Original versions of the Viper were available only as stripped down roadsters, and while more creature comforts have been added over the years, including a fully enclosed coupe version, the Viper is still a fairly Spartan vehicle by modern standards.

The latest iteration boasts dramatically improved traction, cornering, and stability, along with a refreshed, more aggressive appearance. Our Viper is dressed in the stunning new Snakeskin Green paint scheme, and is presented with the traditional convertible body style.

2011 Dodge Avenger Strikes Back!

By Matthew Keegan

Dodge hasn't had much success in the midsize sedan arena something it has enjoyed with its full-size Dodge Charger. That shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone given Dodge's reluctance to stay with the same model name from generation to generation.

Model Circus

In the 1980s, the Dodge 600 was succeeded by the Spirit and in the 1990s, the Stratus was the midsize offering until it was replaced by the Avenger in 2008. That Avenger got lost in a sea of competitive models, but for 2011 it appears that Dodge has found the right kind of model for consumer consideration.

And, unlike in times past, the Avenger name will be retained. That's probably good because the outgoing Avenger, although not particularly competitive, had enough going for it to keep Dodge fans happy. With the 2011 model Dodge will finally have a midsize offering to crow about.

True Performance

The biggest changes for this front-wheel-drive Avenger will be found underneath its hood. The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine returns, but it gives up its dated four-speed automatic for a modern six-speed transmission. That will help the Avenger squeeze more mpg out of a car that was getting 30 mpg on the highway in 2010.

The Avenger's optional engines -- a 2.7-liter V-6 and 3.5-liter V-6 are now gone, replaced by the automaker's 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6. That engine has already found its way under the hood of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and will, according to Chrysler, power 13 separate models over the coming years.

Potent V-6

The Pentastar V-6 is rated at 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Significantly, while other midsize models no longer offer a V-6 or minimize its availability in favor of four-cylinder models, Dodge is taking the approach that some customers still want performance. And, with 1.6 million buyers choosing mid-size cars annually, the Avenger will target those customers wanting more.

Other changes for the 2011 Dodge Avenger include the cosmetic. This sedan gains a new grill, hood and headlamps and offers new rear deck treatment. Inside, the Avenger gains a new dash, fresh gauges, nicer materials and sound deadening materials. Soft touch armrests, new heating and cooling outlet units, a three-spoke steering wheel and ambient lighting upgrades are also evident.

Technology Updates

The Dodge Avenger is now better suited to compete on the technology front, offering Bluetooth connectivity, hands-free voice command for cell phones and a larger hard drive capable of downloading 6,700 songs. Today's car shoppers are demanding tech access and the Avenger delivers.

The Avenger also gains new paint color schemes, improved cloth seating, interior color updates and other touches. Place the Avenger next to the Charger and you'll behold a pair of vehicles much more alike than they are different, a logical relationship Dodge hopes will keep you in the Dodge fold for a very long time.

Dodge Durango 2011

La division sport du groupe Chrysler, Dodge, va lancer en Amérique du Nord la nouvelle génération du Durango. Ce grand grand SUV de 7 places est le premier à afficher la nouvelle identité de la marque.

Le Dodge Durango se refait une (sérieuse) beauté. Tout y passe. L'aspect "léger" du précédant modèle est remplacé par un look massif ressemblant dans les grandes lignes à une X5 de chez BMW. Beaucoup plus imposant donc, ce nouveau Durango hérite aussi pour la première fois de la nouvelle identité de la marque. Cela passe par un regard plus acéré, mais aussi par le nouveau logo du constructeur. Sur la calandre, celui-ci perd l'image du bélier et laisse uniquement l'appelation "Dodge". La croix de la calandre est plus épaisse. Sur le volant, le logo reprend cette croix dans une sorte de pentagone avec un fond en nid d'abeille.

Reposant sur plate-forme de la Jeep Grand Cherokee, le nouveau Durango emporte jusqu'à 7 personnes à bord et peut être commandé soit avec un V6 Pentastar de 3,6 litres, ou soit avec un 5.7 V8 HEMI, tous deux associés à une transmission intégrale.

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca

The 2012 Mustang Boss 302 was unveiled this morning at Mazda Raceway Mustang Laguna Seca, and we were at the track bright and early to see it take a lap around the famous race course. Due to some early morning rain, the lap actually never happened (we weren't told and were up at the corkscrew for about an hour waiting in the rain), but we managed to make it down to the pits to catch our first glimpse at the car.

We'll spare you going over the details again - you can see the official press release, photos and video from our post this morning – but what we can bring you are the first live photos of the Mustang Boss 302, including a few of the "Laguna Seca" edition.

Dodge Teases 2011 Charger's Interior

We've already showed you exterior photos of the 2011 Charger, but now Dodge has released the first official [for the scoop, click here] image of the redesigned sedan's interior. As you can see, there's a newly styled, three-spoke steering wheel with the revised Dodge emblem adorning the center, while the door panels and the dashboard are also new. Fresh design aside, Dodge also promises higher quality materials plus improved fit and finish.

You can check out the full gallery and read more about the 2011 Dodge Charger, which should hit dealer lots by the end of this year, in our previous article.

Chrysler rappelle 600 000 véhicules aux USA

Le groupe américain Chrysler va rappeler près de 600 000 véhicules de différents modèles aux Etats-Unis pour plusieurs problèmes techniques, a-t-on constaté lundi sur le site de l'agence de sécurité routière américaine, la NHTSA.

