Here are some more information for Plymouth Dodge:
Back during the 1950s through the mid 1970s, Detroit automakers produced several cars that were out and out "muscle" cars. These types of vehicles shared the same characteristics: they were two door coupes with souped up engines, responsive transmissions, an aggressive exterior design, and a sporty interior. High fuel prices and changing tastes eventually limited sales to the point where only a few models were produced beyond that period of time. Today, muscle car mania is back, despite even higher gas prices. Thanks to the Ford Mustang and to a lesser extent to sedan and wagon models from Dodge, there is new interest in a category long given up. The future is bright for the muscle car segment as one more manufacturer, Chevrolet, considers bringing back one of its darlings of yesteryear, the Camaro.
Besides the Ford Mustang there were a whole host of vehicles produced that at one time or another might have been considered a muscle car. In addition to the Mustang, the Ford Fairlane 500 and Ford Torino did duty; the Mercury Montego was another model; Chevrolet produced the Camaro and Corvette; Pontiac the GTO, Firebird, and Tempest; Olds the 442; American Motors' had its Javelin; Plymouth had the 'Cuda, and Dodge produced the Challenger and the Charger. Today, only the Mustang and Corvette survives although the Dodge Charger has returned as a four door muscle car along with its sibling, the hot Dodge Magnum wagon.
Interestedly, it took Ford's redoing of the Mustang for the 2005 model year to stir the current muscle car era craze. Styled after Mustangs built in the 1960s, the current Mustang embraces a retro look while incorporating contemporary technology. The result has been that the Mustang currently sells its entire 150,000 model capacity without incentives.
The Mustang has been inspiring DaimlerChrysler to go ahead with a retro cruiser of its own. The Dodge Challenger concept car, appearing at auto shows across the USA, has been a huge hit and Chrysler plans on bringing the V8 hemi powered model back in 2009. In addition, General Motors is considering giving its blessing on the Camaro, another car also making the rounds of the USA auto show circuit.
So, isn't it silly to bring back such gas hogs? Back during the early 1970s, the then current crop of muscle cars averaged only 10-12 miles to the gallon around town and 15 or 16 miles per gallon on the highway. Thanks to computer technology and efficiency, even the Corvette returns a highly respectable 28 miles to the gallon the highway. So, although fuel mileage will certainly be lower than many other models, the new group of muscle cars will still better the previous generation cars with fuel mileage 80% or more above the cars from the 1970s.
Fortunately, we still live in a fairly free country and what the consumer wants, the consumer gets. So, V8 powered muscle cars mated to 6 speed manu-matic transmissions, with sport handling, bucket seats, and better fuel economy will likely appeal to many. No, they won't be exact duplicates of yesterday's muscle cars, but they will provide the nostalgia and power that motorists seek. I can't wait!

Jeep Commander Suv to Stop Production After 2009 Model Year
Auto industry analysts are seeing a bleak future for the boxy Jeep Commander SUV. They say that production of the hulking Jeep Commander SUV is to stop after 2009 model year. The boxy three row Jeep SUV was introduced a little over a year ago and was built at Chrysler’s Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit.
According to Jeff Schuster, forecasting analyst with California-based J.D. Power and Associates, “We removed the Commander from our forecast after the 2009 model year.” The same forecast was given another automotive analyst who didn’t want to speak on the record. J.D. Power and other auto forecasting firms gather information from suppliers and other industry sources privy to automakers’ future production plans.
The stoppage of the Jeep SUV production was further confirmed when the United Auto Workers official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, confirmed to The Detroit News that the union understands for the Commander to go out of production in 2008 after the 2009 model year.
Rick Deneau spokesman of DaimlerChrysler AG’s Chrysler Group said that the automaker does not discuss the product plans. Chrysler Group, maker and distributor of Plymouth vehicles and Plymouth parts, and includes brands like Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep have lost $1.5 billion in revenue last year and expected to outline an extensive restructuring plan comes February 14.
Another reason for the stoppage of the Commander production according to Schuster is the fact that the Commander is very much similar in size to the Grand Cherokee that was built on the same line at Jefferson North. Plus the fact that, "It didn't bring in different buyers."
Jeep sold 88,497 Commanders in 2006 by offering heavy discounts. The Edmunds web site which is a site for car shoppers has offered an average of $8,000 in incentives on the Commander in the last four months of 2006. The price for the Commander starts around $28,000 and can climb above $40,000.
The Jeep Commander have also toppled the Grand Cherokee in terms of sales last year when it sold 139,148 while the Cherokee which was once one of America’s most popular vehicles was down by 75,000 units.
Erich Merkle, an analyst with IRN Inc. in Grand Rapids said, "It's a logical move to get rid of the Commander given the small incremental sales increases. The Commander has had a dramatic negative impact on the Grand Cherokee." The Commander same with other large SUVs have been affected by the ever changing gas prices and increasing concerns by consumers over gas mileage.
"The product is not moving with consumers and obviously that situation is exacerbated by the continued focus on where gas prices are going to be over the next few years," said Catherine Madden, an analyst with Waltham, Mass.-based Global Insight Inc.
The slow sales of the Commander have resulted to the discontinuing work at the Jefferson North plant for the last four months. And for this month production at Jefferson North is scheduled to be down for three weeks and expected to resume on January 29 as confirmed by union officials. And as for every seven Cherokees that will be produced, three Commanders will be taken off the line.
The Commander is powered by a 4.7 liter V-8 engine and get 15 mpg for city driving and 19mpg for highway driving, that is according to the EPA. According to Merkle, "If your fuel economy is going to be that bad, go for something that's larger and more interior space and a true third row.”
But according to dealers the Commander has been very successful at attracting buyers into showrooms with its roomy interior and third row seats which is considered a first for a Jeep. The only problem that Mike Rhiel of Mike Riehl’s Roseville Chrysler Jeep sees is timing. “That (SUV) was launched when fuel prices went up. It didn't have a fair launch because of fuel prices.” He also further stated that sales could rebound if gas prices are to stay near $2 a gallon. Or "if fuel stays down that (SUV) could get some legs," he said.
