Dodge New Exciting Cars

July 3rd, 2009

If you are a car fan you know that part of the fun of following the market is examining new models as they enter the showroom. There’s just something special about a new car: the smell, the look, the price tag! For some 17,000,000 Yank drivers a new automobile is in their future, while many others opt for the used car market. Some of the autos on the market today are hot, hot, hot! Let’s take a look at many new and future offerings from Dodge.

Thanks in part to new possession [Daimler Benz purchased the Chrysler Concern in 1998] a fresh infusion of great looking Dodge models have hit a showroom near you. Extra models are shortly to appear and the refresh that Dodge has been receiving is nothing but astonishing. These are some of my favorites:

Magnum - Who said that a station lorry should resemble a family hauler? The Magnum sure doesn’t. With a menacing grille and a rakish exterior, the Magnum is a true man pleaser while also giving girls a bit additional room in the back to haul stuff. Chuck in a Hemi and the Magnum truly rocks!

Charger - O.K , so the new Charger has 4 doors. Well, you can’t have everything. You can have macho looks, a powerful engine, and an automobile that is sure to compete with anything that Japan or Germany throws its way. Word has it that DaimlerChrysler is considering a coupe version. Now, wouldn’t that be cool!

Caliber - Bye, bye Neon. The Neon served Dodge well, but it’s not in the same caliber as the Caliber. Joke intended. To get introduced in Spring 2006 as a 2007 model, the Caliber will have three engine selections : 1.8, 2.0, and 2.4 I4s, a steadily available transaxle, and all wheel drive. In addition, 2.0L diesel engines will be available outside of the North American market - why not here? - as DaimlerChrysler sets to introduce the Dodge name into new markets.

Other Dodge automobiles that are getting noticed include the Ram and Dakota pick up trucks, the Durango SUV and the soon to be introduced Dodge Nitro, the division’s version of the compact Jeep Freedom . Oh, yeah, who could forget the 510-hp V10 Viper? Can you say, Corvette beater?

One word you cannot associate with Dodge anymore is the word, “boring.” Exciting cars, vans, and SUVs for a market craving these kinds of hot automobiles. I guess the “ram” insignia truly does befit the name.

The Dodge Challenger On Steroids

July 3rd, 2009

Blogs, car shows have been hyping up the tenet Dodge Challenger to the point at which you would think the auto is nearly prepared to roll off a DCX production line. To assert that the prototype is being well received is an understatement — quite honestly if the Challenger was available for sale today the list would be many months long. Such is the clamor for a retro vehicle that takes its styling cues right from the ‘71 Challenger.

As it now stands, the car will be built as DaimlerChrysler has given its blessing to the new Challenger. Still, the Challenger is more than 3 years from being manufactured as it is certain to be released some time during 2009 as a 2010 model. Yes, the wait will be hard for most but if the hype equals the performance, then the wait will certainly be worth your while.

Some folk are against the whole retro vehicle revolution. Citing that Detroit must reach back in time to make relevant cars is an affidavit to the each automaker’s woes. On the contrary, I suspect the many revived models now being planned or already on our streets is a clear affidavit to Detroit finally listening to its customers: we need vehicles that are uniquely styled and we’d like them to perform precisely the way you may say they’re going to perform. No fake hood scoops, no heralded model name slapped on a car that pales compared to the first. No, we don’t want you to build the first model we need you to build the original model better. Take the styling cues and run with them and incorporate modern technology to improve on the original design. That is all we ask.

So, just what can enthusiasts expect when they take delivery of their Challenger? Well, like I announced the car is still in the planning stages, but what I have gleaned from assorted sites is the following information:

Modified Platform — If you like the Mercedes based LX platform now used to run the Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum, and Dodge Charger then the LY platform will suit you too. DCX is intending to change the LX platform for its next generation of autos and the LY based Challenger will be one of many autos built on it. Some have advised the LY will be the LX on steroids, whatever that means.

Did Someone Say Hemi? — Every Mopar product of importance will have optional Hemi power and the Challenger is not an exception. Expect a V6 to be standard with the optional Hemi V8 for performance versions of the auto. Some have suggested the the 425 h.p. SRT 6.1L V8 will also be made available for the Challenger.

Ragtop Regalia — Chrysler asserts the Sebring will be its only convertible offering, but that leaves Dodge dealers without a soft top car to market [other than the Viper, of course]. Despite this bit of info, look for a Challenger convertible to show up 1 or 2 years after the car’s debut. Heck, if DCX does not want to build one then O.E.M coach builders will do the job for them. You can bet that Dodge dealers will make these arrangements if DCX doesn’t.

Yes, the Challenger won’t be in new car showrooms any time shortly. For those among us waiting with “baited breath” we’re going to have to console ourselves with the numerous blogs, sites, and auto shows hyping the car. Apart from that, just imagine your shiny new Challenger stopped at a traffic light with a Mustang on one side and a Camaro on the other side….

