When the 2013 New York Auto Show opens next week, the 2014 Dodge Durango will be among the big debuts and today – the Chrysler Group has offered up a couple rear end teasers of the refreshed SUV exposing a sexy new lighting setup similar to that found on the Dodge Charger and Dart.

The 2014 SRT Viper TA has stormed onto the scene with improvements that make it the best performing new Viper but the new Time Attack model leaves many wondering whether the TA has been introduced instead of the American Club Racer or if the Viper TA is just the first step towards the new Viper ACR.

The Chrysler Group has issued a short video showing the 2014 Jeep Cherokee in action in some fairly serious offroad settings – clearly showing that this Dodge Dart-based midsized SUV will be every bit as worthy of the “Trail Rated” tag as the rest of the current Jeep lineup.

Yesterday we got a pair of teasers of the Moparized vehicles headed to the 2013 Easter Jeep Safari in Moab Utah and today, the Chrysler Group has pulled back the virtual sheets to show exactly what the offroading enthusiasts in Utah will see starting this weekend.

The 47th annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab Utah is set to begin this weekend and ahead of the massive offroading extravaganza, Mopar has issued teasers of just two of the customized Jeep concept vehicles set to debut at the national Jeep event.

The Chevrolet Camaro did what it has done so frequently over the past three years in February 2013 - posting a high sales figure than the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger – allowing GM’s muscle car to extend its lead over the cross town rivals as the Camaro works on its fourth straight annual sales title.

Jeep lovers in the US have long been calling for a diesel powered Trail Rated SUV and the refreshed 2015 Jeep Wrangler could be the next vehicle from the popular brand to pack diesel power – provided that the new EcoDiesel in the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee is well received by American buyers.

Since the day that the 2013 SRT Viper was introduced last year, there has been speculation that a higher performance ACR model coming and while the arrival of the Viper ACR has been unofficially confirmed next year – the performance capabilities could be limited by Fiat in an effort to avoid competition between the Viper and the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.

Chrysler has expanded a September 2012 recall to remedy a rear axle pinion problem, which concerns 2009 Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen SUVs, 2009 to 2011 Dodge Dakota and 2009 to 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup trucks.

The Chrysler Group has just announced that they will begin offering the 2014 Ram 1500 with a diesel V6 engine – making the Ram brand the first half ton, light duty truck in the American market to pack the power and efficiency of diesel power.

The first production run of the 2013 SRT Viper is nearing an end and all 800 of the new Vipers built have been spoken for with a surprising 80% of those 2013 Viper coupes being fitted with the high performance GTS package but more importantly – SRT boss Ralph Gilles has confirmed that a convertible should be available within the next few years.

Today’s start of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show introduced the world to the new SRT Core packages for the Dodge Challenger SRT8 and the Chrysler 300C SRT8 – a somewhat stripped out package to answer the pleas of prospective SRT buyers who want the go fast goodies but not all of the luxury that comes with all of the SRT models.

The Chrysler Group has long been lead in monthly and annual sales by models like the Ram Trucks, the minivan lineup and the large sedans including the Dodge Charger and the Chrysler 300 but in January 2013, some surprising models found themselves atop the list of the company’s bestselling vehicles.

The Chevrolet Camaro began 2013 in much the same way that it ended 2012 – with a decline in sales compared to the previous year while still moving enough units to be America’s bestselling muscle car.
