The 2012 Dodge Challenger: High Performance, Retro Style

Glimpse a Dodge Challenger, and thoughts harken back to the 1970s muscle car. The Challenger was a star on America’s fast and furious stage; it earned icon status, thanks to its mighty engine and sleek pony style.

Dodge reinvented the Challenger in 2008, as a larger retro model for those who want style and performance with their nostalgia. Designed with all the power and style of the 1970s, the 2012 Dodge Challenger is loaded with high-tech amenities and modern safety features.

While the new Challenger looks and drives like a muscle car, its turn as a grand touring coupe takes four adults on the road in comfort and ease. Dodge offers three trim levels: SXT, R/T, and SRT8 392.

A 3.6-liter V6 engine powers the Challenger SXT with 305-horsepower. It is backed by a 5-speed automatic transmission, standard equipment in all models. The SXT has a combined fuel economy rating of 21 miles per gallon.

The Challenger R/T generates 376-horsepower with a 5.7-liter V8 engine. This “middle child” is the most popular choice with buyers. The Challenger SRT8 392 is the epitomy of American muscle. The 6.4-liter, V8 engine generates 470-horsepower. A six-speed manual transmission package is an option for these trims.

The distinctive exterior design is unmistakably Dodge Challenger. Its roomy interior enjoys an upscale quality. Alloy wheels, power accessories, cruise and climate controls, CD stereo, and leather trim are standard features. Upgrade packages add numerous options, from audio/navigation features and wireless connectivity packages to high-performance tuning systems and flashy exterior upgrades.

Antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, and a full array of airbags are standard in every 2012 Dodge Challenger, which earned high marks in brake testing.

Sleek, powerful, and fun-to-drive, the Challenger is an all-around contender among sporty, high-performance coupes. Test drive one at Coleman Motors today!

The Urban-Rugged Jeep Compass

The Jeep Compass is a compact, street-friendly and affordable vehicle. The Dodge Caliber and the Compass share the same chassis, making the Compass a crossover.

Five passengers can ride inside the Compass, with all but the driver’s seat able to fold flat to provide additional cargo space if needed. The second row seats can recline back, providing a comfortable place to rest or even sleep. To keep the occupants comfortable during weather changes heated seats and automatic interior temperature control are both available. A display mounted on the Compass’ dash displays information about fuel consumption, compass headings and service alerts. The rear cargo area contains 61.8 cubic feet of space, and includes a detachable and rechargeable LED flashlight.

Jeep offers the Compass with two different engines. A 2.0 liter inline four cylinder engine that produces 158 horsepower comes standard on two-wheel-drive models. A beefier 2.4 liter inline four-cylinder engine produces 172 horsepower. Both engines can be paired with either a five-speed manual transmission, or an automatic continuous variable transmission. Two-wheel-drive models achieve 28 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg in the city, while four-wheel-drive models achieve only 23 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in the city.
