#Trackhawk [Updated]
I thought that a Hellcat version of the Grand Cherokee would be extremely cool. In the days of electric vehicles and "green" cars, it's generally refreshing to know that someone, somewhere is still pushing high performance and big engines. Apparently, someone from Jeep read the post where I compared super-SUVs and decided to pitch the... Continue Reading →
Risky Proposition: FCA to Focus on SUVs and Trucks.
Fiat-Chrysler's CEO, Sergio Marchionne, announced last week that his company will shift their production and sales focus to SUVs and Trucks, more so than their passenger cars. If I could compare this decision to something, it would be like the fictional comic book character, Tony Stark's decision to fall away from Stark Industries focus on... Continue Reading →

2016 Dodge Viper ACR: The Short Throw
The Dodge Viper ACR in previous iterations, was a pretty stout vehicle. The 2016 version not only follows suit with the past, it takes the past and full throttle and then some. This is probably one of a few last hurrahs for the Dodge Viper as it is scheduled to be finished in 2017 and... Continue Reading →
How FCA could become the Leader
So earlier this week, in between taking care of my newborn and watching something on TV, I had another epiphany. The thought was sparked by FCA wanting to still merge with GM, after failed negotiation and how FCA is running the company. I actually like how FCA is taking a different approach than last owners...

Recall: 500k gamer points
The airbag. The one thing that is supposed to protect us while operating a vehicle. With all these recalls FCA, Fiat/Chrysler , seems to be hit the hardest and with the former back to back Motor Trend Truck of the Year Ram, I think I'll buy a Chevy. This recall may not be of GM... Continue Reading →
