2009 Dodge Journey SXT, Part Three

Why you should buy the 2009 Dodge Journey SXT:
You need a mid-level, V6-powered SUV/crossover that looks better than a Toyota Highlander and gets better gas mileage than a Honda Pilot, and it has to have more cargo area than a Nissan Murano but it also needs to cost less than a Ford Edge, and you're okay with having less power than a Saturn Outlook

Why you shouldn't buy this car:
You need a mid-level, V6-powered SUV/crossover that looks worse than a Nissan Murano and gets worse gas mileage than a Honda Pilot, and has less cargo area than a Toyota Highlander and costs more than a Ford Edge, and you want a Saturn Outlook-level of power

2009 Dodge Journey SXT, Part Two

Exterior Design: ***
The 2009 Dodge Journey is without a doubt one of the better looking cars in the Dodge lineup. But, that's not saying much. The sharp profile and muscular fender flares manage to hide the crossover's stubby dimensions while the cheaters on the B- and C-pillars also keep the shorter greenhouse from looking cartoonish (ahem, Nitro). You can't even tell there's an Avenger under there.

Interior Design: **
Ignore the nooks and crannies and the Journey's interior looks as though it was designed in 1998 by someone imaging how cars would look in 2008, sans the holographs. The center console is uncomfortably raked towards the never-ending dash. The gauge cluster consists of three rectangular pods with angled glass that looks cheap and tacked-on. The plastics? Matchbox cars get better stuff. The seats? Just good enough.

Latest by n/a: Taurus X please.. if you had to. I actually really liked the Freestyle I rented a few years ago. The T-X only improves on the good stuff it had. The Journey looks like a journey I'd rather not take. I think more »

2009 Dodge Journey, Part One

With marriage looming, fatherhood has become an ever-increasing possibility, albeit one that is still far enough away that I can justify spending money on myself. When that day does come though, I'd like to think that I'd be the cool dad with the awesome wagon. However, increasingly competent crossovers are starting to look more and more appealing. In that vein, a 2009 Dodge Journey was ordered up for a little bit of testing. I'll skip to the end for those in a hurry: It wouldn't suit me as a car for when I have a family, but it would be nearly ideal if I suddenly became a drug dealer instead.

Latest by n/a: As far as compact SUV's go, I think the Tiguan definitely trumps the Journey.. They are roughly the same price but the Tiguan maintains the high standards of German engineering and performs considerably better overall. The compact come standard with more »

2009 Dodge Challenger Production Details Emerge, You Want A Shaker Hood With That?

It's been almost a full day since we've posted on the 2009 Dodge Challenger, so we assume all of you are getting the shakes. According to our tipster, orders for the new Challenger can be placed starting next month (that's April) with a total of 45,000 initially built. This same source also claims that there will be a total of 40,000 rt/sxt models and 5,000 SRT8's built. Interestingly, the Challenger RT is supposed to get all of the color options and a shaker hood for those that want a classic RT look.
