Dart named “Most Significant” of show
The 2013 Dodge Dart was honored by AutoWeek as the “Most Significant” new vehicle at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
“Dodge is reentering the crucial small-sedan market with a Fiat-based car that we think drills the target dead center,” declared AutoWeek Executive Editor Bob Gritz-inger.
Autoblog.com editors called Dart one of their “Top Five 2012 Detroit Auto Show De-buts.” The Chrysler Group was missing out by not having a strong player in the booming C segment, but that all changes with the addition of the 2013 Dart, Autoblog reported.
With Alfa Romeo DNA underneath, it could prove to be one of the better-driving com-pact sedans in the market, Autoblog said. Pricing will start just below $16,000, the web-site added.
Kelley Blue Book placed the new Dart on its “Top 10 Cars of the 2012 Detroit Auto Show,” saying that the “soft, roomy, high-tech cabin” of the Dart promises to be a strong selling point.

Dodge, Jeep® earn “Car of the Year” awards
Delivering performance, technology and handling capabilities that are among the world’s best, two Chrysler Group products – the Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8® and the Dodge Charger – earned Winding Road’s “Best Car of the Year Awards,” an annual honor that recognizes the best driver’s vehicles in the market.
“SRT and Dodge are two brands that stand to make 2012 a banner year for driving enthusiasts,” said Seyth Miersma, Editor-In-Chief of Winding Road. “Taking over where the last generation left off (somewhere in the middle of a cloud of smoking tire rubber), the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 manages to be one of the most brutally fast and easy-to-live-with super-SUVs we’ve ever tested.
“Meanwhile, the 2012 Dodge Charger offers more in terms of style, performance, and space than most of the vanilla-flavored competition could dream of,” Miersma said. “With completely different form factors, price points, and audiences, the commonality be-tween these two Best Cars is the way in which they can make their drivers grin.”

2011 Jeep Compass 4x4, Winding Road , July 11

Jeep has gotten a number of things right with the new Compass - we heard more than one passerby mention how handsome the new from tends on this small Jeep, Winding Road said. The big improvement comes in the cabin - more specially, a noticeable increase in refinement, the review said. This is a vehicle that is much quieter on the road, with a more stable ride, especially at higher speeds. The new, three spoke, leather wrapped steering wheel feels genuinely pleasant to use. The leather feels nicely conditioned, and the button placement is both logical and intuitive, the review said. This is a car that is quieter, more comfortable, nicer looking and generally just better to drive than the vehicle it replaces, making it a win in our book, Winding Road said.
