Waiting for the 2011 Chrysler 300. The new cornerstone of Chrysler’s vehicle lineup will soon be here.
There was a look and feeling about the 300 that just screamed SOLID. I remember the first time my wife saw one she said, “That new Chrysler looks like a tank… but the most elegant tank I have ever seen… when can I drive one”. I expect the same kind of reaction to the new 2011 Chrysler 300. It stands alone! There is just no match for this vehicle in any other domestic or import line-up anywhere.
New Chrysler badges kick the revisions off, the winged emblem being lengthened and streamlined compared to the current item. The appearance is decidedly upscale. The new grill has been referred to by some writers as the Chrysler corporate grill however, in my opinion, it sets off the new 300 in a way that is anything but corporate. It adds a more streamlined look to the front end that will undoubtedly be well received.
New projector-beam headlights are reshaped and add LED lighting strips. The rectangular front air intakes are chrome-trimmed and house new circular fog lights. Even the hood is revamped, with a bold middle bulge and a more rounded look.
All new cathedral-style taillights sit out back, with extensive chrome trim. The taillight design is the vehicle’s most obvious change, being both reshaped and accented with chrome trim running down the middle and around the perimeter. Chrome trim also bridges both taillights, running from their bases across the top of the restyled rear bumper and twin exhaust tips. The trunk lid incorporates a new subtly curved lip adding an element of sport.
The 2011 Chrysler 300 will be getting the new Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 engine, but which horsepower variant hasn’t been released yet. Additionally, I assume the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 will remain optional, but what changes it may receive are yet to be released.
A whole new instrument cluster is seen for the first time, with heavy blue backlighting and a techy but elegant allure.
As you can tell by now, many of the details have yet to be released but one thing is for sure… this one will be flying off the showroom floor as soon as it arrives. Keep your eye open for the new cornerstone of the Chrysler line-up, it will be a vehicle like no other.
Information for this article was gathered from multiple sources before official statistics were available from the factory and therefore cannot not be viewed as positively accurate.

With the New 2011 Dodge Challenger… Everything Retro is New Again.
First, for those interested in pure power, the 2011 Challenger will get a 6.4L Hemi boasting around 500bhp and be more fuel efficient than the 6.1L unit currently found in the 2010 Dodge Challenger. More power with more fuel economy… that’s a win-win for the acceleration junkies.
The long-hood, short-deck shape, wide grille, graceful roofline, and full-width tail lamps will continue to honor the 1970 Challenger two-door coupe. Challenger is significantly larger than the Mustang and Camaro competitors and the payoff is the softest ride, widest cockpit, and roomiest rear seat in the class. In fact, Challenger is the only one of the three that has seating positions for five passengers instead of four. This will give Challenger a broader appeal for the family man that still wants to drive something cool.
The 2011 Challenger will retain its rear-wheel-drive layout but the hot new 3.6-liter dubbed the “Pentastar” V-6 will be a welcome addition to powertrain options. Debuting in the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it’s an advanced dual-overhead cam design with variable valve timing and is initially rated at 280 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.
Head-protecting curtain side airbags for both seating rows will be standard. Same for a manual tilt/telescope steering wheel, power driver’s seat, and a split rear seat back that folds to create a cargo-passage from the trunk. The 2011 Challenger’s five-speed automatic transmission will again feature a separate gate for manual-type gear changes, while the six-speed manual’s lever will again be topped with a 1970s-style pistol-grip handle.
Other returning options will include a power sunroof, remote engine start for automatic-transmission models, and xenon headlamps and a functional hood scoop for R/T models. SRT8 models come with xenons, function hood scoops, leather upholstery, special sport bucket front seats, and dashboard readouts that track 0-60-mph acceleration times, lateral G-forces, and other lead-foot data. Leather upholstery will return as an option on SE and R/T models, accompanied by heated front seats and mirrors. Also available again will be a voice-activated navigation system with real-time traffic information; Chrysler’s Uconnect multimedia system that includes USB iPod interface and steering-wheel audio controls; and sound systems that range to a 368-watt setup with seven Boston Acoustic speakers.
The 2011 Dodge Challenger will be hitting the showroom floors quickly and hitting the streets even faster. It’s sure to take you back to the future in a heartbeat.

