2010 Dodge Charger design study
Michael Leonhard, a self-proclaimed car stylist, has created his own take on what a future Dodge Charger may look like. While the current production Charger is far from old, there should be a replacement or refresh launching in around four of five years, and Leonhard’s design study gives us an idea of what it could look like if Chrysler’s design team had unrestricted license to create the car however they wished. Leonhard, who hails from Austria, has said that the starting point for his...

Dodge Viper ACR
 The Viper ACR will do that to you. There is nothing "halfway" about this car. Mind you, I’ve never loved the regular Viper. Sure, the power is sensational and the chassis wrenches out go-kart moves, but it’s always seemed as if you give up too much in refinement and poise in return for numbers that match or barely exceed those of other supercars.

Dodge Journey R/T crossover emphasizes power, entertainment
A Journey of a thousand miles -- or just up the street -- can begin with a single step into the driver's seat of the new Dodge crossover that bears that name, previously associated with a durable rock band known for "Wheel in the Sky." The musicians merit mention because, if you happen to have their greatest hits on your MP3, you can amp up the apt audio on the Dodge Journey's 368-watt Infinity sound system, deafening your passengers or intimidating your neighbors. Indeed, this 2009 crossover a car in...
