    Chrysler’s minivans changed the automotive landscape in the 1980s;  the debut of the “magic wagon” created a new vehicle segment that few expected, possibly helping to pave the way for today’s crossover craze.

    With news that the Chrysler 300 is not long for this world , there has been a lot of discussion on the brand’s future. Missing from some of that talk has been former CEO Sergio Marchionne’s tendency to make rapid, perhaps even rash, decisions to respond to the market — and that one of those was...

    According to respected reporter Larry Vellequette at Automotive News, the Chrysler 300 will cease production in 2020, the victim of falling sedan sales and a changing market.

    Allpar readers often ask, why would Dodge drop the Caravan? (The more pedantic ask, why would Dodge drop the Grand Caravan, and why won’t you use the full name?) Today, we found out — based on a graph sent in by a reader, purporting to show the retail sales of all full-size minivans sold in the...

    They are ice skating in Hades again. In a repeat of June 2017, the Dodge Challenger was the best-selling muscle car in August. This time, the advantage was enough to move the Challenger past the Chevrolet Camaro in total sales for the year. 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon While the Ford...
