  • U.S.-spec 2011 Fiat 500 Sport

    The new Fiat 500 and about a half dozen other vehicles, either all-new or refreshed, will be on display at Chrysler's 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show stand, and they'll all be unveiled both live at the show and live, via webcast, on the Internet. In addition to the pint-sized Fiat, the Chrysler 200, Dodge Charger, Dodge Avenger, Chrysler Town & Country, and several other models will be on display. Chrysler's corporate operation has split the new-model bonanza into three separate brand-specific conferences, all to be found at the links below, one each for Fiat, Dodge, and Chrysler. We'll be...

    2011 Chrysler 200 Priced: Starts From $19,995

    The Sebring name has died a quiet death, and few will miss it. In its place comes the 2011 Chrysler 200, a similar but better-looking take on the same segment, and a car Chrysler promises will be much-improved. It's certainly priced to compete, starting from $19,995 including the $750 destination...

    2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee May Spawn SUVs For Alfa Romeo, Maserati

    Apart from its extensive North American distribution network and production base, Chrysler doesn’t have much to offer its new strategic partner Fiat--especially when it comes to actual product. There is the new Pentastar V-6 engine as well as the Chrysler 300C’s LX rear-wheel drive...

    2010 Los Angeles Auto Show Preview: 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible

    The 2011 Chrysler 200 sedan just poked its face into the wild a couple of weeks ago, and already the drop-top variant is expected to come along in just over two more weeks at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show. The model was announced as one of the many debuts scheduled for the show. Though the new 200...

    Video: Chrysler, Mopar Prepare 35-Vehicle SEMA Onslaught

    SEMA is known as the yearly outlet for most things automotive and extreme, but this year, Mopar is taking it over the top with 35 vehicles. Stars in the lineup include a 2011 RedLine Dodge Charger, a custom 2011 Dodge Durango, and a heavily modded 2010 Fiat 500 from Europe. The 2011 RedLine Dodge...

  • Chrysler Pentastar V-6 engine

    Chrysler is revamping its powertrain lineup with technology the automaker claims will help contribute to an overall fuel efficiency improvement of more than 25 percent during the 2010-2014 period. In fact, by 2014, more than 80 percent of Chrysler’s current powertrain lineup will have undergone a complete makeover. One of the highlights of Chrysler's high efficiency powertrain lineup is the all-new Pentastar V-6 engine, currently available in the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and soon the 2011 Dodge Challenger as well. But the current 3.6-liter mill is just the first of a family of engines...

    Full Story On Viper-Powered Chrysler 300 SRT10

    It's hard to beat American muscle for hauling tail in a straight line and one of the best in the business is Chrysler’s Street and Racing Technology division, or SRT for short. The Chrysler go-fast division has built some memorable cars in the past, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, one...

    Chrysler Begins Appointing Fiat Dealers

    The Fiat 500 is due to begin sales here in the U.S. by the end of the year, and Chrysler is now beginning to choose the dealers that will get the car--and represent Fiat in the U.S. The choices made will be critical, as Fiat's reputation from its last run in the U.S. isn't exactly stellar. The...

  • Seth Rogen with Black Beauty (a Chrysler Imperial) from THE GREEN HORNET
    Black Beauty Builds Buzz For Green Hornet On National Tour

    In January of 2011, Sony will release The Green Hornet, starring a leaner, meaner Seth Rogen and one very fine Chrysler Imperial that is not so different from the one that Jon Hamm drove on Mad Men, except Seth's has guns. Big ones. If you're familiar with the Green Hornet storyline, you know...

    2011 Chrysler 200 Preview

    When the Chrysler 200C EV made its debut at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, the automotive world was at once shocked by the attractive design and pessimistic about its then-electric drivetrain. While we don't get the 200C EV shown, we do get one much better looking, if still somewhat Sebring-ish, sedan...

    2011 Chrysler 200 Partially Revealed In New Teasers

    Few who've driven the Chrysler Sebring have much in the way of kind words to say about it. A coarse engine, an interior that wouldn't pass muster at Fisher-Price and dated exterior design combine to make a car that's destined for a myriad of "worst of" lists. And Chrysler realizes that, in a big...

  • Out Of Tune Chrysler Sebring Convertible, San Francisco

    Have you ever wondered if you've over-modified your car, crossed some boundary of good taste? Thank goodness, this ain't your car. Yesterday the gang at SportsCarMonitor showed you a homemade Batpod spotted rolling the mean streets of, uh, Palo Alto. Today, also from the streets of San Francisco (sort of), we bring you this abomination, which we nabbed in the heart of SoMa, perpetrating some Saw IV-style horrors on what used to be a Chrysler Sebring convertible. On first look, the maimed Chrysler strikes us with some cool details, like flat-black paint (courtesy Krylon) and those eyelidded...

    On the back of falling sales and a model run that has lasted a decade, Chrysler finally ended production of its retro-styled PT Cruiser on Friday at its Toluca plant in Mexico. Released for the 2000 model year with retro looks and an affordable price, the PT Cruiser immediately became an icon for...

  • Dodge Logo

    Chrysler’s decision last year to separate its Dodge car and truck models into the respective Dodge Car and new Dodge Ram brands meant that the two separate divisions henceforth could focus more directly on their best attributes. By splitting the Dodge Ram brand off, it allowed that division to focus solely on what Dodge already does best: pickups. It also gave the Dodge Car brand the room it needed to start building the new, sportier brand identity that Chrysler management wants to see for Dodge cars. Now, as the Dodge brand continues to redefine itself with new lifestyle packages, new ads...

    Report: Chrysler Revives Nassau Name For Sebring Replacement

    Back in 2007 Chrysler unveiled a stylish four-door coupe concept that it called the Nassau. The concept came packing a screaming 425 horsepower HEMI V-8, a rear-wheel drive layout, and plenty of high-tech amenities. Sadly, the concept car doesn’t have much chance of making production, at least...
