At this point, the public should not be caught by surprise at the news that Jay Leno has an extensive car collection.  He’s never been shy of showing off the vast line-up he has accumulated over the years.  Since retiring from the Tonight Show, Leno has been putting out various YouTube videos that put his cars on display, as he did when he was able to get a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.  After taking it for a thorough test-drive, he ended up giving one to a returning vet.  Leno is now planning on premiering a CNBC show titled “Jay Leno’s Garage” in which the host will run for eight episodes.

The shows concept is simple, it will be Jay Leno covering the thing he knows the most about cars.  It will also combine his love and knowledge of cars with his other passion, guest stars.  Each episode will bring on a different celebrity for him to interview and drive around with.

The first episode’s guest-star will be Tim Allen.  The two will be facing off against each other in what is bound to be quite the spectacle.  They will be racing Hellcats against one another.  Can definitely not wait to see that one in action.

Aside from such spectacles as racing around in Hellcats, Leno will also be using the show to highlight classic cars, restoration projects, and various road tests.  It really looks like it is bound to give car lovers something to drool over and Jay Leno is definitely the best choice to do this.

2015 Dodge Challenger - DodgeDealerNY - 02

September was a good month for the Dodge brand.  As a whole, Fiat-Chrysler had an incredibly strong month and kept their sales streak alive.  While Jeep was the biggest winner, Dodge and their vehicle line-up set numerous records for the month.

The Challenger had its best September sales ever.  Sales were up by 26 percent making this its 8th sales record this year.  The muscle car has been one of the biggest hits of the year, aided by an extremely popular Hellcat variant.  The Challenger has always been a mainstay of the muscle car community, but the 2015 model has seemingly re-sparked a love for it amongst new and nostalgic fans.

The other Dodge vehicle that set a record was the Journey. It had its sixth sales record this year with September being the best month it’s ever had.  The Journey remains one of the strongest and more popular mid-size crossovers on the market.

As a whole, Dodge’s sales were up 3 percent in the month of September.

Dodge continues to have a great sales trend.  The new focus on premium performance is paying off for the company.

The 2016 Dodge Charger Pursuit is Here With New UConnect 12.1

2016 Dodge Charger Pursuit

Dodge unveiled their new 2016 Dodge Charger Pursuit today and it will be providing law enforcement with access to top of the line tech to help them out.

While the cops won’t be getting a Hellcat, they will be getting a new Dodge Charger designed to give them all the support they can use.  The biggest feature is an all-new laptop size 12.1-inch touchscreen display.  This will allow the police access to dispatch software, radio, and camera on a screen that can provide a 1024 by 768 pixel display.

Even better for the police officers who will be using this is that the 12.1-inch touchscreen is meant to cut down on the amount of clutter in the front of the police car.  The visual of the massive laptop sitting out in the front seat is going away.  The Uconnect 12.1 allows the officer to have a plug-and-play solution to their mobile computer.  They will now be able to store that in the trunk of the Charger Pursuit, keeping the front of the car less populated with equipment.

The display has even been designed to work with gloves and in more extreme weather conditions, such as a sweltering summer or a harsh winter.

All of these upgrades were made with the help of a 19-member Police Advisory Board.  Dodge and the board worked hand-in-hand to design a new system that could benefit the officers using it.  One of the biggest complaints they sought to answer was to decrease the risk of an officer’s life in a collision by reducing the amount of equipment in the front seat, hence the use of the trunk for clearing out the clutter.