The 2011 Jeep Liberty: Big 4-wheel Capabilities in a Smaller Package.
The 2011 Liberty’s 3.7-liter V6 produces 210 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 235 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm and combined with the 4-speed automatic transmission give you an ideal drive-train for on-road, off-road and towing.
The Electronic Stability Control combines ABS brakes, All-Speed Traction Control and a stability system to give you the all-season capability of front-wheel drive with the performance of rear-wheel drive. It determines when to apply the brakes to one or more wheels, and when to reduce engine torque in critical driving situations. As always, performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect so stay alert and always be careful not to overdrive conditions..
This electronically controlled full-time 4WD system allows the driver to choose between two-wheel-drive or full-time four-wheel-drive (4WD Auto) modes. In 4WD Auto, Selec-Trac II® sends torque to both front and rear axles under nearly all conditions. If wheel slippage occurs, the integrated traction control system helps transfer torque to those wheels with traction. Neutral mode permits flat towing without the need to disconnect linkages. Selec-Trac is a registered trademark of Chrysler Group LLC
The 2011 Liberty’s Antilock brakes are equipped with electronic sensors that prevent wheel lockup, offering improved steering control under extreme braking or slippery conditions. Traction control uses sensors to determine how fast each wheel is turning. If the sensors indicate a certain wheel slipping during acceleration, the system applies braking power to that wheel to help it regain traction.
The Liberty is equipped with a transmission skid plate, fuel tank skid plate, transfer case skid plate and front suspension skid plate designed for maximum protection when the undercarriage is exposed to rocks or other debris encountered in off-road conditions.
You’ll find the interior of the 2011 Liberty to be technologically advanced as well as cargo friendly. Power heated exterior mirrors w/manual fold-away and power windows with driver's one-touch-down feature are plus for any vehicle. There’s the Electronic Vehicle Information Center and Media Center 130 with CD/MP3 radio, SIRIUS Satellite Radio and Audio Jack. Uconnect™ voice command of hands free phone and music, is available on select models.
Front passenger fold-flat forward seat and rear 60 / 40 split-folding reclining seat make loading and hauling cargo a breeze. If you need big-time 4 wheel drive capabilities in a small to mid-sized SUV, then you should come in and drive the 2011 Jeep Liberty. You won’t be disappointed.

Tell everyone you bought it for the family. It can be our secret that the real motivation was taking better care of you

Town & Country offers one or two 9-inch DVD screens that flip down from the overhead console. And with SIRIUS Backseat TV™, and two DVD players, the kids don't have to settle on just one thing to watch You to take your home gaming system with you. An available 115V power outlet powers your system while audio / video jacks let you connect the system to Town & Country’s Rear Seat Video™ system.

The advanced Uconnect™ Media Center radios let you store thousands of songs, select playlists, play videos, view photos and more.

Town & Country’s available steering wheel–mounted audio controls let you change stations and adjust volume without ever taking your hands off the wheel.

It’s New, and This One’s “Not Your Daddy’s Wrangler”
The Jeep Wrangler has always had a legendary following that is often passed down from father to son. Your dad should be pleasantly surprised that the 2011 Wrangler is even more capable than those driven by loyal followers in the past and yet the new interior has an eye for comfort, technology and style that is something new for this favorite work hard/play hard vehicle.
Dad will appreciate that the classic Wrangler look remains the same but the capabilities and feature just keep getting better. The best in off-road readiness is offered in the 2011 Rubicon models with features like extra-low gearing, heavy-duty axles, and electronically locking front and rear differentials. There's never been a better off-road vehicle than Wrangler and that will never change. What has changed is that it has become a much more user-friendly on-road vehicle.
New features like a larger rear window in the soft top and heated power windows may be considered creature comforts but they are greatly appreciated. Inside there are more storage areas, more comfortable seating, and a lockable console, hands-free cell phone, and cruise control buttons at the driver's fingertips. The interior also includes a USB connection for iPods and other MP3 players plus the ride is a lot quieter now after much attention was put on noise reduction in the new interior.
Dad may have a hard time getting used to the look of the 4-door unlimited Wrangler that has been growing in popularity ever since the introduction but he has to appreciate this feature when dropping off the grand kids and having them pop in and out of the back doors while he sits comfortable in the front. Steps just under the doors make getting in and out easier and you can expect the new Wrangler to handle much better on city streets.
The Wrangler just keeps getting better and there's never been a better time to start your own family tradition with the new 2011 Jeep Wrangler. Please let your dad drive it at least once for old time's sake.

