Chrysler’s Thank You America Ad is Pissing People Off

Just check out the comments over at Chrysler’s blog. I don’t know, doesn’t seem like such a huge deal to me. What do you think?

Charger Freak Show

The guys over on the LX Forums got a bit worked up about this Charger, spotted by a 13 year old CarDomain member in Indiana, who seems actually seems quite enthusiastic about the car. Apparently, the car is for real—it’s owned by an older guy who tends to get a bit carried away with cheesy [...]

Chrysler Shutting Down For One Month

Now, before anyone gets too alarmed, they normally shut down for two weeks this time of year. But still, it’s not good. And you can probably expect dealers to start marking up Challengers again… Detroit News

Can Detroit Survive?

By Rob Einaudi Editor-in-Chief As the Big Three present their plans Congress (see Kathy's three posts below), the pundits are weighing in. Daniel Howes a the Detroit News thinks the situation is far worse than we thought. Rich Truesdell at Automotive Traveler proposes a three-pronged approach to stabilize the Detroit Three. Ben Mack at Wired thinks the Big Three should become the Medium Two. And the public? The New York Times is reporting that even in Michigan, not everyone wants a...

Chrysler weighs in on their future

By Katherine Helmetag AKA atomicalex Chrysler released their business plan as presented to Congress this morning. Afer reading through Ford's and GM's last night, I'm primed for the third one. It's only fourteen pages—unlike 33 for Ford and 37 for GM. Read up and let us know how you feel about the turn-around that's already in progress at Chrysler.

Caption Contest: Last Week's Winner!

By Rob Einaudi Editor-in-Chief Ok, playing a bit of catch-up here. We got a ton of entries in our November 21 caption contest. We really liked Hyper's "You can take the Subaru out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the Subaru"—but there was no ride page link. So it's going to jac_1988 for "i bet he gets a lot of beaver with that bumper." We'll get back on track and announce the winner of the November 28 caption contest on Thursday, so stay tuned...

Cruising The Oregon Coast In A 2009 Challenger R/T

By Jen Dunnaway Editor Everyone who's driven our 5.7 L hemi Challenger agrees that this car is dying to be out on the open road—with its girth, its power, and its interior visibility issues, this Mopar just isn't very happy in the city. Dugging around in second gear at 30 mph is torture—this car just wants to go! So I picked up my boy Chris and we hit the road for the Oregon coast, one of the most awesome stretches of highway in the world. The Challenger agreed—and once it was out of...

Chevy Malibu Hybrid in the CarDomain Garage

By Rob Einaudi Editor-in-Chief We just got one of these to play with for a week. I'll have a quick post on it tomorrow, but then Ryan will have it through the weekend and early next week (I'll be in California on vacation next week). This is my first time in any Malibu, and I'm reasonably impressed. It's rated at 26/34 mpg, which isn't too bad for such a good sized car. More tomorrow...

Challenger Goes to School

By Rob Einaudi Editor-in-Chief Yesterday Jen and I took the Challenger over to the West Seattle High auto shop to let them poke and prod at it a bit. They put it up on the lift, pulled off a wheel, removed the plastic engine cover and generally salivated over the car. More pics after the jump!

Camaro Convertible Delayed

By Rob Einaudi Editor-in-Chief First Dodge canceled the Challenger convertible, and now it looks like Chevy is gonna delay the Camaro convertible until GM figures out a way to stabilize their financial situation. Which, obviously, sucks. Motor Trend via Jalopnik.

Challenger R/T on Bainbridge Island

By Rob Einaudi Editor-in-Chief For Veterans Day I took the Challenger out for for a little family jaunt around Bainbridge Island. Man, the ferry ain't cheap—$18 to get there and $11 to get back. And I think Bainbridge Island drivers are even slower than Seattle drivers. First of all, you can't go anywhere in the Challenger without being mobbed. In the ferry line. On the ferry. Off the ferry. Mopar guys. Regular guys. People who think it's the new Camaro. People who don't know what it is...

Caption Contest: Um, Last Week's Winner!

By John Coyle Editor Last week, CarDomain's editorial team—and then some!—were all at SEMA, and in all the craziness, I didn't pick a winner. Sorry about that. But there's no time like the present to start making things right, so I'm going to get straight to it. This week's winner is, Robb, who submitted; "This is one Baker Charlie, we have a MVA on Route 30 and Drexler, we're gonna need a tow truck and a wood chipper...  come back." I think you have to read it aloud in a cop voice to get...

CarDomainTV: All Up in the Giovanna Wheels Booth

By John Coyle Editor At the past two SEMAs, the Michelin booth had the biggest collection of cars at the show. But as Rob wrote, Michelin isn't here this year. So which company has the coolest fleet of rides? Well, it's Giovanna Wheels, hands down. Along with a grip of Challengers and GT-Rs, there are multiple Rolls—including a Drophead Coupe—a Murcielago, and a Gallardo. All told, there's at least four million dollars worth of cars in the booth, which is pretty impressive. Company rep...

Corsa Motorsports Le Mans Prototype Car

By Jen Dunnaway Editor After watching Corsa Motorsports' cars run in the Petit Le Mans last month, I was stoked to run across one of them in the Dunlop booth. It's a Zytek LMP1, running in the top class of the series against serious contenders like the TDI Audi R10s. Corsa's cars were supposed to have been ethanol/electric hybrids, running both a 4.5L 90-degree V8 and a 35 kW direct-drive electric motor—but since the electric technology wasn't ready in time for this season's races, they're...
