Chronicling the Ever-Changing Automotive Industry
All at once, we have prices for the redesigned Dodge lineup for the 2011 model year. Chrysler put out a press release earlier this week, and I’ve got a breakdown for you, after the jump. Every Dodge has seen a makeover this year, from the Avenger to the Durango.

Ever since Toyota’s massive recalls earlier this year, automakers are skittish when it comes to customer concerns. It no longer takes a long time nor a large amount of complaints before a recall is announced, which is why you see a lot of recall notices here on Road Reality. Chrysler and the NHTSA have released a new recall affecting almost 27,000 2010-2011 model year vehicles due to a faulty power steering hose. Click past the jump for more details and the press release.

Last year, Motor Trend took a 2010 Ford Mustang GT, 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS, and a 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T and compared them.

Click through the jump for more details and my take on it.

The new Dodge Challenger, introduced in 2008 as a 2009 model, is the new-retro car whose looks most resemble its 1970′s original. Apparently, enough people think its appearance still isn’t as musclebound as they’d like. To this end, Chrysler has announced the availability of a factory-installed Performance Appearance Package.

The pictures tell the rest of the story.
