Review: 2011 Dodge Durango

Finding Redemption Through Repetition, Groundhog Day Style Two years ago, on a lark, my girlfriend and I clambered aboard a new Dodge Durango Hybrid and motored from Detroit to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to take in the kitschy phenomenon known as Groundhog Day. The idea was to do a combined road trip story and vehicle review, but Chrysler didn't even wait for us to return home before it killed off production of the gas-electric SUV. In fact, it wasn't much more than two months after its initial announcement that production was cancelled at the truck's Delaware plant. Blame ... Read More

    Spy Shots: 2012 Dodge Magnum interior revealed
    1280325540

    We may seen the unadulterated exterior of the The Dodge Magnum/Durango, but so far the interior has eluded spy shooters the world over. No more. For those still debating if or how closely the Dodge SUV copies the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the interiors should make for less of an argument. Materials and details have been updated over previous Dodge ...

    2012 Dodge Durango (or is that Magnum?) revealed on Twitter
    1279812780

    Ah, the magic of the interwebs. Chrysler has yet to officially reveal the 2012 Dodge Durango (which could yet be birthed under the name Magnum), but we've come across this rather nonchalant camera phone photo taken by one of the Twitterati. Judging from the Durango/Magnum spy shots that have come through our hands, the exterior design hasn't changed much ...

    Spy Shots: 2012 Dodge Durango/Magnum caught testing near Chrysler HQ

    Just as Chrysler puts the finishing touches on the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, our spies have captured its platform mate, the 2012 Dodge Durango/Magnum (we still aren't sure what the final name will be), out testing near the company's Auburn Hills, Michigan headquarters. Not much has changed since the last time the new Dodge crossover was spied, but seeing ...

    Spy Shots: 2012 Dodge Durango spotted in swirlies
    1273613460

    The next-generation Dodge (or is that Ram?) Durango (or is that Magnum?) has been spotted yet again now wearing much less camouflage than ever before. Aside from front and rear fascia covers, the vehicles are down to just BMW-style swirly wraps. What is apparent is that the new unibody crossover has adopted a much sleeker look than the previous-generation ...

    Imperfect though it may have been, we kinda miss the Dodge Magnum. Building a low-slung wagon and dropping a Hemi into it took a lot of guts on Chrysler's part. And while it may have been discontinued, it appears to be slated for an encore, albeit in name only. As we reported a couple of weeks back, Chrysler is considering bringing the Magnum nameplate ...

    Spy Photos: 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
    1141138800

    KGP Photography caught these shots of what looks to be a surprisingly muscular 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, likely souped-up to compete with a full slate of new Asian minivans. The lines appear reminiscent of the marque's own Magnum and Durango, losing the overtly-rounded aesthetic that has long been its trademark. With the ...
