DaimlerChrysler’s Dodge division has certainly been making a name for itself during the past decade. No longer in the shadow of Chrysler or a carbon copy of Plymouth, Dodge has its own autos stamped with its own unique personality. The Charger is Dodge’s latest hot model ; what can Dodge do for an encore? Read on for all the exciting details!

Caliber – The compact Neon is dead and a replacement automobile is waiting in the wings by the name of Caliber. Sporting Dodge’s signature crosshair grille, the Caliber resembles a Chrysler Pacifica but it is in the Chrysler PT Cruiser’s size range. This five door wagon-like vehicle features jacked up wheel arches and a sloped roofline that tapers off to a rear hatch spoiler. On demand all wheel drive is anticipated to be one of the vehicle’s options. Built on a Mitsubishi Lancer platform, the Caliber has been intended to go toe-to-toe with the VW Golfing and Mazda 3. The Caliber is predicted to debut in early 2006 as a 2007 model.

Nitro – Dodge gets a tiny SUV, the Nitro which is a rebadged and barely redone Jeep Liberty. As is customary with all up to date Dodges, the Nitro sports the Dodge crosshair grille and unique wheel arches. Everything else about the Nitro is predicted to be almost the same as the Liberty including engine and transmission selections. The Nitro is expected to debut late in 2006.

Charger Coupe – O.K , I am dreaming. So are lots of people who are just itching for Dodge to release a two door version of the awe-inspiring Charger. The word about Charger is this : 1/2 the people like the sedan and the other half are disappointed it wasn’t developed as a coupe. No confirmation has been made, but a coupe may show up in late 2007 joining with [not replacing] the present sedan.

Love Those Vans – Chrysler is nearing the end of the life cycle for the present crop of minivans which still outsells any rival on the market. Stow ‘N Go has been such a favored hit that any redesign will be built around this neat feature. Expect the latest rendition of the Caravan and the Chrysler City and Country to turn up a little time in 2008.

So, there you have it. The division that at one previous point gave us the Aries K and Omni now features the Viper, Ram, Dakota, Durango, and a host of other exciting cars. Dodge fans are pinching themselves wishing that it isn’t all a dream. Well, it is not and the imminent models guarantee to uphold Dodge’s new found place in The Chrysler Group.