Le site indique que 288 968 Jeep Wrangler des modèles années 2006 à 2010, fabriquées entre le 15 mai 2006 et le 9 août 2010, sont affectées, à cause d'un risque de fuite de liquide hydraulique qui peut causer une perte partielle des capacités de freinage pour la roue concernée, augmentant les risques de collision.

Par ailleurs, 284 831 monospaces Dodge Grand Caravan années 2008 et 2009 et Chrysler Town and Country (Grand Voyager chez nous) fabriqués entre février et septembre 2007 sont rappelés pour un problème de câbles électriques qui peut engendrer un mauvais contact sur les portes coulissantes et un risque d'incendie.

Le site de la NHTSA avait déjà fait part vendredi d'un rappel de Dodge Caliber et Jeep Compass pour des problèmes de pédales d'accélérateurs risquant de se coincer en position basse. 25 336 véhicules modèles année 2007 sont concernés, ayant été fabriqués entre le 7 et le 19 mars 2006.

Les propriétaires concernés seront contactés par Chrysler qui réparera leur véhicule gratuitement. On ignore pour l'instant si la Belgique sera concernée par ces rappels.

Dodge et Jeep rappellent des Caliber et Compass

Le constructeur Dodge a rappelé près de 35 000 Calibers dans le monde pour des problèmes de pédales d'accélération restant coincées en position basse. Jeep va faire de même avec son Compass.

Dodge va rappeler 25 000 Calibers aux Etats-Unis pour le modèle année 2007. Le restant des véhicules concernés se situe au Mexique, au Canada et ailleurs. Des Jeep Compass année 2007 construits entre mars et mai 2006 sont aussi concernés par ce rappel. Pas étonant quand on sait que les Caliber et Compass sont de trés proche cousins.

Les pédales ont été fabriquées par CTS, l'entreprise américaine qui avait déjà fabriqué des pédales touchées par les rappels de véhicules Toyota plus tôt cette année. Le groupe Chrysler, maison-mère de Dodge et Jeep, a néanmoins affirmé que les pédales étaient d'une conception complètement différente et fabriquées avec un outillage différent de celles du rappel Toyota. La NHTSA a ouvert une enquête sur ces problèmes de pédales le 29 avril sur la base de cinq plaintes.

Chrysler estime que les problèmes détectés ne représentent pas de risque élevé pour la sécurité des passagers, mais il a décidé de lancer un rappel par précaution. Le constructeur dit n'avoir eu connaissance d'aucun accident. Chrysler inspectera les véhicules rappelés et remplacera si besoin la pédale d'accélérateur, est-il précisé.

La NHTSA enquête aussi sur d'éventuels problèmes de tapis de sol qui pourraient coincer la pédale d'accélération en position enfoncée dans deux modèles de Ford.

2010 Dodge Sport Cars Viper SRT10 Final Edition

Auburn Hills, Mich., Apr 6, 2010  -  To celebrate the final year of production for the current-generation Dodge Viper, Dodge Sport Car is building a limited production run of just 50 2010 Viper SRT10 "Final Edition" models.

2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 "Final Edition"

The current Dodge Viper that we've all come to know and love is heading to that faraway automotive graveyard in the sky. Fret not – we have it on good authority that all supercars go to heaven. To commemorate the occasion, Chrysler has announced that it will build a limited edition 2010 Viper SRT10 "Final Edition" models with a production run of 50 Viper SRT10 Final Edition models.

The Final Edition Viper Sport Car models will be available in Coupe, Roadster and ACR (American Club Racer) model configurations and each will feature a Graphite Clear Coat body with a painted black center stripe traced in red. Viper Coupe and ACR Final Edition models include a black windshield surround. All Final Edition models carry unique side sill badges.

Inside, each car will get side sill badges along with red accent stitching on the black surfaces, plus red painted halo surrounds on the gauge cluster and bright stainless steel screws in center stack bezel. A numbered plaque will be featured on the shifter bezel and the updates will be finished off with Viper Final Edition floor mats.

Available in Coupe, Roadster and ACR (American Club Racer) model configurations, each Final Edition Viper exterior features a Graphite Clear Coat body with a painted black center stripe traced in red. Viper Coupe and ACR Final Edition models include a black windshield surround. All Final Edition models carry unique side sill badges.

The black interior features custom red accent stitching, red painted halo surrounds on the gauge cluster and bright stainless steel screws in center stack bezel. A numbered dash plaque (1-50) is located on the shifter bezel just above the unique Viper Final Edition floor mats.

All Viper Final Edition Coupe and Roadster models will wear six-spoke wheels painted in Anthracite, while ACR models will come with five-spoke Sidewinder wheels in black.

Mechanically, there are no changes to the Final Edition Viper. The beasty sports car retains its standard 8.4-liter V-10 engine, producing 600 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That means all Final Edition models will rocket from 0 to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds, while being able to hit a top speed of 202 mph. Production of the Viper Final Edition will begin this summer, with just 20 coupes, 18 roadsters, and 12 ACRs being produced. Despite not having pricing information available yet, if you want one, you better get your order in quick.

Dodge will build 20 Final Edition Coupes, 18 Roadsters and just 12 ACRs, each dipped in a bath of Graphite Clear Coat with a black center stripe that's outlined in red. Coupes and ACRs will also get a black windshield surround that the Roadster does without. Capping off the exterior are anthracite six-spoke wheels for the Coupe and Roadster and black Sidewinder wheels for the ACR.

Production of the 2010 Dodge Viper Final Edition models is scheduled to begin in early summer.
