Two Chrysler Group LLC vehicles are on AutoPacific's 2009 Ideal Vehicle list. According to the survey released today, owners of the Jeep(R) Liberty and Dodge Challenger say they are driving a vehicle that meets, or even exceeds, their expectations, meaning those vehicles are perfect just the way they are.
"We are very pleased that the Jeep Liberty and Dodge Challenger have won high praise from their owners. In fact, this is the second year in a row the Jeep Liberty has earned this honor," said Doug Betts, Senior Vice President - Quality, Chrysler Group LLC. "
For the second year in a row, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon has been awarded Best Off-Road Vehicle in 2009 by Overlander magazine during their recent 4WD Awards.
Jeep’s ultimate off-road rig, the Wrangler Rubicon model features all necessary hardware to conquer some of the most extreme trails, right out of the box.

With the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee reveal at the New York Auto Show today, Chrysler also introduced its new V-6 engine. Named "Pentastar," appropriately enough, the 3.6L engine uses double-overhead camshafts, coil-on-plug ignition, and runs on regular and E85 fuels without degradation to performance or economy, according to Chrysler.
In the Grand Cherokee, the V-6 produces 280 horsepower 6400 rpm and 260 lb.-ft. of torque at 4800 rpm. Chrysler says 90% of peak torque is available from 1600 to 6400 rpm. The V-6 will reach... [Read More]
One of the big stories coming out of Aprils New York Auto Show was the unveiling of Chryslers 2011 Grand Cherokee, scheduled to go on sale next spring.
The date may be pushed back now that Chrysler has filed for Chapter 11 protection as it reorganizes. But its an important coming event.
That Grand Cherokee launch is the biggest product event on the Chrysler horizon before it starts to introduce vehicles produced as part of its alliance with Fiat. Ironically, the new vehicle is built on a chassis shared with the Mercedes M-Class vehicles, a project that began in the... [Read More]
Chrysler is planning to reopen most of its factories by the end of June. Decisions on which plants will open, and when, will not be made until the new Fiat-controlled company emerges from bankruptcy, which is expected as early as Friday, a Chrysler spokesperson said.
"The majority of plants will come up last week of June," said Steven Landry, executive vice president of North America sales, service and parts in a conference call with reporters to discuss the company's May sales numbers.
Separately, a spokesperson for the automaker said the company will open the plants on a case-by-case... [Read More]
Until now, civilians couldn't buy the AEV J8 MILSPEC — the militarized truck-bed-equipped Jeep Wrangler. Now you can. We hit the mud to uncover the government secret on Jeep's pickup truck.
For those unfamiliar, the Jeep J8 is a military-only product, stamped out in Jeep's Toledo assembly plant and shipped to Egypt for final assembly and distribution. It's designed to a durability standard three times that of the civilian version and comes with a built Dana 44 front axle, Dana 60 rear, leaf springs in the rear, pintle hitches, a reinforced frame and body and stripped amenities. The only... [Read More]
