Charger Pursuit: cop car gets more sinister
Charger cop cars are imposing already, but the all-new 2011 Dodge Charger Pursuit takes sinister to a whole new level, wrote Car and Driver. The police version provides additional clues about what the redesigned civilian Charger will look like when it hits the road later this year, Car and Driver noted. A police-spec photo further confirms the 2011 model will be a stylistic evolution of the current car, the magazine said. Compared with the outgoing Charger, Car and Driver detects a more pronounced shoulder line, a smoother transition from the haunched rear quarter panel to the body side, and a bit less fender gap above the rear wheels, the magazine reported. Police departments can start ordering the all-new 2011 Dodge Charger Pursuit in September, the Detroit News said. The new cop car is based on the completely redesigned 2011 Charger. The Dodge Pursuit is rear-drive, which many police forces prefer, the newspaper said. The Charger Pursuit has been modified for police duty, and includes things like heavyduty anti-lock brakes, front and rear stabilizer bars, a two-mode police-specific stability control system and 18-inch performance tires on steel wheels, Autoblog.com said. Jalopnik.com said that the original Dodge Charger Pursuit is an aggressive, V8-powered "hound dog menacing criminals and speeders from Bangor to Burbank." The redesign shows off the new Charger's "meaner grill work and a two-tone getup" highlighting the new character lines aft of the front doors, Jalopnik.com said.

Reviewers like Dodge Caliber upgrades
August 27, 2010
The Dodge Caliber was a "pioneering example" of the small-tall car in the economy segment and offers the "best blend of horsepower and fuel economy," ScrippsNews reviewer Richard Williamson wrote. "Caliber really crossed categories in ways that other entry-level cars did not," Williamson said. The article said the Caliber stands-out in styling, versatility and its combination of power and fuel economy. New Orleans Times Picayune reviewer James Gaffney said the budget-minded Caliber has many features to appeal to the "midcareer demographic." Gaffney said upgraded fabric and overall front-seat comfort makes the Caliber a good choice for long-distance drives. The review cites additional creature comforts such as "cruise control, remote keyless entry, automatic door locks, airbags up the wazoo, ABS, tire pressure monitoring, power windows, illuminated cup holders, tilt steering column, rear 60/40 split reclining seats, 17-inch aluminum wheels, power heated mirrors and halogen headlamps."

New 2011 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited Feature All-new Interior and Premium, Body-color, Removable Hard Top
Auburn Hills, Mich. , Aug 19, 2010 -
Chrysler Group LLC released images of the new 2011 Jeep® Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited. Jeep continues to refine the successful Wrangler formula by combining its legendary, benchmark capability with an all-new interior that delivers rich styling with significantly upgraded touch surfaces, occupant comfort and versatility, and a premium appearance courtesy of an all-new body-color hard top for the popular Sahara model.
New 2011 Jeep Wrangler interior highlights include a redesigned instrument panel and new storage areas with improved ergonomics and upgraded materials. A new lockable console and upgraded door armrest areas boast comfortable touch points, while a redesigned center stack is easier to reach and operate. Heated, power mirrors are now available, and drivers and passengers will enjoy enhanced visibility courtesy of larger rear windows.
All-new steering-wheel controls allow the driver to operate the radio, cruise control, hands-free phone and other vehicle functions while keeping hands on the wheel. A new USB device interface connects to storage devices (thumb drives and most MP3 players) for use with the vehicle's Media Center, which now includes streaming Bluetooth audio. Twelve-volt accessory outlets have been added and a new 110-volt outlet is available to provide power similar to AC outlets in the home.
In line with traditional Jeep design, hex-head bolts are utilized throughout the interior, and are used to mount a "Jeep, Since 1941" inlay onto the new passenger grab handle. Jeep engineers increased acoustical treatment in the 2011 Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited, resulting in significantly reduced interior noise.
To provide a more premium appearance, the 2011 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited Sahara models boast an all-new, premium, body-color hard top.
Several new Jeep Wrangler colors are available for 2011, including Detonator Yellow, Deep Cherry Red, Sahara Tan, Cosmos Blue and Bright White.
Production of the new 2011 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited began earlier this week at the Toledo Assembly Complex in Toledo, Ohio.
