2011 vw beetle

Volkswagen is whipping the covers off the 2012 Beetle this week, with simultaneous presentations at the New York and Shanghai auto shows and an invite-only event near VW headquarters in Berlin.

The two-door hatchback, planned for North American sale beginning in September, continues with the retro-inspired appearance of its direct predecessor. The separate fenders have tauter surfacing, crisper feature lines, squarer bumpers, altered detailing and a more rakish roofline.

The look, developed under Volkswagen Group design boss Walter de Silva and VW brand boss Klaus Bischoff, recalls many of the cues revealed on the Ragster concept first wheeled out at the 2005 Detroit auto show.

Among the car's new features are LED daytime running lights, bi-xenon headlamps and larger wheels--the latter of which can be specified up to 19 inches. At 168.4 inches long, 71.2 inches wide and and 58.5 inches tall, the new Beetle is a considerable 6 inches longer and 3.3 inches wider--but a half-inch lower than the outgoing model, which has accounted for more than 1 million sales globally since its introduction in 1998.

Inside, there's a redesigned dashboard that is said to provide the car with a more conventional driving position. The outgoing Beetle was criticized for its deep dashboard, something that imbued it with an upright, MPV-like driving environment.

In a move that will disappoint the flower power generation, the plastic vase has been deleted in favor of new list of optional extras, including satellite navigation (the first time it has been has been made available on the Beetle), a high-end sound system developed with guitar and amplifier manufacturer Fender, keyless access and a glass roof that is claimed to be 80 percent larger than that offered on the previous model.

The engine lineup will be the 2.5-liter five cylinder making 170 hp, the 2.0-liter TDI diesel (140 hp) and the 2.0-liter four-banger (200 hp). Other variants will be offered around the world.

As with its predecessor, the new Beetle will be assembled at Volkswagen's Puebla plant in Mexico alongside the Jetta, with which it shares elements of its front-engine/front-wheel-drive platform. Along with the coupe revealed here, VW is well advanced on a convertible version, which insiders say is likely to make an appearance at the Los Angeles auto show in November.

2010 Dodge Challenger

>> Wednesday, May 25, 2011

The 2010 Dodge Challenger is available as a new, limited edition "Plum Crazy" model. The rest of this retro-styled sporty-car lineup sees no major changes otherwise. Challenger is rear-wheel drive and seats 5. Entry-level SE and mid-line R/T trims continue alongside the flagship SRT8. SE has a 250-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. R/T has 372-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 matched to a 5-speed automatic. A 6-speed manual is available on the R/T, and models so equipped have 376 horsepower. The automatic-transmission version of the R/T has Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System cylinder deactivation. SRT8 has a 425-horsepower 6.1-liter V8 mated to either a 5-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual. All manual-transmission Challengers have a hill-holder clutch that holds the brake for three seconds to aid the driver when launching the vehicle on an incline. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and curtain-side airbags. Keyless engine start is available, along with Chrysler's Uconnect multimedia suite, which can include a wireless cell-phone link, 30-gigabyte hard drive for storing digital music and picture files, and a navigation system. The R/T and SRT8 Plum Crazy have specific paint and trim reminiscent of early-1970s Challengers, which used that color.

2011 Dodge Challenger

Though it's cleverly disguised as an automobile, don't be fooled. The 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 is the world's ultimate portable smoke generator. The fact that it can pull double-duty as a method of transportation is nothing but a quirky side benefit to its purpose in life. Consider it a value-added feature that helps justify its seemingly high $45,000 price tag.

It's really quite ingenious. All that's required to create your own massive plume of thick white smoke is premium-grade gasoline and two 245/45ZR20 tires, both of which are readily available, and both of which are consumed in roughly equal quantities. The actual process of making the smoke-screen is so simple even a caveman could do it. One step: Mash the throttle pedal to the floorboard. Done.

Strangely enough, during our First Drive of the beast, we found out that it's possible to do other things with the Dodge Challenger SRT8 392. For instance, with a modicum of restraint at the specific point at which your right foot comes into contact with the throttle pedal, you can drive the 392 in a straight line. Equally as surprising, at least to those who know anything about classic muscle cars, the Challenger is even capable of traveling in directions other than forward, and for more than 1,320 feet at a time.

We're just as shocked as you.

We decided to borrow one of these weapons of mass (tire) destruction for a week with two goals in mind: to see both how much smoke can be created from one set of tires (or one tank of gasoline, whichever comes first...) and how the most powerful Challenger fulfills the unlikely role of an everyday driver.

Dodge Challenger six-cylinder Car

The Dodge Challenger is the name of three different generations of automobiles marketed by the Dodge division of Chrysler.

The first car that carried the Challenger name was the limited edition 1959 Dodge Silver Challenger. This was a six-cylinder or V-8 model available only in silver paint and only on a two-door body. It came with many extra features at no cost, such as wall-to-wall deep pile carpeting, premium white wall tires and wheel covers, luxury fabrics and upgraded interior and electric windshield wipers.

The first generation Dodge Challenger was a pony car built from 1970 to 1974, using the Chrysler E platform and sharing major components with the Plymouth Barracuda. The second generation, from 1978 to 1983, was a badge engineered Mitsubishi Galant Lambda. The third, and current generation, was introduced in 2008 as a rival to the evolved fifth generation Ford Mustang and the reintroduced fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro.
