Fiat's Jeep contribution: 2011 Jeep Phoenix

Fiat first entrant into the popular Jeep market will create a while new segment for Jeep. With it's 1.3L engine and ability to get 50 mpg plus, the 2011 Jeep Phoenix will definitely be a change from the norm.

This mini 4x4 will have it's doubters but some rave reviews of the Fiat Panda Cross 4x4, which the Phoenix is based on, points to the Jeep Phoenix becoming accepted as a capable off road vehicle.

I get to see Dodge Challengers on the regular, but this is definitely not an everyday Challenger. This beautiful 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 was built at the Richard Petty garage and painted in the famous Petty Blue. It was recently sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction for $130,000 that goes to charity.

Happy New Year

We're closing the door on another year. I hope everyone had a great 2009 and wish everyone the best in 2010. May you all have a good New Year's Eve with family and friends, and be safe if you're out tonight.

Happy New Year,

Chris
