Well, I'm damned happy, being a fan of the Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge lot, this is great!
Especially the new Wrangler! Anyone wanna buy me one? lol
JEEP
2007 sees the launch of the brand new Jeep Wrangler in the usual SWB as well as the new Wrangler LWB joining the range. With vastly improved on-road manners, ABS, Airbags and ESP, the new Wrangler seems set to deliver unrivalled performance in all conditions, certainly so Off the road. The new 2007 Wrangler keeps the familiar Jeep 7slot grill and all in all, looks the same as Wranglers always have done. If it 'aint broke, don't try fix it. Still, it certainly looks fresher and is certainly appealing, especially to me anyway...
Jeep also gives us Brits 2 more new Jeep vehicles, compact SUV with the new Patriot and a new crossover, the Compass. These cars have both been designed to appeal to young customers seeking stylish, compact 4wheel drives with decent fuel economy at affordabe prices. Both the Compass & Patriot are based upon the already well selling Dodge Caliber hatchback platform and will both be offered with a new 2.4litre petrol engine and a frugal 2.0litre diesel.
Chrysler
This year Chysler UK sees the launch of the new Sebring saloon, with the convertable version probably soon to follow suite, formally only available on the other side of the pond the rather plain looking car has been replaced by a far fresher looking model with slight overtones of VolksWagen(see headlights) yet still echoing Chrysler everywhere else.
Dodge
HELL YEAH!!! The fantastic looking Dodge Avenger is making its way to the UK this year, the bold, muscular looking car set to appeal to younger drivers looking fore style and sportiness looking for something a little different. This shows that family cars don't have to be boring.
Also a new Dodge SUV will be joining the ranks this year too, with the launch of the new Nitro, the brands first midsize SUV, probably set to compete with the likes of the recently introduced LandRover FreeLander2, the 5-seater offers bags of room, fantastic, stylish looks and flexible cabin loaded with equipment, standard equipment will include ABS, Airbags, ESP, electric windows all round, CD radio and air-conditioning.
