Car Sight

2011 New Dodge Durango. Dodge has designed SUV, seven-passenger quiet ride and handling with grace and serenity that is expected of a modern utility vehicle. Now there is a legitimate choice of V6 that provides a solid mileage. Cabin furnishings, too, now up to par with the competition, and much of the material better than what you'll find in any other family-oriented SUV.

However, Durango has been out of the game for two years, and as Mr. Favre has shown, you can not just waltz back and compete at a high level. Unlike last time, this Durango will compete with the Chevrolet Traverse, now fixtures between three-row crossover SUVs, the Ford Explorer and 2011 awaited. There is a Toyota Highlander and Mazda CX-9, also, that both are worthy rivals.

In this group, 2011 Dodge Durango stands apart as the only SUV that offers a choice of V8 and towing capability bona fide, but not the fastest or the most fuel efficient, and certainly do not have a place to sit roomiest. Yep, way back from retirement will be difficult.

The 2008 Dodge Magnum, which was first introduced in 2005, sits on a Mercedes-Benz designed chassis and suspension. The lines of the magnum resemble the Dodge Charger and the Chrysler 300, but its roofline is more tapered and sloping to give it a look of its own. The exterior has a new grille and more chrome. There are new fog lamps, and the hood shape has also changed to a longer more angular look. The overall appearance of the Magnum is 21st century all the way.

There are a couple of Magnum models to choice from. The all wheel drive, four speed automatic transmission, 2.7 liter, 190 horsepower V-6 or the 3.5 liter, 250 horsepower, V-6 which is available on the SXT model. That model can come with or without all wheel drive. On the basic SE model anti-lock brakes are optional and the electronic security control is optional, but both are standards on the other models. All around airbags are optional. Other standard features include LED lighting in the cup holder area, AM/FM/CD with MP3 hook-up capabilities. Other options are: a filter for interior air flow, heated front seats, dual climate control and a rear view mirror with auto dimming. Crash test results were good according to the government testing
