After a concept on the Grand Cherokee unveiled at Houston, Jeep unveils its special editions “Altitude” for the Grand Cherokee, Compass and Patriot.

During his presentation in January, this concept of special series had no name and it was thanks to a competition on the internet it needed to find his name. This is now done, the special edition is called “Altitude” and more of the Grand Cherokee, it will also go to Compass and Patriot. Compared to the concept unveiled at Houston, the Grand Cherokee does not differ Altitude and is still characterized by its black body color and its 20-inch wheels. If the grille is also black, the grid opted for the Platinum Chrome. The bottom light units are also in black which gives a character a little more aggressive vehicle. That black theme is also repeated for the other two models are the Compass and Patriot. The differences lie in two wheels because the vehicles have wheels smaller, respectively 18 and 17 inches. Inside, the various models have leather upholstery but also a steering wheel and a lever speed showing the leather. An audio system with nine speakers also complete the endowment. Available from May in the U.S. concessions, Jeep has not yet specified whether the editions “Altitude” of Grand Cherokee, Compass and Patriot will be marketed in Europe. Expect a starting price of $ 35,595 (€ 26,625) for the Grand Cherokee, $ 22,190 (€ 16,600) for the Compass and $ 20,240 (€ 15,140) for the Patriot.

On theoccasion of a visit by President Barack Obama, Chryslerannounced a new investment plan in its transmission plant in Kokomo , Indiana. $ 843 million will be added to the previous announcements. This should keep 2,250 jobs.

President Barack Obama, accompanied by Vice-President Joe Biden, visited yesterday the transmission plant Chrysler in Kokomo, Indiana. This visit was of course the opportunity to meet employees of the site that particular product for automatic transmissions Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dodge Nitro and Jeep Grand Cherokee.

On the occasion of this visit, Chrysler has announced a new investment plan, 843 million dollars. A sum intended to accommodate production of a new generation of automatic transmissions for front-wheel-drive models, being developed by Chrysler in partnership with ZF. 2250 jobs will be associated with this production.

This new plan follows a first round of $ 343 million and 1,250 new jobs for the production of a new 8-speed automatic transmission, announced a few months ago.

Despite its new name, the Chrysler 200 is not a real new model. This revised version of the Sebring will have the difficult task of handing the mark in the saddle on the disputed segment of mid-range sedans.

Facing it, the 200 has to be done: Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, HyundaiSonata, Kia Optima, Ford Fusion … The bad reputation of the Sebring drove Chrysler has changed its name. A unique approach in a faceliftliving environment. A lift which is particularly heavy in this case, with front and rear fully reviewed. So much so that the profile does not seem to stick with the rest of the car.

His presentation at the show in Los Angeles is also theopportunity to experience the new interior. If the design is far more successful, it is mainly through its materials, which seems much more flattering (and it was really necessary) that change the atmosphere. The general layout of the board is relatively close. And for good reason, the structure remains the same. It retains its appearance with a very flat top rather flat. Like all new models of Chrysler, a blue light is present in storage in the bottom of the front office and in the cup holder console.

New on the shelves next to ChryslerThe sedan upscale 300. Already interview without camouflage through some photos, she can now officially, but partial … The new 300 will be unveiled at the upcoming Detroit show in January 2011.

Within months, Chrysler will have renewed almost its entire range, between genuine new models and simple upgrades. The 300 will be like the Dodge Charger, the second type. The new sedan is indeed largely based on the current model, with significant technical developments and a style revived day inside and outside.

Chrysler now announces the first official pictures, which are only detailed views of the craft. Views consistent with what we have seen a few days ago on photos of a copy in the street without camouflage. Note that the vehicle will retain its name 300C United States. In Europe, it should become a Lancia…

The new 300 will be unveiled at the Detroit show in January 2011 and will turn the Pentastar V6. It will also retain the V8 5.7, which will no longer forward his name HEMI, to appear more politically correct …

After Chrysler and Dodge, it was the turn of Jeep renew its models in 2011. The Jeep Compass will be the first to adopt a new face, as evidenced by recent photos of copies circulated without camouflage in the suburbs of Detroit …

The crossover Compass abandon early next year its current face. It will take a closer look of the new Grand Cherokee with its optical elongated rectangular grille and more integrated. For the rest developments are lighter: drawing house lights, rear bumper … On board, the Compass has changed recently, there is little chance that the changes are important.

The new version will be unveiled at a North American trade shows in the spring, Detroit, Chicago or New York.

It could have been one of the stars of the stand at the SEMA Show, but Chrysler’s Auburn Hills on hand seems to have decided otherwise, here is the Chrysler 300 SRT10 or how to return to shoehorn the big V10in a Viper slot for a small 5.7 or 6.1 L V8!

The 300 SRT10 is built on the basis of a 300C V6 3.5 L 2006 and it is with ingenuity that Derek Ekins was installed under the hood the V10 8.3 L version of the Viper. He used the occasion to give a helping boost since the power of the V10 goes from 500 to 525 hp.

Opportunity for the Chrysler swapped his for a BVA BVM6 Tremec T56 in for more sportiness and dynamism at the speed changes. The work has not only limited to the installation of the engine and gearbox, Derek Ekins called Auto Hotwire staff to review and strengthen the chassis, suspension and brake system (Brembo) Moreover, it was necessary to redo all the electrical wiring of the 300 and it is the people of DC performance that have occurred to adapt the circuit to the motor V10.

In terms of changes, we discover a great new tank installed in the trunk (yes, a V10 8.3 L it consumes a little more than a tiny V6!), new and beautiful alloy wheels Vossen in 2 parts ( VVS078 model), a slightly revised front bumper to help the big engine’s breathing, and key tuning noticeable with smooth flanks, taillights and tinted black dark tinted glazing. Inside, nothing special except the famous Hurst shifter knob with his big ball pool!

The 300 SRT10 (we have already abandoned the name 300C!) Is a very fine achievement in American, a great job showing that should not be much (aesthetically) to make the big sports sedan and endearing!

It may be that success will launch the new Chrysler. The Chrysler 200 is revealed through 3 files, unfortunately the form details. This sedan average size of a Renault Laguna will be thereplacement for the Sebring in the range, a change of name hiding a cover of the current database.

There is a definite inspiration concept car Chrysler 200C EV, dating from the NAIAS 2009. Classic lines but muscular, the design of the trunk away from it, the optics are willing slender, close to a Jaguar XF.

In short, we should be surprised by the revival of Chrysler. The new Town & Country was already feeling good, hope it will be the same for the Chrysler 200 and its future big sister 300, unveiled in a few months.
