With a design that looks, in part, like a Hot Wheels-influenced retake of a classic Mopar muscle car, today's Dodge Challenger is not only a faithful interpretation of an icon, with Hemi V-8 power under the hood; it's also a modern, comfortable touring coupe inside, with an independent suspension and modern tech features. The 2013 Dodge Challenger...
The Dodge Grand Caravan is part of the original family of minivans. Originated as a concept at Ford, the minivan was rejected by that automaker and found a home at Chrysler. Under Lee Iacocca's leadership, the company introduced the first Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager in the 1984 model year, and the resulting success ensured Chrysler would...
If there's a poster child for the rise of the rugged-lux SUV craze that lasted through the '90s and into the '00s, it's arguably the Jeep Grand Cherokee. While a few models like the Range Rover had already combined tough off-road ability with a luxury-car cabin ambiance and room for five, Jeep hit just exactly the right balance to get Americans to...
The 2013 Dodge Avenger stands out as refreshingly different, design-wise, yet in most other respects it falls woefully short in a class of high-achievers. It's gotten closer to a car worth considering in the crowded mid-size market and farther from just a rental-car mainstay—we'll give it that—but essentially, as we say with the...
The Chrysler Town & Country is the luxury-fitted version of Chrysler's minivan, which the company introduced in 1983. Sold alongside the Dodge Grand Caravan today, the Town & Country has been offered since 1990. While other versions have come and gone--the old Plymouth Voyager, the short-wheelbase Dodge Caravan included--the Town &...
The Dodge Challenger is a two-door muscle car that started as Dodge's answer to the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. Since its introduction, the Challenger has remained true to its roots, its two generations spanning a three-decade hiatus yet still looking, driving and performing much alike. As a muscle car, it's still primarily up against the...
While Jeep has had a tough time finding a sweet spot in the small crossover market for the closely related Compass; while the more straightforward Jeep Patriot, which is about the same size but looks very different, makes better practical sense, hitting the mark for those who want a maneuverable, versatile, easy-parking, and affordable vehicle...
The Jeep Patriot is a compact crossover vehicle with a crisp, boxy look that echoes the old Jeep Cherokee, which went out of production in 2001. Underneath the folded sheetmetal, the Patriot's a close compatriot of the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass, both of which have more hatchback styling cues. Introduced as a 2007 model and given a somewhat...
The current Dodge Charger is a four-door, rear- or all-wheel drive large sedan, though it has been built in many guises over the years. Its main competition is the Ford Taurus, Hyundai Genesis, Nissan Maxima and Chevrolet Impala, though in R/T and SRT8 form it has few direct rivals. Priced from around $25,000 to $40,000, the Charger is available...
The Dodge Journey has been often overlooked by family shoppers, even though it's in the heart of the family market nowadays—including compact crossovers and the most manageably sized mid-size crossovers. It’s too bad, as the Journey is such a well-packaged vehicle with good performance, strong safety, and a lot of features for the...
The Chrysler 300 is a full-size four-door sedan that, depending on powertrain and equipment, can be an alternative to a wide range of large sedans, including the Ford Taurus or Buick Lucerne, or performance-luxury sedans such as the BMW 5-Series or Cadillac STS. Hemi V-8-powered 300C, as well as sporty 300S models are also part of the lineup. The...
The Jeep Compass is a good idea that for much of its existence has lacked the proper execution and details. At once, it's a small but chunky city-friendly hatchback and a light off-roader. But the Compass' busy, 'Jeep modern' styling never quite worked so well, and its noisy engines and sluggish CVTs make its appeal quite limited. Under the skin...
The Dodge Durango is a mid-size to full-size sport-utility vehicle that has over the years evolved quite radically to fit the changing market. Originally a basic, body-on-frame SUV, the Durango has become more passenger-oriented and up to modern standards of safety, tech, and refinement. Alternatives to the Durango through the years have included...
The Jeep Wrangler is truly an American icon—a serious off-road SUV that traces its roots back to World War II. Since its debut in the 1980s, the Wrangler has grown in size and features, but still offers the same basic open-air off-road capability that made it famous. There aren't many direct competitors to the Wrangler, though the Nissan...
The Dodge Avenger is a four-door, mid-size sedan with a companion Chrysler 200 (or Chrysler Sebring) in the corporate stable. But it hasn't always been a sedan, and after the 2013 model year it will likely remain a remnant of another era at Chrysler. The first Dodge Avenger actually was a two-door coupe, built by Dodge and Mitsubishi in the...
