		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Performance , SUV , Crossover , Jeep , New Car Reviews The Discount Choice For Super Ute Shoppers The idea of a super ute has always been a crazy one. Of all the vehicle types on which to base a high-performance machine, one that was originally intended to go off road and later evolved into the towering family wagons we use today would not be our first choice. And yet, time and again we see that auto enthusiasts - even ones calling the shots at major automakers - will make anything go quicker and faster if given the chance. That's how the first Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 was born back in 2006, and Chrysler has again seen fit to apply this extreme treatment to its best-selling SUV - despite the fact that its mere existence seemingly violates every facet of Jeep's rugged off-road image. But the small segment of super utes to which the Grand Cherokee SRT8 belongs has gotten extremely competitive in the past few years while Chrysler clawed its way out of bankruptcy. Sport utility vehicles from BMW , Porsche and Mercedes-Benz have spawned unholy super utes with enough horsepower to embarrass supercars from just a few years ago]]></description>

Not so, clarified Jeep&#8217;s bosses, while keeping the window open. Now Jeep CEO Mike Manley is hinting at diesels again, telling the Freep that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Crossover , Jeep , Reviews Least Capable Jeep Still Lost In The Woods 2011 Jeep Compass -   Let's be honest here: The Jeep Compass should have never been built - at least not in the form it took. A derivative of the compact Dodge Caliber , the Compass is neither a real Jeep nor an SUV, but a singular testament to how badly Daimler mismanaged the brand over its decade of ownership. And sales have proven this out. Although the Compass did well in the first year after its May 2006 launch, interest quickly cooled, and through the end of 2010, Chrysler had totaled only 111,000 Compass sales. The company managed to move fewer than 16,000 of them last year. A "softroader," the Compass was meant to compete in the growing field of compact, front-wheel-drive crossovers often derided as "Cute Utes." The misguided, condescending and paternalistic attitude of the Germans running DaimlerChrysler at the time was that young women would flock to the Compass, while its mechanical twin, the Jeep Patriot , was designed for the boys. While the Patriot at least looked like a Jeep - the much-loved, discontinued Cherokee - the googly-eyed Compass was cartoonish, like a Jeep animated for the Powerpuff Girls]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Chrysler , Jeep , Specialty , Reviews , Off-Road Treads Where No Pop-Up Has Tread Before Jeep Extreme Trail Edition Camper -   All that stood between us and our chosen camping spot was 100 yards of loose rock - Precambrian granite that formed slippery masses of pebbles and shards, which ranged in size from as small as a quarter to larger hunks resembling a freshly sharpened axe head. It's difficult to walk on with hiking boots, let alone drive across. Did we mention we had no intentions of pitching a tent? No, what we had in mind was a fire, a few hot dogs and a nice warm bed with a roof over our heads. There are only a few vehicles in the world that we would trust with the success or failure of our weekend getaway, and the Jeep Wrangler happens to be one of them. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: SUV , Crossover , Jeep 2011 Jeep Patriot -   Chrysler has just revealed the first images and details of its 2011 Jeep Patriot , and the compact softroader has received very subtle nip/tuck for the new model year that touch nearly every aspect of the vehicle. The alterations include a new front fascia with fog lamps integrated with the headlamps, color-keyed grille, a new front fascia that's lower than before, new 17-inch alloys and a brace of new colors, among other differences. Under the skin, the baby Jeep receives reworked steering and suspension tunings (though the company declines specifics) and 4x4 models benefit from additional inch of ride height to augment its off-road capabilities. Like other recent Chrysler models, the Patriot's interior has been a sticking point since the model was introduced for the 2007 model year, and the Auburn Hills automaker has devoted quite a bit of attention to upgrading the cabin in this revised model. Changes include new soft-touch door panels with backlighting for the door and window switches, a new armrest, a new wheel with redundant audio controls (along with Bluetooth and cruise), higher-quality cloth on the seats, and so on. Analyze the changes for yourself by checking out our high-res gallery below and the official press release after the jump.