The all-new 2011 Dodge Charger is a performance enthusiast’s dream.
This all-new Charger is a powerful, head turning performance machine that delivers an amazing amount of fuel efficiency based on the muscle provided.

Inside you’ll notice the quieter ride achieved by chassis changes designed to reduce road noise and vibration. Other improvements made to reduce noise were acoustic wheel well liners, triple seals on the doors and more sound-deadening foam everywhere. Drivers and passengers will also enjoy the Uconnect Touch for complete multimedia integration.
Outside the Charger has the unmistakable Dodge attitude from the cross-hair grill in front to a rear with 164 LED lights that leave an unmistakable impression on those you’ve left at the stoplight.

The all-new 2011 Dodge Durango, an SUV for the New Millennium.
Everything has changed except, of course, the name. The all-new 2011 Dodge Durango is completely different from its predecessors with innovations starting at the unibody construction and never seeming to end.
The visual update begins with the stylish new and unmistakably Dodge appearance of the latest version of the cross-hair grill. The new look is sleeker and more refined. This Durango has definitely taken more than a page from the cross-over play book.
If you’re looking for off-road capability and cross-over versatility this new Durango is the vehicle for you. It comes with the new 3.6 liter Pentastar V-6 standard and the 5.7 liter Hemi V-8 is available. You can get the Hemi V-8 with the multi-displacement system, (MDS) which allows the V-8 to shut down 4 cylinders for greater fuel efficiency when more power isn’t needed.
The updated powertrains and chassis offer more 4-wheel capability, a better eye on fuel economy and a much improved ride. The interior now boasts 22 different passenger and cargo configurations and a much more refined look and feel. The longer wheelbase has made possible highly requested improvements in the 3rd row of seating.
Available safety features include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning. Side curtain airbags for all three rows of seating and active head restraints come standard on every 2011 Durango.
This is it. The one enthusiasts have waiting for is definitely the SUV for the new Millennium.

Urban Legend: Derek Ekins’ Chrysler 300 SRT10 | Red Letter Dodge
Amidst the Vipers circling Miller Motorsports Park at the 11th Annual Viper Owner’s Invitational last week were a few animals that clearly did not belong in the reptile exhibit. Most notable among them was Derek Ekins’ custom fabricated 2006 Chrysler 300 Touring, which harbors a sinister secret under the hood – 525 of them, to be exact. In place of the factory-installed 3.5-liter V6 that originally powered the vehicle sits Dodge’s gen III 8.3L Viper V10 engine, which Derek claims cranks out 25 more horsepower than the original. Even more inspiring than the performance, though, is how all of this came to be.
When you view Derek’s masterpiece for the first time, your only thought after regaining the ability to process abstract information...

