If you are a car fan you know that part of the fun of following the market is examining new models as they enter the showroom. There’s just something special about a new automobile : the smell, the look, the price tag! For some 17,000,000 American drivers a new automobile is in their future, while many others go for the used auto market. Some of the cars on the market today are hot, hot, hot! Let’s have a look at many new and future offerings from Dodge.
Thanks in part to new ownership [Daimler Benz purchased the Chrysler Enterprise in 1998] a fresh infusion of great looking Dodge models have hit a showroom near you. Additional models are soon to appear and the makeover that Dodge has been receiving is nothing but astonishing. These are some of my favorites:
Magnum – who said that a station lorry should resemble a family hauler? The Magnum sure does not. With a frightening grille and a rakish exterior, the Magnum is a true man pleaser while also giving women a bit extra room in the back to haul stuff. Chuck in a Hemi and the Magnum actually rocks!
Charger – Okay, so the new Charger has four doors. Well, you can not have everything. You can have macho looks, a robust engine, and a vehicle that is sure 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. Joke intended. To get introduced in Spring 2006 as a 2007 model, the Caliber will have 3 engine selections : 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 the northern US market – why not here? – as DaimlerChrysler sets to introduce the Dodge name into new markets.
Other Dodge automobiles that are getting spotted include the Ram and Dakota pick up lorries, the Durango SUV and the soon to be introduced Dodge Nitro, the division’s version of the compact Jeep Freedom . Oh, yeah, who could forget the 510-hp V10 Viper? Are you say, Corvette beater?
One word you can’t associate with Dodge anymore is the word, “boring.” Exciting cars, vans, and SUVs for a market craving these sorts of hot automobiles. I guess the “ram” insignia actually does befit the name.
