As part of its reinvention, Chrysler is going through its catalog of vehicles and redesigning or replacing darn near every one of them.  The latest refreshening is going to the 2011 Jeep Patriot, which gets new front and rear bumpers, increased ride height on 4×4 models, and a new interior.  It borrows some details from its bigger brother, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so expect a much nicer interior and refined ride.  Follow the jump for the usual high-resolution pictures.

So, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is upon us.  Redesigned from the ground up, the new Grand Cherokee gets a newer version of the Mercedes-Benz ML chassis, and strapped to that is some rather handsome sheetmetal.  Inside, more soft-touch materials are at hand than before, and the creature comfort count has risen significantly.  I’m looking to get my hands on one for review, so until then, enjoy the details and photos after the jump.

Introducing the Chrysler 200

The Chrysler Sebring started out in the 1990s as a decent mid-sized sedan, with coupe and convertible variants added in.  Nowadays, it’s sales are slow and it’s the butt of many jokes.  Chrysler is looking to change that with the Chrysler 200 mid-sized sedan.  It will be replacing the long-in-the-tooth Sebring probably later this year, since it’s listed as a 2011 model.  Follow the jump for details and a few more teaser photos.

It might’ve had a name change.  It might’ve gone under the Ram brand.  But no, the 2011 Dodge Durango remains a Dodge, and the new model retains its predecessor’s muscle and most of its abilities.  Though it’s now built on a unit-body chassis like the 2011 Ford Explorer, the new Durango can still tow – up to 6,200 lbs with the Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 and 7,400 lbs with the Hemi V8.  Read on for more details and high-resolution pictures.

In an effort to keep Road Reality well-organized, some changes will periodically have to be made.  The first of which is today’ introduction of a new category: Vehicle Redesign.  This change will be made retroactively to posts I feel fit best in it, but for existing posts, they will also stay in the “Hot Car – Upcoming” category, for legacy reasons.
