The Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango barely […]

One of three Pentastar concepts powered by some combination of cutting-edge technology, the Chrysler ecoVoyager continues the automaker’s fascination with art-deco by resurrecting the Stout Scarab.

Chrysler is out to convince folks of its green cred here in Detroit, so it’s offering up the Dodge Zeo to the fuel- and emissions-conscious masses. The 2+2 coupe features 64kWh of electric energy that’s sent to the rear wheels via a 268-hp motor. Dodge claims that the 2,650-pound Zeo can amble along for 250 […]

Are we that hard up for news on the 2008 Dodge Challenger that we’ll do a post on one measly new photo of a part of the car we’ve already seen? Uh, yeah, in fact we are, so credit Autoblog reader Glenn who found this new shot on Dodge’s website for the Challenger. It’s slid […]

Inside Line is reporting that Chery will not be building the Dodge Hornet or Demon after all.