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: SUV , Jeep , Reviews , Luxury Proof Positive That Chrysler Can Still Compete 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee -   We're finally beginning to get a glimpse of exactly what Chrysler has been up to since snagging a whopping $6.6 billion in federal funding during the automotive implosion of 2009. While General Motors has been busily chugging along like nothing happened, the Pentastar hasn't exactly rolled out a wave of new and refreshed models. There's been an obvious hitch in the Chrysler giddy up, and those loyal to the company's three brands have been forced to settle for little more than slightly reworked option packages... until now. As 2010 comes to a close, the company is pulling the covers off a range of new models, each as important to its future success as the last. In a world populated by bubble crossovers, the Grand Cherokee clearly stands apart. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Crossover , Chrysler , Jeep , Reviews 2010 Jeep Patriot - Click above for high-res image gallery The year was 2006, and Chrysler was fresh off the successful launch of the gangsta 300 and the oddly well-received Dodge Charger . The future looked bright for the Pentastar, with a plethora of new products set to arrive for the 2007 model year. The Chrysler Sebring and Aspen , the Dodge Caliber and Nitro and the Jeep Compass and Patriot were all primed to turn the car-buying world on-end. Or not. The Aspen is now history, the Sebring and Nitro have been abject failures, and the Caliber, Compass and Patriot, all of which share the same platform, haven't come close to meeting expectations. But one vehicle almost had a shot: the Patriot. Despite mudding Jeep's crystal-clear brand DNA by adding a front-wheel drive soft-roader to the mix, the Patriot's all-four cylinder lineup and better-than-advertised fuel economy arrived just as gas prices rocketed into the stratosphere. ]]></description>

SpeedFactory set out to accomplish something never been done before at the South Georgia Motorsports Park, push a late model Charger literally to its limits. The 2006 Dodge Charger uses its infamous 426 HEMI that gets some help from a V7 YSI supercharger to pump out an astounding 900 horsepower. The car weighs in at 3,750 lbs due to the stripped interior. Check out the quarter mile run video and full press release below! Enjoy!

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: SUV , Marketing/Advertising , Chrysler , Dodge According to an Autoblog source, Dodge will abandon the Durango nameplate for the model's replacement due for 2012. In place of that two-generation designator, Chrysler is exhuming the Magnum nameplate, a moniker used on the low-slung wagon built on Chrysler's LX platform up until 2008. The new Magnum is expected to be built atop the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee chassis (itself riding on Mercedes-Benz -derived architecture) and skew more toward the crossover segment than the previous rough-and-ready SUV. Our source originally showed us a screen capture of a Pentastar service training software page on its Chrysler Academy Learning Center confirming the Magnum's existence (shown above), but at that time, he wasn't clear what the vehicle was. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ There is no reason to doubt the fact that Porsche has been one of the most prominent staples in the automotive world. It was almost an instant classic when the Porsche 356 and 911 were first introduced. From the 911 to the VW Beetle, Ferdinand &#8220;Ferry&#8221; Anton Ernst Porsche would set out to launch one of the most successful car design firms ever. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ For 2009, the Hyundai Tucson returns with additional exterior and interior changes that make it even more desirable.  These changes include 4-6% improved fuel economy, all-new 16X6in. alloy wheels, 200-watt Kenwood Navigation/Audio System, a more distinctive chrome grille, new tailgate trim, metal grain interior accents, more color choices and new GLS seat fabric.  The Tucson SE 4X4 receives standard heated front seats and a windshield wiper de-icer.  An optional B&#038;M Racing sport shifter adds shorter throw-lengths and enhances precision to Tucson&#8217;s manual four-speed transmission.  All Tucson&#8217;s now come with standard XM Satellite radio and an auxiliary audio input. The Tucson is a very competitive compact sport utility that rates high against the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, Jeep Patriot and Toyota RAV4.  The Tucson has good looks, a choice of two engines, a fully independent suspension, 4X4 option with plenty of room for up to 5-persons and is fun and easy to drive with excellent fuel mileage.  Young families will like the sporty looks and very functional interior. With gas prices on the rise again and consumers demanding better fuel economy, the 2009 Tucson delivers with a choice of two engines-a 2.0 liter DOHC &#8216;Beta&#8217; in-line four-cylinder engine that when mated to the four-speed automatic achieves 20mpg/city and 26mpg/highway.  Horsepower is rated at 140 at 6,000rpm, and torque is 136lb.ft. at 4,500rpm.  In addition to the smooth and efficient four-cylinder engine, the Tucson also offers an optional 2.7 liter V6 for improved acceleration and passing power.  This &#8216;Delta&#8217; series engine has an aluminum block and heads to keep weight down, while four-valve combustion chambers and DOHC ensure ample performance.  Horsepower peaks at 173 at 6,000rpm and torque crests at 178lb.ft. at 4,000rpm.  I was impressed with the launch in my Limited 4X4 model.  The V6 with its standard four-speed Shiftronic automatic four-speed and 4X4 drive now delivers 18mpg/city and 23mpg/highway.  Tucson offers a wide range of transmission choices to suit a variety of customer needs.  In the GLS trim with the standard 4-cylinder engine, owners can choose between a precise five-speed manual with an optional B&#038;M Racing Sport Shifter for more precise shifting or a convenient four-speed Shiftronic automatic.  This sophisticated unit can function like a conventional automatic, but also has manual controls for a more sporty driving experience.  The Shiftronic automatic comes standard with the V6 engine. ]]></description>
