Musclecars may obviously not be perceived as environmentally friendly vehicles, especially now that electrified powertrains are starting to gain traction on the market, by choice or by obligation. The Dodge Challenger, the Chevrolet Camaro and the Ford Mustang are most enjoyable with their honking V8 engines, but there are more …

On sale since the 2009 model year, the Journey compact SUV soldiers on largely unchanged for 2018, but keeps its versatility and its affordable price.

Vehicle names come and go, but the good ones, especially the variants, are always remembered. In some cases, they get revived and that's been the case on several occasions for the performance-based Daytona name for the Dodge brand. For 2017, the Daytona name is attached to the Charger, the well-known …

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana – For Tim Kuniskis, head of the Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat and SRT brands for the Italian-American manufacturer FCA, it couldn’t be simpler.
