and Avengers that have been sold thru September this year [...]
If there’s anyone you can count on to make a 190k Honda recall not look so bad, it’s Chrysler. Letters will shortly be on their way to the unfortunate owners of nearly 300,000 2006 & 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Commanders, 2007 Jeep Wranglers, and 2007 Dodge Nitros. What’s all the fuss about? [...]
The 2009 Dodge Journey, formerly known as the Crew, shows up without the requisite body cladding. The official unveiling won’t take place until the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany next month, since this will be an international model.
The Journey rides on a lengthened version of the Avenger chassis, which makes room for an [...]
Dodge’s upcoming midsize CUV, tentatively named the Crew, is seen here wearing some pretty heavy camo. Besides the fact that Crew may be the stupidest name ever ( Anyone else think Crew Cab, as in a pickemup truck? ), Dodge has no need for this vehicle. See, this is one of those times that [...]
With a base price of over $38,000, the 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT8 does not come cheap at all. But, it is one of the most powerful wagons in the world, at any price. So, what’s new for 2008? Not too much when you get right down to it. The front end is restyled, with [...]
The first 2008 Viper SRT-10 to roll off the production line in Michigan is a beast. It’s like all the other 2008 Vipers will be - complete with a heart-stopping 600 horsepower. The catch? Well, it’s green. Kinda like a lime green, really. Dodge calls it Snakeskin Green. In any other car, I might say [...]
It looks like Dodge is finally doing something right, which feels really weird to write. But I have to hand it to the folks in Detroit ( again, this feels weird ) for sticking to the hugely popular Challenger concept. It would’ve been easy for Dodge to go astray, and screw up the Challenger [...]
After toying around with the idea for decades ( seemingly ), the 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT-4 is finally official, and we’ll see in this September. Power specs are down slightly from the previously reported 300 HP / 260 lb-ft of torque. The production engine will put out a not unhealthy 280 HP [...]
I hate the current Dodge Ram. I don’t make any apologies about it. I think it’s a horrendous vehicle, a bad truck, an unapologetic gas guzzler, and an eyesore. Also the fact that you have to get a $10,000+ discount on a Ram to make it a “decent” deal just adds to my detest [...]
I thought the Dodge Caliber was ugly enough. The child-in-spirit of a Ram and a Neon makes for a pretty ugly car. However, Dodge wasn’t content to ruin their compact entry - they’ve moved on to ruining their subcompact entry.
As if the horrid vehicle to the left wasn’t ugly enough, the worst news [...]
Here’s the 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT-4, sans all the requisite body cladding usually used to disguise pre-production models. It’s hard for me to say that I’m happy to see this car. To go along with the standard Caliber body, the SRT-4 adds foglights, a hoodscoop, and big honkin SRT wheels.
The big news, [...]
When perusing the reviews for the 2007 Dodge Nitro, a common theme was that many people referred to the styling as “striking”. I’m not sure exactly when “striking” became an acceptable substitute for “deformed”, but apparently it is now. The Dodge Nitro looks like a Dodge Ram hooked up with a Jeep [...]
The Dodge Avenger is set to hit dealer’s lots late 2007, and it will be replacing the Stratus. Considering how soulless and bland the Stratus is, it would be hard to create a worse vehicle.
Overall specs are very uninspiring. The 4 cylinder has solid power, but both of the V6 offerings ( [...]
What’s that eh? Dodge’s comeback American muscle car will really be built in Detroit right? Well, no. Our friendly French-ish Eskimo neighbors to the north will actually be building this resurrected icon of American muscle.
Yes, I know that Canada is still in America… if you mean North America. But the [...]
Boy, the small, affordable roadster market sure is getting crowded. Just a couple years ago, it consisted of the Mazda Miata. Now we have the Miata ( renamed the MX-5 ), Pontiac Solstice, and Saturn Sky. Dodge wants in on the game too, and their entry is still a concept - meet the Dodge [...]
The Dodge Dakota has always been a pretty popular truck. The reason lies in it’s size - not quite a compact, not quite a full-size. Nowadays, the Dakota has a little more competition, in the form of a larger Tacoma and Frontier. The Dakota is still larger than Chevy and Ford’s small trucks though.
The 2008 [...]
Everybody know’s I’m a V8 guy through and through. I love their power, I love their sound. But even I have a soft spot for this monster Viper. Meet the Viper SRT-10 Mopar concept - a 675 horsepower, 8.4 liter V-10 beast. I mean really, what isn’t to like here?
Just [...]
Just stop for a moment and let that sink in. 600 HP. Not long ago at all, 500 HP was simply remarkable - now we’re going to see the world’s first 600 HP car under $100k. So where did Dodge find those extra 90 ponies? Well, they had to get [...]
Meet the face of the refreshed 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT8. Compared to the current Magnum SRT8, you can definitely notice the difference. The new hood scoop jumps out right away - currently only the Charger SRT8 sports a scoop. The lower fascia is also revised, and looks better IMHO. Supposedly [...]
