Dodge Awesome and Invigorated
If you are a car fan you know fun of the fun of following the market is examining new models as they enter the showroom. There is just something special about a new car: the smell, the look, the price tag! For some 17 million American drivers a new car is in their future, while many others opt for the used auto market. Some of the automobiles on the market today are hot, hot, hot! Let’s have a look at several new and future offerings from Dodge.
Thanks in part to new ownership [Daimler Benz purchased the Chrysler Corporation in 1998] a fresh infusion of great looking Dodge models have hit a showroom near you. Extra models are shortly to appear and the makeover that Dodge has been receiving is nothing but shocking. These are some of my favorites:
Magnum – who said that a station wagon should resemble a family hauler? The Magnum sure doesn’t. With a frightening grille and a rakish exterior, the Magnum is a true man pleaser while also giving girls a bit extra room in the back to haul stuff. Chuck in a Hemi and the Magnum actually rocks!
Charger – O.K , so the new Charger has 4 doors. Well, you can not have everything. You can have macho looks, a powerful engine, and a vehicle that is certain to compete with anything that Japan or Germany throws its way. Word has it that DaimlerChrysler is considering a coupe version. Now, wouldn’t that be cool!
Caliber – Bye, bye Neon. The Neon served Dodge well, but it is not in the same caliber as the Caliber. Pun intended. To be introduced in Spring 2006 as a 2007 model, the Caliber will have three engine choices: 1.8, 2.0, and 2.4 I4s, a steadily available transaxle, and all wheel drive. In addition, 2.0L diesel engines should be available outside of the North American market – why not here? – as DaimlerChrysler sets to introduce the Dodge name into new markets.
Other Dodge vehicles that are getting noticed include the Ram and Dakota pick up wagons, the Durango SUV and the soon to get introduced Dodge Nitro, the division’s version of the compact Jeep Freedom . Oh, yep, who could forget the 510-hp V10 Viper? Are you say, Corvette beater?
One word you can not associate with Dodge anymore is the word, “boring.” Exciting cars, trucks, and SUVs for a market craving these sorts of hot vehicles. I assume the “ram” insignia truly does befit the name.
