Here are some more information for Dodge Jeep:
Starting all the way back in 1934, Dodge built a truck for the US Army that featured the first ever drive train that could be easily shifted from two wheel drive to four wheel, and back again, from within the cab of the truck. At the end of World War II the company saw the opportunity to take a civilian version of their popular military trucks to market.
The Power Wagon was one of the first two production four wheel drive vehicles available to the general public when it hit showrooms in 1946. While Willy's Jeep offered the other option this famous Dodge is considered the first true four wheel drive truck on the market. Up until this point the only production 4x4's were in the mid and heavy weight segments and used for commercial or military purposes. In the 1930's there was an option for private citizens to have their two wheel drive trucks converted to four wheel through various kits and companies however this was not a widespread practice.
The initial Power Wagon model offered to market by the boys at Dodge sported a 230ci flat head six putting out 94 horses, a two speed transfer case (instead of the one speed military version) and a four speed tranny. This first model was rated as a one ton and had a PTO for running add-on equipment and attachments from the front or rear of the vehicle. The model number on this truck was WDX and used a interior trim package and cab that were almost untouched from 1939.
With all the soldiers returning from World War II, it was a popular and profitable model introduction for the car maker. Rather than go through the expensive process of designing a whole new vehicle the company took what they already had and just tweaked it a bit for civilian use. The name for the new vehicle is actually an old one. As new forms of locomotion besides the horse were introduced a wagon that was powered by a motor was called a "power wagon."
The Power Wagon was advertised and marketed as a working truck above all else. This was a truck made to pull and carry loads and to provide power to out of the way places accessed with it's 4x4 drive system. With its rugged construction, PTO and 4x4 capabilities this machine could be used in place of a tractor on the farm and was advertised as such by Dodge in their marketing material. With the introduction in 1949 of a hydraulic kit that was operable from within the cab there was a flood of attachments and add-ons that hit the market. The options were many including several different types of plows, saws, loader scoops, diggers, augers, graders and even a street sweeper.
While the Jeep brand seems to have cornered the American market on all things four wheel drive it was Dodge who invented a practical four wheel drive system all the way back in the 1930's. The Power Wagon was produced in it's initial form from 1946 through 1968 when new safety requirements finally put this famous truck out of production.

The New York Times to Obtain a Dodge Sprinter Plug-in Hybrid
The New York Times is going to be the first on the East Coast of the United States that will receive the first medium-duty plug-in hybrid which is the first of its kind in the New York State. This is part of a commercial fleet performance demonstration and technology evaluation process that is being conducted by DaimlerChrysler.
The van which is a Dodge Sprinter plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is going to be housed at the New York Times printing plant in College Point, Queens. The said van is going to be used to transport New York Times newspapers to The Times’ headquarters in midtown Manhattan and also to different locations in New York area. The van will also be used as a means of transport to The Times’ plant in Edison, N.J.
The Dodge Sprinter plug-in hybrid was a joint venture between DaimlerChrysler, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the New York Power Authority (NYPA), and Con Edison. The partnership was formed to test and assess plug-in hybrid technology in a real driving environment. DaimlerChrysler maker of Jeep vehicles and all its components like Jeep seat covers is the first automaker to test plug-in hybrid technology with the participation of customers within the United States. EPRI research and studies shows that the fleet applications provide the perfect opportunity for initial demonstrations of plug-in hybrids.
According to Tom Lombardo, Vice President, Production, The New York Times, “We are proud that The New York Times is the first major entity in the State of New York with a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle in our fleet. When we were approached by NYPA and DaimlerChrysler, we knew immediately that we wanted to be involved. We are delighted to be supporting the use of clean energy, sustainability and advances in plug-in hybrid technology.”
Randolph S. Price, Vice President for Environment, Health, and Safety, Con Edison said, “Con Edison's research and development group recognizes the potential that hybrid plug-in electric vehicles have to make a profound impact on the environment. Electric vehicles have the potential to dramatically lessen our country's dependence on foreign oil and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As the electric supplier for nine million New Yorkers, Con Edison is on the lookout for new, environmentally friendly applications for the electric grid.”
Plug-in hybrids are vehicles that can operate in all-electric or hybrid mode. They possess larger batteries compared to traditional hybrids which enable them to travel long distances by means only of electricity. The Dodge Sprinter plug-in hybrid has a battery that allows it to travel 20 miles. For short urban routes with a lot of stop-and-go driving the vehicle can function for most of the day with zero-emission. And when in hybrid mode the vehicle performs like a traditional hybrid with improved fuel economy and lower emission that is comparable to a conventional diesel or gasoline vehicle.

Should I buy a Jeep Compass or a Dodge Calibre?
I plan to buy an affordable car. I've narrowed my choice to a Jeep Compass 2007 or a Dodge Calibre 2007. Which is a better buy for the money? What is a reasonable discount to ask for? What strategy should I use to negotiate for a discount? Or, would I have more luck asking for free-bees? I have to buy tomorrow since I'm paying for a rental. Please help. Thanks.
i own a repair shop,and either vehicle is a good choice to buy but i think you would like the jeep compass a lot better,both are good, but i have always liked the jeeps,and the caliber is a really nice vehicle,id have a hard time my self choosing from those two,i have drove a new caliber and they drive really nice,and look good to,and come with some really good features on them,so either one you decide on will be a good choice,i got a feeling you,ll wind up with the jeep compass though,good luck i hope this help,s.
Toyota faces skeptics as incentive luster fades
Buyers were willing to overlook Toyota's safety troubles the last few months thanks to zero-percent financing and other deals, but as the lure of incentives fades, Toyota has a tough job: Winning over consumers who no longer trust the brand.
