The veil has been lifted on the redesigned 2010 Dodge Ram Power Wagon.  Everything from the raked front grill and hood, to the pin striping screams pavement-eating-hippie-hater.  The v8 Hemi is more efficient than it's grandpa from years ago, but that doesn't' mean it will be winning any MPG awards.  Consider this, the 2010 Dodge Ram Power Wagon will be known as one of the most versatile 4x4's ever.

Do you believe the hype?

4WheelOffRoad.com got their hands on one early to do some testing for an upcoming issue.  According to their blog post on the 2010 Power Wagon, it's a worthy contender with lots of promise.  It's bigger, more powerful with 383 horsepower and 400 ft lb of torque, and equipped with a 12,000 lb winch.  Find out if it will walk away with the 4x4 Of The Year Title in the February issue of 4 Wheel Off Road Magazine.

2010 Dodge Ram

Forget your dreams about owning one of the smallest and fastest cars ever created by Dodge.  The 2010 Caliber SRT4 has been discontinued and will not be put back into production in the foreseeable future.

For all intents and purposes the boring line of Dodge Calibers has remained unchanged.  However, the 285hp turbo charged 4 cylinder will not be available as an option.

Yes, I can hear all 4 of you sighing and upset at your chances to own a Dodge Caliber SRT4, so here are some images of SRT4's that will never be.  Seems like it was just yesterday we were reporting on the upcoming 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT 4.

According to the automotive website Jalopnik it looks like the all new 2010 Dodge Durango will be undergoing a facelift.  Personally, I'm thrilled to death, I thought that the latest generation Durango looked like a minivan on steroids, which is not a compliment.  More closely, the 2010 Durango is kind of a jacked up Jeep Cherokee.

Another tall wagon making it's debut by a domestic manufacturer, not my cup of tea, but surely someone wants the 09 Dodge Journey.  For me it's got everything but the wooden panels on the side and reminds me of what my grandparents probably drove in the 70's.  I mean, SUV's were created for a reason, people were tired of either having to buy a station wagon or a mini-van, why are we regressing back to that?

The 09 Dodge Journey is 4 doors with a back hatch, long wheel base, and comes with either a 4 or 6 cylinder power plant.  I guess I understand the concept, get the fuel economy of a car and the versatility of an SUV, but it just doesn't work for me.  And I'm not just speaking of looks, I'm also thinking function, where an SUV comes in handy going you know, off road.  Buyers sacrifice a lot in the name of a few miles per gallon, like ride height, stronger suspension, and a little thing called torque.

Below are pictures of the 09 Dodge Journey, so you can judge for yourself.

Dodge has announced that they will be showing off their latest 2010 Dodge Ram RT in Las Vegas at SEMA.  This redesigned bad boy truck is capable of reaching 0-60 mph in less than 5.6 seconds.  This new speed is realized by way of sleeker aero dynamics, 4.10 gear ratio, and a 5.7 litre Hemi Engine.

The new RAM RT will be featured at SEMA right next to Dodge's recently released Challenger.  With more than 100,000 attendees expected, Las Vegas will be the place to be for new Dodge vehicles.

08 Dodge Challenger

The latest throwback muscle car is from Dodge and it wreaks of muscle, testosterone, and yes is another lady that makes my pants tight.  Dodge even managed to get the colors right and offer a selection to make anyone feel like a badass behind the wheel of the new 425 horsepower monster.  The new 08 Dodge Challenger comes in a very limited quantity of 6,400 units sporting the hemi v-8 engine.  My guess is the limited production is because of this v-8 Challenger only getting 13 miles per gallon.

Hey, if you are purchasing a new Challenger you aren't worried about gas mileage anyways (at $40,000 SRT-8 sticker price), but if you are expect a girlified v-6 Challenger version in 09.

Gruesome 08 Challenger Details

Engine: 6.1-liter V-8 with 425 horsepower, 420 pound-feet of torque.

Transmission: Five-speed automatic.

Speed: 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds.

Gas mileage per gallon: 13 city; 18 highway.

Retail Price: $41,310.

Sorry all you mullet sporting, mustache wearing goons, the manual transmission won't be available until the 09 Challenger comes out this fall.  The way it looks, you better go ahead and get in line and pre-order your 09 Challenger, because these cars are hot.

Personally I don't care how you dress up a large car or a small van, Wagons are just plain ugly. However, in todays economy where gas is sky high and the price of new vehicles rivals some mortgages, they are a smart alternative to the SUV. Wagons have room for kids, groceries, and most have seats that lay down so you can haul wood, ski's, dead bodies, whatever you can image that an SUV which uses more gas could. Perhaps that's why Wagons are making a comeback on eBay.

According to eBay analysis it looks like Wagons priced from $5,000 and up are starting to be big movers. After taking the costs of a new SUV into consideration it's easy to find out why and they can be just as versatile. What do you think Soccer Mom's in the 70's used, there were no Jeep Grand Cherokee's back then.

Is there any question that the new 2008 Dodge Challenger will be a hot item? No, but Jesus Mary and Joseph, a special edition 2008 Challenger sold on eBay for $228,143.43...eeek! Granted, this special edition muscle car features a custom B5 blue paint scheme and comes complete with 2 VIP tickets to the Challenger 500 NASCAR race.

Sound expensive? Don't worry, base model 2008 Challengers will sell in the neighborhood of $38,000, not cheap but a far cry from this eBay sticker. The new SRT8's will come standard with a 5-speed automatic transmission, 6.1L Hemi engine worth 425hp and 420 ft-lbs of torque. I'd assume dealers will be selling these cars well over sticker, considering there will be a short suppy of 6,400 produced the first year.

Dodge is known for the SRT series of vehicles, always being a step above their basic counter parts. Earlier this year Dodge released the Caliber SRT4, with the expected visual stylings, tuning, and attitude you would expect. Think grocery getter on steroids.

The engine compartment of the Caliber SRT4 receives a turbo charged inline 4 cylinder, still capable of 27mpg. In addition, the power is linked up with a 6 speed manual transmission which pushes the 286 hp to the 19" wheels, firmly planted on the ground. The base price of this pocket rocket SRT4 is around $23,000. Sure does look the part though.

If there is any one word to describe the new 2008 Dodge Avenger it would be best phrased by Paris Hilton, 'Hot'. The way it rides, handling, looks, lines, interior and out...simply amazing and a perfect redesign of an old idea. The new size puts it in the ranks of the Toyota Camry, but it's in the lead as far as I'm concerned.

Not only are the looks and suspension upgraded from the Avengers of old, but you also have a plethora of choices for the engine. A 173 beefy 4cyl is available and 2 versions of a v6 that can produce up to 268 horsepower! argh, argh, argh - Tim Allen
