Dodge Nitro
It’s rare to see an angular vehicle draw so much attention, and yet the Dodge Nitro is a roaring success. Just as Dodge is unveiling several new products and features for 2011, the Nitro is showing off a plush interior with superior trim and leather. Comfort has also been improved. While the vehicle is available only as a 4x4, it offers a choice of V6 engines: a 3.7-litre producing 210 horsepower and a 4.0-litre generating 260 horsepower.
