I had the chance to drive a few laps at California's Infineon Raceway in the new 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 last week, and while this report will be short (My drive was limited to just a few hot laps), I'll do my best to make it informative. We've already published the details on the...

The 'Cuda. A pony car-turned-muscle car legend born into a brand that's no longer with us: Plymouth. But the fact that its original parent marque is gone doesn't necessarily rule out a return of the 'Cuda as muscle cars like the Challenger, Camaro, and Mustang continue their return to the...

We've already seen a rendering of the new RedLine 2011 Dodge Charger (pictured), and soon we'll see the full car as press conferences are beginning in Las Vegas right now, but here's a video to tide you over, along with a little background on the car from Dodge CEO Ralph Gilles himself. Also...

We've already brought you news about the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 and the 2011 Dodge Challenger V-6, and now we know how much each model will set you back. If you want the Challenger looks but don't need the honkin' V-8, you can pick up a 305-horsepower V-6 SE for a base price of $24,670, and...

With Fiat helmsman Sergio Marchionne at the wheel, things are looking up for Chrysler, with the now-truckless Dodge brand offering up a refreshed Charger, a stronger SRT8 HEMI V-8, and a more luxurious and "sporty" Durango. Today pricing for the rejuvenated Dodge lineup is out, and it looks pretty...

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...

We've known for months now that Dodge would be dropping in a new 6.4-liter (392 cubic-inch) HEMI V-8 for the SRT8 range, but it just went official: the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 will get 470 horsepower, 470 pound-feet of torque, and a special Inaugural Edition limited to just 1,492 cars. The...

Alfa Romeo's Giulietta won't be coming to the U.S. in its native form, but it may be coming in Dodge garb--or at least a Fiat-derived Dodge version of the same platform will be. But we'll have to wait until the end of 2011 to see it. If you're not familiar with the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, it's a...

We've already said that the 2011 Dodge Challenger will have a 305-horsepower V-6 engine. Now we know some more details. The Pentastar V-6 is Chrysler's newest V-6, and it is set to replace most of the current models' V-6s. In the case of the 2011 Challenger, the engine checks in at 3.6 liters. It's...

Chrysler's marketing team has had some hits and some misses over the past year. For a while, Olivier Francois & Co. ran nothing but quirky branding campaigns, featuring the likes of Mikhail Gorbachev and Nelson Mandela cruising in Chrysler vehicles. That made dealers confused and mad, but...

The 2011 Dodge Charger microsite just went live a few minutes ago. In addition to the photos of the car above, the website offers a chance to sign up for email updates and to share the page on Facebook and Twitter. Beyond that, the site doesn't look to be doing much. The 2011 Charger R/T in the...

This is the first glimpse of the new 2011 Dodge Durango's interior, released today by Dodge. The new Durango is being billed as Dodge's foray into the "performance" SUV realm, though it falls a step short of the SRT8 Grand Cherokee in the power department. Inside, the new Durango looks to have...

Dodge has just released these first photos of the 2011 Charger sedan. In a full release, Dodge says the 2011 Dodge Charger "will rev up showrooms during the fourth quarter of 2010." Earlier this year, Chrysler began trickling out some images of its revamped 2011 lineup, including the 2011 Jeep...

Want a little Dodge Viper in your Challenger? Well, Mopar (Chrysler's performance division) has obliged. If you have almost $90K ($85,512 to be exact) you can get the 2011 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak, which has a Viper V-10 under the hood. The 8.4-liter V-10 isn't exactly the same as the engine in...

It's hard to beat American muscle for hauling tail in a straight line, and Mopar's Drag Pak for the Dodge Challenger is among the best out-of-the-box Stock Eliminator/Super Stock configurations you can buy. For 2011, the deal gets even better: Viper V-10 power for just $85,512. Like previous Drag...

Back in July we got our first taste of the 2011 Dodge Challenger's spec sheet, confirming the 6.4-liter HEMI for the SRT8 and putting pricing in the $25,000-$43,000 range. Today, what looks to be an internal dealer document has surfaced, revealing more details--including specific horsepower...

The Dodge Viper died a quick and ignominious death shortly after Fiat partnered with Chrysler, though even then there was talk that the car would be revived for 2012. Now a report from Autoblog says Sergio Marchionne showed the 2012 Viper at a dealer meeting this week. There are essentially no...

Hello readers, I'd like to introduce myself as the new editor of Mustang Blog, Camaro Blog, and Challenger Blog. I come here after helming High Gear Media's Family Car Guide, All Pickup Trucks, and Ford Reports Web sites. Before I joined High Gear Media as a freelance contributor, I worked at...

Chrysler is on a roll with SUV designs, and though the Durango doesn't quite hit the sweet spot the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee does, it's not far off the mark. Sleek, smooth, and modern, the 2011 Durango's look wraps what Dodge is pitching as a "performance-tuned" setup, and does it with three rows...

We all knew the 2011 Dodge Charger would be restyled. Now Chrysler has issued the first factory photo of the new model, decked out in full police pursuit gear. The new styling--the press release actually calls it "sinister"--should neatly toughen up the Dodge Charger's credentials as one of the few...
