Jeep Resurrecting Grand Wagoneer

Jeep hasn’t used the Grand Wagoneer nameplate in roughly 20 years, but that soon will change. In 2013, the historic moniker will once again return to the Jeep lineup as a luxurious seven-seat SUV. The Wagoneer name was first used in 1963 for the company’s new SJ-platform SUV, and it quickly became a staple of the Jeep portfolio for the years to come. The Grand Wagoneer, which was built from 1984 through 1991 (and briefly in 1993, albeit as a tarted-up Grand Cherokee), provided passengers with luxurious appointments — something Fiat/Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne wants continued when the nameplate is resurrected. “It’s time we gave...

Will the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel come Stateside?

GM is mulling a diesel engine for the Chevy Cruze while Ford has no intention of importing its killer diesel-powered Ranger. So what about Chrysler? They’re giving the European Grand Cherokee a 3.0 liter diesel engine. Could it come here? Scheduled to be unveiled at the Geneva International Auto Show, the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee will make its European debut with a 3.0 liter turbo diesel V6 engine. Chrysler will offer two versions of this oil burner; a “detuned” version with 191 horsepower and 324 ft-lbs of torque, while the big daddy version of this diesel engine has a healthy 241 horsepower and 406 ft-lbs of torque. For those of...

All-New Jeep Grand Cherokee Is Autoweek’s “Best Of The Best”

When Jeep launched the completely redesigned 2011 Grand Cherokee, the company was proud to deliver the most-capable, most luxurious model ever to hit the road—or leave it, for that matter. But it turns out that the new flagship isn’t only the best Grand Cherokee ever, it’s also the “Best of the Best.” Just ask the team at Autoweek, which honored the vehicle with that title in the truck segment of its new-for-2011 award.  But it’s not just noted industry observers like those at Autoweek who are impressed with the Grand Cherokee. Customers across the country continue to make the Jeep a top choice, too, as evidenced by the latest sales...

Chrysler Town & Country: The Best-Selling Minivan In America

With two automakers launching all-new models in 2010, it’s no shock that the minivan segment saw a shakeup in the standings last year—but the final outcome must have been a big surprise for Honda and Toyota. Despite their redesigned products, it was the Chrysler Town & Country that took the sales title, once again reclaiming its crown as the top-selling minivan in the U.S. With two automakers launching all-new models in 2010, it’s no shock that the minivan segment saw a shakeup in the standings last year—but the final outcome must have been a big surprise for Honda and Toyota.

2011 Chrysler 200 Achieves 31 MPG Highway

Chrysler’s refined new entry in the mid-size sedan segment—the 2011 Chrysler 200—has been winning over critics with its fresh and sophisticated good looks, improved powertrains, and premium content, and now the car has something else to offer: An official EPA rating of 31 mpg highway, which goes along with a mark of 20 mpg in city driving. And the 200 reaches those levels thanks to an advanced I4 engine that delivers 173 hp—more horsepower than the four-cylinder motivation found in rivals like the Toyota Camry or Chevrolet Malibu.  But that’s just for starters: The 200 also is available with the Chrysler Group’s innovative new Pentastar...
