Chrysler stole the show in Beijing with some new concepts celebrating the year of the dragon. The Chrysler 300 Yuri and Jeep Wrangler "Dragon" concepts were completely blacked out, highlighting their stylish design and raw power. What do you think so far?
With 2012 being the Year of the Dragon, Jeep decided to wrap one of its iconic Wranglers around a dragon theme. Although it’s strictly a design concept, Jeep says the vehicle could be put into production if consumers show enough of a demand for it.
The concept is based on a China-market Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, painted black with a body-colour three-piece hardtop. Several bronze-gold details are added to the exterior, from the 18-inch alloy wheels to the engine cover and bolts for the fuel filler door. Bronze-gold is a colour typically associated with dragons.
There is also a dragon decal that starts on the hood and runs down the driver’s side of the vehicle up to the passenger door. Much of the exterior gets blacked-out details, from black painted fenders and a gloss-black appliqué on the front bumper, to a black-finish LED exterior lighting package that features aftermarket projector headlamps, fog lamps, turn lamps and tail lamps.

Not only is the Altitude built to last, but it comes with all the prestige of its predecessors. With only 4,500 units built, you will have to get your hands on one quick!
Jeep brand continued its market focused practice of offering limited editions of special interest to Jeep enthusiasts across the Jeep line off road sport vehicles by introducing a Wrangler Unlimited version of their new Altitude Series of Jeeps with a marked “urban” look.
Jeep, responding to Wrangler enthusiasts’ continued desire for limited edition vehicles on the heels of the popular Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty: MW3 and Arctic models, decided to add the Unlimited Altitude to Wrangler.
With the number of Jeep Wranglers we see in Centraol Texas and around Austin, this limited edition Wrangler Unlimited Altitude should be attractive to Texas enthusiasts.

They Chrysler 300 is a beautiful car for anyone looking to bring a little more class to their commute. But it is also an excellent car for performance, and gets an excellent gas mileage of 31 mpg highway/ 19 mpg city. It allows for several options ranging from changing the interior, all the trims, technology, engine, and even sound system. Take a look!
A full-size sedan, the 2012 Chrysler 300 meets all the criteria for class and then some: an excellent ride, quiet on the inside, and an engine that takes the road with ease.
This year's 300 is the 2011 overhaul, but with added features, such as a new transmission option and an all wheel drive choice. Its direct competition includes the Buick LaCrosse, Volkswagen Passat, Ford Taurus, Cadillac CTS, and in some cases the Dodge Charger, depending on trim level choice.
There are plenty of trim choices on the 300; seven, in fact, from the base to the Limited, 300S V6, 300C, 300S V8, 300C Luxury Series and SRT8. All are full-size sedans.

The 2012 New York Auto Show had many excellent vehicles, but the Chrysler SRT Viper stole the show. Chrysler announced the comeback of the legendary car to the show while showing off its new design, upgraded style and performance. With each Viper being built by hand in Detroit, many are excited to see the new design roll out to the streets.
The 2013 Viper, introduced at the New York Auto Show this week, is the fifth generation of the iconic two-seater, which first went on sale as the Dodge Viper in 1992. More important, it's the first Viper since Chrysler shut down production of the sports car in 2010. At that time, the company was emerging from bankruptcy protection and needed to focus on improving high volume, bread-and-butter products like the Sebring sedan and Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Ralph Gilles, the president and CEO of Chrysler's Street and Racing Technology team -- or SRT -- said uncertainty about the Viper's future was "gut-wrenching." The company decided to revive the Viper as its fortunes changed and sales rose. Chrysler earned $183 million last year, its first annual profit since 1997.
"The launch of the 2013 Viper proves that we simply would not let the performance icon of the Chrysler Group die," Gilles said.

The Mighty FC is Jeeps new concept, and an excellent example of how to revitalize early and traditional design with a modern flare. Although it may not the best car for city driving, but it is definitely a head turner for off-roaders and truck enthusiasts. Take a look, what do you think of the design?
The Mighty FC Concept pays homage to the vintage Jeep Forward Control, designed by Brooks Stevens and introduced for 1956. Jeep was a Willys trademark when production began, and a Kaiser-Jeep one, which eventually became American Motors Corporation, when production of the FC ended in 1965.
Seating the driver over the engine provided generous bed dimensions in a shorter vehicle and imparted to the original Forward Control a measure of bulldog toughness and pool-hall cool. The cab-over engine configuration has been used in other homely yet tough vehicles, like the Pinzgauer and Unimog, beloved of a fringe contingent in the collecting community.

It looks like Jeep is about to unveil a pair of new cars at the 45th annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. Chrysler released the above and below concept teasers which leave much to the imagination, and we are excited to see what they have in store.
Last year, Jeep debuted the Mopar JK-8 conversion kit to the world by showing us the VWerks-built JK-8 Independence concept pickup. This year, it looks like Jeep has got something more in mind. We won't know exactly what it is until we get to Moab, but Jeep sent us these preliminary partial-view renderings. See them at the bottom of this post.
We can't tell much from the what's here, but they look interesting. Called the Jeep Mighty FC and J-12, both images look to be clear attempts to recall some past Jeep favorites. It will be interesting to learn what platforms Jeep used to create these concept vehicles and find out if these one-offs may find a spot in a future product lineup.
Jeep and Mopar have a long history together and have allowed their most passion-filled employees to use many of the deep resources available to them to build their play toys for Moab. Originally called the Mopar Underground when it was just a group of guys at the Jeep shop working after hours on their personal projects (which they were going to take to Moab for their personal vacations), Easter Jeep Safari has become something much more legitimate. As a result, we've come to expect some interesting concepts.
