Dodge Releases Images of New Durango

Friday, September 3, 2010

While cross-town rivals General Motors and Ford have introduced a slew of new products, Chrysler and its brands have been left pretty much with their current lineups. Remarkably, the financial situation for the automaker has begun to turn around even without a new lineup. This is surprising given the industry consensus of Chrysler being so [...]

The coachbuilding and aftermarket has opened up a lot of opportunities for people who want different vehicles. Chevrolet created a ripe clientele for the aftermarket with the Camaro. It was created for both aftermarket accessories for Camaro fans, and also body kits for Pontiac purists who really wanted a new Firebird. The same hasn’t really [...]

The current Viper saga is finally coming to a close. Last year, the future of the car was in doubt as Chrysler hit financial hard times.

How To: Install A Banks Ram-Air Intake On A Dodge 6.7 Cummins

Most people see large diesel trucks as tools for accomplishing a job. What most people don’t realize is that with a few choice modifications, a modern turbodiesel truck can produce an absolutely obscene amount of weapons-grade power.

Used Car Buyer’s Guide: Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4

The 3000GT VR-4 is a sign of both what’s right and what’s terminally wrong with the automotive industry. Which is remarkable, because they haven’t made one since, oh -- 2000.

Top Ten lists are a longstanding tradition with automotive journalism outlets. And why not? People love a Top Ten list (it gives them something to argue about!), and man, they’re not exactly hard to throw together.