The Dodge Brand continues Chrysler Group's vehicle momentum with the new 2011 Dodge Journey – designed to be a mid-size crossover with “right sized” proportions for today's family that wants it all
For 2011, Dodge takes what was good and makes it better. The Dodge Journey receives a major overhaul with a completely redesigned and retuned suspension, a new V-6 engine and a new interior with room from up to five- to seven-passenger seating.
And that's not all.
Journey also features the Chrysler Group's new PowerNet electrical architecture: touch-screen command center, Uconnect Touch. The Uconnect Touch combines everything from navigation to dual-zone climate controls to the ability to check fuel prices.
Chrysler Group engineers improved routine ride handling in the 2011 Dodge Journey by re-engineering the suspension geometry, adding new, improved premium tires and redesigning the steering for a more precise and coordinated response.
With 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, the 2011 Dodge Journey is equipped with the new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that delivers a 20 percent boost in power compared with the V-6 engine it replaces.
Drivers also will be treated to a smooth, quiet ride. Engineers reduced noise, vibration and harshness by installing new, premium sound-deadening treatments and insulation throughout the vehicle.
Most rewarding surprise
But perhaps the most rewarding surprise is Journey's new interior. A beautifully crafted one-piece instrument panel sets the tone. A new, larger cluster with standard electronic vehicle information center (EVIC) is positioned in the center of the new gauges. It's a full-color display backlit in Dodge red lights, giving it a soft glow unlike any in the segment.
New, integrated center stack bezels are less angular and more sculpted, and designers softened the radius to make more room for the driver's knees. The heating and cooling outlets are also redesigned to make them better looking and better functioning.
The center console gets a lot of extra cushion on the tilt-and-slide armrest. Lift the lid, and there's a larger center storage bin with a 12-volt outlet and USB port where owners can hook up their MP3/iPod charging connections and hide them away.
Journey also is loaded with an abundance of safety and security features, including:
- standard advanced multi-stage front passenger air bags,
- active head restraints,
- electronic stability control (ESC) with all-speed traction control,
- electronic roll mitigation and brake assist,
- new driver-side knee blocker air bag,
- supplemental side-curtain air bags covering all three rows,
- supplemental front-seat-mounted side air bags,
- four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes,
- LATCH child seat anchor system, and
- trailer sway control.
The Dodge Journey is built at Chrysler Group LLC's Toluca Assembly Plant in Toluca, Mexico. It will arrive in U.S. dealerships during fourth quarter of 2010.

Spy Shots: 2011 Dodge Charger & 2012 Durango/Magnum
The New Durango/Magnum officially launches next year and expect it to be available with Chrysler's new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 (much like the new Jeep). The front end attributes are similar to that of the Ram pickup, and since the Ram brand has been spun off to house Dodge's truck offerings, don't be shocked if the new
The 2011 Dodge Charger has a more aggresive front end with chiseled lines that flow from the front fascia to the new hood. The powerplant is planned have an optional boost in power with a 6.4L HEMI SRT8 motor that gets better gas mileage than the 6.1 ltr and also about 25-35 more horspower(450-460hp). This is just a spy of the exterior but Ralph Gilles, Dodge brand chief, has said that the new interior will be “class-leading” with styling that matches the dramatic new exterior, we can’t wait!

Coming Soon! 2010 Dodge Nitro Detonator to Tim Marburger Dodge Chrysler Jeep
Friday, May 21, 2010
The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Coming Soon!!!
The new V6 increases gas mileage by 11%, for 23 mpg highway — over 500 miles per tank. The interior provides over four inches of increased rear-seat knee and leg room, and 17 percent morecargo volume. Numerous safety features are standard, and options include Blind-spot/Rear Cross-path detection and Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Collision Warning, along with FloTV, satellite TV, and Internet router.
The new interior now features rich materials and elegant appointments, as well as more room for both passengers and cargo. An optional CommandView® dual-pane sun roof provides twice as much glass surface than a standard sun roof and extends from the windshield to the rear of the vehicle. The front panel may be opened rearward, providing additional light and fresh air to first-row passengers. The rear panel, which is fixed, allows light and open viewing for second-row passengers and comes standard with a power sun shade.
The Quadra-Lift air suspension system (for 4x4 only) has five height settings, two for off-road use (raising 1.3 and 2.6 inches above normal, to a maximum 11.1 inches of ground clearance), “aero” (lowering .5 inches for aerodynamics at speed), and entry/exit, which lowers the car by 1.5 inches. Quadra-Lift operates four-corner air springs automatically, or via console controls; the Aero control is automatic and speed-controlled.
More than 3.3 million customer-equivalent miles were recorded on Pentastar engine dynamometers prior to production. Severity testing was increased 50% versus previous Chrysler V-6 engines — which have had strong durability — to accommodate high-load applications including trailer-towing.
