By Mike Stone What makes the powerful American muscle car so strong today is the fact you can get them for a fraction of what a luxury car is priced. While some say the world is dominated by the German and Japanese cars, when it comes to muscle cars the US started the trend and has some of the biggest muscle car fans. There are always good American cars, but the problem has been options and keeping...

Filed under: Aftermarket , SEMA Show , Ford The rest of the Ford display - Click above for high-res image gallery SEMA is an interesting show. We go in knowing full well that 60-75% of the cars we'll be walking past and/or covering are just trash. Sorry if this bombshell offends anyone, but your Chrysler 300C doesn't need 26-inch hoops, nor seventy gallons of sparkle orange paint. Or diamonds. But,...

What you missed was a bladder-busting 335-slide PowerPoint presentation that we won't soon forget. Fear not, as we've obtained...

We found this photo hidden somewhere between a family portrait of Olivier Francois, head of both Chrysler and Lancia brands, and a picture of the Detroit automaker's nifty new brochures in the presentation slides released by Chrysler at the unveiling of the company's five-year business plan on Wednesday. The slide is titled "Ironically Similar"...

Of all the detailed plans to emerge from the Fiat and Chrysler press conference in Detroit last night, the one that really struck a chord with me was the merging of Chrysler and Lancia. It makes sense, when you think about it. Both are brands with pretensions of grandeur and both have very little impact outside of their home territories. Yet both could easily capitalise by producing cars that have...

Filed under: Chrysler , Dodge , Jeep , Fiat Chrysler LLC has concluded its 7-hour-long marathon presentation of the business plan (read our Live Blog of the event here ) that will see it through the next five years, and what we're left with is a little confusing. It's almost as if the automaker's new executives, amidst apologizing for the company's past and promising to do better in the future, were...

While it was heartening to hear Chrysler's new powertrain chief talk about small and efficient gas and diesel engines this morning, it was far less so to listen and not hear anything about that long-rumored Dodge EV or a line of plug-in hybrids in the 2009-2014 Chrysler product plan that was unwound for us during the day. Under the old, pre-bankruptcy plan, there was to be a Dodge EV in 2010 and a...

FDIC auctions of bank assets are generally pretty nondescript offering office chairs, computer equipment, banged-up file cabinets and other office supplies. But the assets of the bankrupt Community Bank of Nevada includes a 41-foot yacht. The 2005 41' Carver Cockpit motor yacht has cherry wood bulkheads and cabinetry, a wet bar with an ice maker on the deck and twin Volvo 375-horsepower gasoline-powered...

Filed under: Convertible , Sedan , Hatchback , Chrysler Much has been made of Chrysler's apparent lack of new products for the 2010 model year. Suffice it to say, while there are big things in store for Chrysler, they will take at least another year to get into production. For instance, while removing the unsightly strakes from the hood of the unloved Sebring sedan and convertible is a nice gesture,...

Lots of big news in the early evening part of the presentation from the New New Chrysler marathon news session. Click "more" to learn about the new page the Ram brand may be turning and the scoop behind the logo. That's right, they're considering bringing back a unibody truck/car/camino for the Ram brand. Rampage anyone? With Fiat comes Abarth, which is some of the best news all day. A Fiat...

Dodge Zeo8 concept shown at Detroit Auto Show last year could be basis for a new EV in revised Chrysler product lineup under post-bankruptcy recovery plan. If there's anything certain about Chrysler's new 5-year product plan, to be unveiled in a lengthy conference tomorrow, it is that small cars, advanced technology gas engines and at least one electric vehicle all are likely to figure into the automaker's...

Cox, of the 4300 block of West Maypole Avenue, is due to appear in court Wednesday on a charge of aggravated driving under the influence, causing a death, said Tandra Simonton, a spokeswoman...

At the last minute, the Chrysler Sebring and the Dodge Avenger were saved from being discontinued. Last Friday, Chrysler discussed its five-year business plan, which effectively takes back a decision to halt production of these two models.
