All you have to do to help charity is bid on this extremely rare badge from the Dodge Journey, which was originally named the Dodge CREW. It's a badge from a car that never existed! Just be the highest bidder, send the check to charity and Priddy & Co. will do the rest. Oh yeah, tell her you're a Jalopnik reader and she might even throw in one of her famous purple pens (it's our most treasured possession). Full details from Brenda below the jump: More »

Set to be unveiled at next month's Frankfurt Auto Show, the Dodge Journey represents the newest assault by the Dodge brand on the global sensibilities MPV market. The Journey's a crossover that "evokes the capable look associated with SUVs" yet still manages to be built on the Dodge Avenger platform, albeit lengthened by 4.9 inches. Designed for sale as a 2009 model-year vehicle in both the US market as well as worldwide, the Journey will hit our highways in both a five-passenger and 5+2 seating in the first quarter of 2008, and hit cobblestone streets across the pond in both left-hand and right-hand drive starting in mid-2008. Check out the full press release and a short video on the Journey below the jump to find out exactly how this egg-mobile's going to change your life by letting you "Grab Life" — and then Flip 'N Stow™ it. We couldn't stop believing the utility of it either. Sorry, had to drop the "Journey" reference in there. Look on the bright side — at least we didn't just cut to black like at the end of...

Whereas last time they got us some great shots of the overall exterior, this time it's all about the interior and the taillights of the new crossover, originally called JC49, first anticipated to be seen in the Euro market. Here's what KGP has to say:
The dashboard design looks quite underwhelming, although we would guess that this prototype isn't finished in its final production plastics. At least we hope that's the case. The three-pod layout to the guage package looks a bit retro. The overall equipment level of this prototype seems pretty basic—not necessarily a bad thing, however, in a world of overly complex driver interfaces...

True, it's just sans black leather chaps on the doors, roof and grille, but it's most assuredly the new "top-secret" crossover. Sources close to the Dodge division have called it the "Crew," but we do know the codename — JC49. After the jump, we've got what we've been told by spy photog Brenda Priddy about the "Crew" spotted in these new Chris Doane-snapped shots: More »

We've no idea, but we do know the site all about the Mopar-love claim to have the scoop, being the first to buy the Priddy pics. Here's what they're saying about what Priddy's spy shooter saw:
"The top photo is from a "blind" drive clinic in Southern California; it shows the JC49 to be built in Toluca, based on the Chrysler Sebring platform, with production scheduled for December 2007. Chrysler may eventually get a version of this vehicle, which might or might not be called the PT Cruiser; it's scheduled for about 25% of the production total, and would have completely different sheet metal..."
