Jeep Wrangler-Wroom Promo With Alonso and Massa

New and upgraded 2011 Jeep Wrangler models will arrive in large numbers to various dealerships this month. The new models include a brand new interior, off-road prowess, new technology, new items, and still retains its affordability.

1) Brand new interior - Jeep has completely revamped the interior of both the Wrangler and the Wrangler Unlimited giving it a more sleek and refined look. Some of the new additions include a new air conditioning vents, revised dash and doors, new cargo compartments, and more.

2) Affordable cost - prices for the Jeep Wrangler models will remain the same as the 2010 models, around the low to mid $20,000 range.

3 Off-road Prowess - The Jeep Wrangler's powerful off-road capabilities are one of the reasons for its many years of ever-growing popularity. Its off-road legacy will continue in the 2011 Wrangler models. The new models come standard with Hill Start Assist, which makes it easier to get moving from rest while heading uphill. An optional feature is the Trailer Sway control, which monitors vehicle movement relative to the driver's intended path.

4) New technology - the Wrangler models will include Bluetooth phone and USB audio connectivity, power-adjustable exterior mirrors, and sound-deadening to make the interior more quiet.

5) All new features - some new features include a new instrument panel, a new steering wheel, a new locking center console and revised door panels. Other exciting new features include available heated leather seats and a new three spoke design. There are also various colors you can choose from now, including Detonator Yellow, Deep Cherry Red, Sahara Tan, Cosmos Blue and Bright White.

We have to admit that we feel for Ferrari's F1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa. As if being forced to wear jokey caps, blouses and t-shirts full of ads, and drive around exclusively in Fiat Group products such as the Abarth 500 wasn't enough of a pain in the behind (a quick look at their bank statements should ease the pain though...), the dynamic duo is now being used to promote the Chrysler Group's offerings such as the Jeep Wrangler.

20-inch rims & 285/50 rubber? While we find these sorts of mods utterly pointless for a thoroughbred 4x4 we’ll secretly admit to liking Startech’s accessories program, available for both short wheelbase and the long wheelbase Wranglers. Beginning with the wheels, Brabus’ Chrysler Group tuning arm offers polished five-spoke, 20-inch Monostar rims with 285/50 on/off tires.

Startech motor engineers are currently developing the SD 4T tuning module for the 2.8-liter (171 cu. in.) common-rail turbodiesel engine along with new sport exhausts available for all engine and body variants of the Jeep. The fully stainless-steel exhausts feature one characteristic oval chrome tailpipe each on the right and left, and produce a more sonorous engine sound, while at the same time promise to optimize power yield.

2011 The Jeep-Compass interior

The Compass' interior is also a maze of hard plastics which includes the aluminum-look surround used for the centre console. The cabin was also made tolerable with the use of the nifty two-toned leather seats that has made the dark interior more subtle. The seats were very comfortable except for the steering column beating down on your knee caps whenever any footwork is required.

Jeep are putting their faith in the Compass attracting a new buyer demographic and a look at the rear three quarters screams Mercedes. The Compass does in fact boast some impressive styling with sharp European lines embraced with Jeep's trademark seven-slot front grill and round headlights. It is without doubt the bravest styled vehicle Jeep have produced in recent years but it works. It also clearly make the statement that time and money have been spent breaking the mould and sending the company down a different road.

2011 The Jeep-Compass

A traditional face of Jeep is worn by the 2010 Jeep Compass. But, this crossover vehicle had faced many problems to get its share of popularity amongst the different kind of offerings. The Jeep Compass doesn't have its own identity as its styling cues and the most efficient four cylinder engine was borrowed from the wagons of sleeker crossovers.

You don't have to worry about getting this car in horrible colors as they are only available in exquisite ones! The colors this car is available in are Steel Blue Metallic, Black, Bright Silver Metallic, Light Khaki Metallic, Marine Blue Pearl, Jeep Green Metallic, Stone White and Inferno Red Crystal Pearl.

2011 The Jeep Wrangler: 4WD 2dr Sport

The second factor which seems to affect how well the Jeep runs is weight - a small, light child often has difficulty getting the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to move properly, add a second child and the problem seems to be eliminated. Maybe, if you don't have a second child adding some additional weight in the rear storage area of the Jeep may have the same effect?

The 2011 Jeep Wrangler ranks 15 out of 24 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 69 published reviews and test drives of the Jeep Wrangler, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

Reviewers love the way the Jeep Wrangler can tackle rugged trails, but hate its clumsy and unrefined road manners.

2011 Jeep Wrangler in Affordable Compact SUVs

Some parents expressed some disappointment that the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon doesn't have proper doors which open and close, but the majority of the kids thought the rugged grab bars "cool" just like the pretend seat belts which encourage good car habits for the future. To the rear you will find a storage area so the kids can pack up a picnic for the long journey ahead. Other parents and kids would like to see more features like a working radio which some other "ride ons" are fitted with.

