Dodge Nitro SRT8?!
Chrysler can't seriously be thinking of bringing an SRT8-badged Dodge Nitro to market, can they? Well, if this latest batch of spy photos from the spy shooters at KGP are right, then they are. But they can't be! Seriously. It's inconceivable. We don't care where they found this manufacturer-plated madness (right outside of the Firehouse in downtown Detroit) or what it has slapped on the back (an SRT8 badge), but it's hard to argue with photographic evidence. We'll assume it's an engineer having a little bit of fun or perhaps another media outlet playing around with the cameras. Because seriously — it's got to be that. The other option? It's just too horrible to imagine. Full spy report from KGP after the jump. More » -

Chrysler Group Drops Price On Jeep Liberty To Make It More Of A Square Deal At $20,990
Well, the new 2008 models for Jeep are almost out — and Chrysler Group's released pricing on the newly re-designed and very much Nitro-like Liberty. They've dropped the base price on the 4x2 SUV letting freedom ring in at an MSRP of just $20,990 — $1,270 less than the 2007 model. The 4x4 on the other hand will start in at $22,600 — $1,170 less than the current model. Now up at the high end, the top of the line "Limited" model will go out the door with the 3.7-liter V6 for just $26,785. Not too shabby a price, but I still ain't buying this re-badged Dodge no matter what price incentives they drop atop it. It's just too — umm — something for me. Full press release after the jump.