Reasons For An Electric Car Conversion

July 2nd, 2009

More and more people are trying to find viable ways of saving money.  With so many companies letting employees go and the cost of gas on the rise, this has become a serious challenge.  This has led to the development of the hybrid electric car and while a great idea, buying one of these cars is expensive.  Then, with the size of these cars being so small, they do not work for everyone and they can present a danger in some conditions.

As a part of the electric conversion , people also enjoy saving a tremendous amount of money by doing the conversion themselves and the love diversity in that it works on all cars, but also trucks, vans, and sports utility vehicles, whether running on regular, unleaded, or diesel gasoline.  To complete the conversion process, people need only a few standard tools and a little time.  Then, with this being a completely safe process for the person doing the conversion and there is no damage to the automobile, gas to electric conversion makes perfect sense.  The benefit of using a conversion kit, like the the Build Your Own Elect Auto system, changing a gas powered automobile to run that runs on electricity, the person uses his or her own car, no matter the type, even expensive models such as Mercedes Benz, Volvo, and BMW.

Another kit is the Electricityfor Gas.  Using a kit such as this for converting a gas-powered car into one that runs on electricity, consumers discover that the kits are inexpensive, the information is easy to follow, and the conversion can be completed without the need for special tools.  After the car is done, the person has a high-energy efficient vehicle that is safe, powerful, and one that does not pollute the air.

In addition to this conversion kit being easy to use, it is also affordable, providing everything a person needs to turn a gas powered car into one that runs off electricity.  When people look at the low cost for the product and then compare it with all the benefits associated with the conversion, the electric car wins without trouble.

To complete the conversion, the instructions make it easy.  Once the person that has made all the changes and the car is now ready to run on electricity, the savings will be tremendous, not to mention cleaner air due to fewer emissions.  An electric car can be used for short or long distance trips.  Capable of traveling up to 100 miles without being charged, these cars are a great option for getting around town but for longer trips, the person simply needs to use the battery to recharge.  Additionally, electric cars are capable of traveling up to 50 miles per hour so they can be driven on interstate freeways.

To make the conversion from a gas-powered car to electric even better, people need to take time to learn about rebates and various incentives offered by the Federal government.  Simply put, deciding to convert to an electric car offers a long list of benefits from lower cost, cleaner air, and governmental deductions.

More and more, people want to make a difference in the environment, working to product cleaner air for generations to come.  Converting a gas car to one that runs on electricity accomplishes this goal.  Sure, consumers could visit any number of dealerships to buy a hybrid but they will pay significant money.  Instead, using a kit to complete the conversion is more affordable but the results just as incredible.

Is it Time to Buy a Solid State Drive?

July 2nd, 2009

Since the introduction of Solid State Drives (SSD’s), it has been possible to achieve much faster file access, better shock resistance, and lower noise levels, all in the one package. However, this has come at a price - quite literally. The first SSD’s to market carried a price tag which put them out of reach of the average consumer. The capacities were also quite limited when compared to HDD’s. The high prices which early adopters of new technology have to pay, reduce over a period of time to a level where most users are willing to pay the asking price. A kind of virtuous circle ensues. Lower prices and better features attract higher sales.Higher sales allow further price reductions as R&D costs are recovered, fabrication plant yields get better and economies of scale kick in. This cycle continues until some kind of equilibrium is reached.

Hard drives are established, reliable and cheap so they are not about to disappear, but there are a few applications where SSD’s have carved themselves a slice of the pie. 2008 was the year the netbook came to prominence. Netbooks can be supplied with SSD’s or HDD’s, but those people choosing one with a HDD are missing out on one of the main selling points of the original netbooks. A long battery life. This is a comparatively slow, cheap, low power machine, so it is somewhat of a paradox to find fast, more expensive relatively new technology being used in this type of entry level computer.

SSD’s are finding a growing market in laptop PC’s. Until the price level falls far enough to justify complete replacement of HDD’s in laptops, small SSD’s have found their way into another niche. Many people now fit a solid state drive to their laptop as a secondary drive which will speed up access times to popular files and reduce the drain on their battery, thus increasing battery life. If the SSD contains the operating system and application software, both of which require mainly read access, an improvement in response times will be noticed. Data files can remain on the HDD.

Users who have carputers are also likely to to be early adopters as the prices come down. There are 2 main factors which have a big affect on carputers, but which can be ignored for home PC’s. They are subjected to vibrations, jolts and sudden acceleration/deceleration forces every day. Few of us are lucky enough to live in places where the roads are as free from humps and potholes as we would wish. This can seriously limit the life of a HDD and can make the additional cost of an SSD worth considering. It is also important for carputers to have a low power consumption and here, SSD’s win hands down over HDD’s. (SSD or HDD?)

So - will 2009 be the year when SSD sales outnumber HDD sales? It may happen, but I’m not sure it will happen this year. However, I’m convinced it will happen within the next few years. HDD manufacturers have increased both size and speed at a breathtaking rate since IBM first launched the hard disk over 50 years ago. However this rate of change cannot go on indefinitely. SSD’s by comparison have only attracted the developers attention relatively recently, and we can look forward to massive improvements in the years to come.