Exterior highlights include an Islander "Tiki Bob" decal on the hood, blackside steps and Moab 17-inch wheels wrapped in 32-inch tires.

Inside, the Wrangler Islanders get seats in dark gray with Surf Blue inserts, blue stitching and an embroidered Islander "Tiki Bob" logo. Blue stitching has also been added to the leather-wrapped steering wheel while the Mopar rubber floor mats complete the list of upgrades.

Dented Wallets and Square Wheels: The 10 Worst Cars of 2010

In the age of high gas prices, hybrids and everyone supposedly going green like the government would make you think, the 2010 class of cars, SUV's and trucks took another hit this year with depreciation and upkeep costs. Just about all the top companies took a good hit in both categories of big and roomy and the supposedly fuel-efficient compact variety which is not as a big hit to people as many would tell you. Here's a listing of the worst performers of 2010 and vehicles you should avoid. These are not in any specific order. (contributed by Design 911)

Cadillac Escalade - Type: Luxury SUV

It's hard to say really what tipped the "experts" off on this vehicle. It did rank poorly amongst safety and value but the one statistic that really stuck out was this vehicle got top honours for the most stolen vehicle out of everything that's out there. "Pimp My Ride" apparently does not apply here.

Chevrolet Aveo - Type: Compact

The Chevrolet Aveo5 1LT overall value is at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to even more expensive models such as the Volkswagen Golf and Honda Civic. Consumer Reports concludes that "the ride is jittery and noise is constant." . What would you expect from driving something as small as a golf cart?

Chevrolet Colorado - Type: Pickup Truck

This vehicle has been rated poorly in just about in every aspect so I'm not going to waste my time telling you about it because what does matter is the fact that GM is soon doing away with this model as well as the Canyon. So, of course the best medicine would be to stay away from these models.

Dodge Nitro - Type: SUV

The SLT model is just another version of the Jeep Liberty but with lower marks. Consumers complained
how noisy this SUV is and how it lacks agility. There tended to be some sort of body lean which added difficulty for people steering. This would be the equivalent of pushing a baby stroller in gravel.

Ford F-250 - Type: Truck

The 2010 Ford F-250 Lariat was ranked the worst on gas mileage getting on average just 10 mpg. This was a diesel engine model as well. Hate to see how an unleaded version would do. At this bad a rate of miles per gallon, one would think you'd have to get a bank loan just to get back and forth to work every three months.

Jeep Wrangler - Type: SUV

The Unlimited Sahara was the main gripe but Jeep Wrangler overall has plummeted 23% in sales since the beginning of the year. Apparently it does well off-road but fell short when driven on-road. Handling is a challenge with vague steering and low cornering limits. It's reliability was another negative for consumers.

Chrysler Sebring - Type: Midsize

Car experts ridicule this unpopular gem for its cheap interior and poor performance. It is considered the worst midsize car for the money due to the high ownership costs. Its rate of depreciation is almost faster than watching paint dry.

Mercury Mountaineer - Type: SUV

Top honours for worst midsize SUV for the money, the Mountaineer (and its twin, Ford Explorer, which ranked right behind it) is truck-based. So therefore it makes it use more fuel than the competition and not something suited for city and suburban driving. If you live in this type area, the handling may cause a vein to pop out of your forehead as well.See another worst car 2010 here.

2011 All-New Jeep Grand Cherokee Released

Like every other manufacturer selling sport utility vehicles these days, parent Chrysler LLC has seen a huge drop off in Jeep Grand Cherokee sales to the tune of a 48% decrease for July 2008 over the same period in 2007. This unprecedented drop has hit Chrysler the most as the company has long been dependent on trucks and SUVs for the overwhelming majority of their sales.

If you want an off-road vehicle with better fuel economy, consider the Jeep Patriot. It's the least expensive off-roader on the market and provides a 23/28 best-in-class fuel economy rating (when compared only to other off-road SUVs).

2011-2012 New Jeep Grand Cherokee

No vehicle on the market can really match the off-road prowess of a trail-rated Jeep. But if you’re just interested in spending less and can do without the Jeep’s sophisticated off-road systems and swanky cabin, the Nissan Pathfinder and Ford Explorer will save you a few thousand dollars. However, they both have worse fuel economy (unless you wait for the redesigned 2011 Explorer, which will almost certainly net more miles per gallon).

Besides the Wrangler, no other name is best equated with the Jeep brand than Cherokee, a model that has led Jeep for the past twenty-five years. Now called the Grand Cherokee, this award winning SUV appeals to the person who wants luxury as well as off-road capability although the Wrangler is best suited for the trail stomping driver.
