Dodge News

Dodge has chosen Las Vegas Motor Speedway to take the wraps off its new Charger that will compete in the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.
Chrysler's Street and Racing Technology will display the vehicle at 10:30 a.m. March 11 in the Neon Garage at the speedway. The unveiling occurs shortly before the Sprint Cup's Kobalt Tools 400.
"I'm very pleased with the way the car turned out," SRT president and CEO Ralph Gilles said. "We have some issues with drag, obviously, because we've changed it so much. But I think people won't believe their eyes when they're looking at what they think is basically a street car with some flat rubber on it. It will be interesting to see the responses."
Gilles didn't go into details on the changes.
Speedway president Chris Powell, noting that Dodge has been the official vehicle of LVMS since 2001, said video of the unveiling will be shown live to the fans in the stands.
"We're just very appreciative and happy that everyone at Dodge ... has chosen Las Vegas Motor Speedway as the place where the new Dodge Charger will be unveiled," Powell said.

Dodge Journey Wheels

The Dodge Journey is a compact five- or seven-passenger crossover vehicle in the same size and price class as vehicles like the Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, Subaru Forester and Toyota RAV4.  Sharing some mechanicals with the Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200, the Journey's actually built in Mexico, formerly alongside the Chrysler PT Cruiser hatchback. Decent ride quality matched up with acceptably responsive steering for a moderately pleasant driving experience. Fuel economy hit 19/25 mpg on four-cylinder models, and the V-6 front-drive Journey wasn't far behind at 16/24 mpg. The V-6 with AWD dropped to 15/23 mpg.
For the 2011 model year, Chrysler retuned the Dodge Journey's handling, replaced the old V-6 with a new 283-horsepower, 3.6-liter unit, and added a six-speed automatic.  A new interior made for a striking update, while the Journey's sheetmetal was left mostly alone, with only minor tweaks to its grille and headlamps.

Our family-friendly vehicles will make your annual Thanksgiving pilgrimage and road trip stress-free.
Some of you might just stay home this weekend and watch the parade, entertain guests, take in some football and devour a big turkey with all the trimmings. Hopefully you won’t pass out on the couch before It’s a Wonderful Life comes on, but if you do, it’ll be okay as we’re sure it’ll be on more than once this weekend.
So, tell us how you’ll be spending your Thanksgiving weekend along with any leftovers you’d like to share with us.

Dodge Sprinter.

The big news for the 2009 Dodge Sprinter passenger van is that the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 is now the only available engine -- last year's optional 3.5-liter gasoline V6 is no longer offered. Otherwise, the Sprinter sees only minor changes for 2009.
Introduction. Time moves slowly in the passenger-van segment. There are only three players in this game, and two of them -- the Chevy Express/GMC Savana twins and the Ford Econoline -- were last redesigned during the Clinton years. While these aging behemoths have been updated on an ongoing basis, it's hard to disguise underpinnings that date to 1992 (the Ford) or 1996 (the GM duo). The Dodge Sprinter, on the other hand, is a relative neophyte, having received a full redesign for the 2007 model year.
If the Sprinter were aimed squarely at the American stalwarts, then its up-to-date design would make it a slam-dunk choice. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. The Dodge is actually a rebranded Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, which is designed for European needs. Accordingly, the Sprinter is far more maneuverable and fuel-efficient than its American rivals -- but its turbodiesel V6 lacks the grunt of a good old-fashioned V8 or V10, and its narrow-looking body may seem odd to American drivers.
The front of your ride is the “face.” It is not only what people notice first, but it is also the area that is constantly exposed to potential dangers. Maintaining its health is needless to say, crucial. A Dodge Sprinter Grill Guard is an important investment. With a Dodge Grill Guard, your front-end is defended against rocks, gravel, sticks, and debris while also presenting a stylishly custom look. Our selection of Dodge Sprinter Grille Guards is chock full of Stainless Steel options for you to take a swing at, all coming from the most reputable names in the land like Westin® and Romik®. All Dodge Sprinter Grille Guards come with user-friendly instructions and mounting hardware for a DIY installation.

2011 Dodge Challenger.

Two of the auto industry’s most-watched third-party quality studies were released recently, with both taking decidedly different approaches to measuring customer satisfaction: The J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study (IQS) puts its emphasis on the absolute number of problems reported by vehicle owners, while the Strategic Vision Total Quality Index (TQI) uses a more holistic strategy that seeks to determine how much owners “love” their vehicles. But here’s something the two do have in common: In each of them, the Dodge Challenger was the highest-rated vehicle in its class, beating out both the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro.
That’s not likely to change much in the future, either, since the Challenger was the recent beneficiary of a host of customer-satisfying upgrades for 2011, receiving both a new, comprehensively updated second-generation rear-wheel-drive architecture for world-class ride and handling, as well as a revised, race-inspired cabin that still offers the most room in its class. Today’s Challenger lineup now features three performance-oriented alternatives:
Challenger SE, with an all-new Pentastar V6 that is both more powerful and more fuel-efficient than last year’s; the high-tech engine makes 305 hp (55 more than the Challenger’s previous V6) while achieving EPA ratings of up to 27 mpg highway (2 more than last year).
Challenger R/T, offering enhanced HEMI-supplied power courtesy of a 5.7-liter V8 that can deliver 376 horses and race from 0-60 in less than six seconds.
Challenger SRT8 392, boasting a massive 392-cubic-inch HEMI V8 that delivers a thundering 470 hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, mated to either a standard Tremec six-speed manual transmission or Dodge’s advanced five-speed automatic with Auto Stick manual-shifting capabilities; with the former combination, the Challenger SRT8 392 can rip off 0-60 runs in the high four-second range.

Dodge Caliber News.

Chrysler had a real hit on its hands (at least initially) when it launched the Neon in 1994. And though it was plagued by early quality issues, it actually had a waiting list to buy one when it first came out. The Caliber, however, has been less of a market success.
In replacing the ubiquitous Neon in 2006, Dodge went with a pseudo-SUV shape to create a more rugged aesthetic on the Caliber. Quality, unfortunately, wasn't much better, and the slushy CVT and interior were widely panned – attributes which, as we found in our recent test drive, were enough to keep the Caliber from being a real success.
Now, five years after its launch, a new report from Allpar says that the Pentastar's econo-ute won't see another new year. The model, according to reports, will be phased out by the end of November. Its replacement is widely expected to come from Fiat underpinnings, but whether that will come in time for the Caliber's discontinuation – or for that matter, beat its nagging deficiencies – remains to be seen.
