While some of the Moparized Jeep models making their public debut at the 2011 Easter Jeep Safari on April 16th are production vehicles with a handful of Mopar accessories added to make them even more capable – the Wrangler Blue Crush is an outrageous purpose built vehicle that would be hard pressed the fit in on any public road.

The SUV pictured below is commonly known as the Jeep Liberty to American consumers but to outside of the US, the Liberty is known as the Cherokee so to show a little Mopar love to a non-US model, the 2011 Easter Jeep Safari will introduce the US to the Jeep Cherokee Overland.

Jeep looks to shed the less-than-trail-rated capabilities of the refreshed Compass compact SUV and along with the Grand Cherokee front end for 2011 models, Mopar has added a variety of items to make this the first Compass that will tackle the off-road world of Moab, Utah.

The Jeep Wrangler is known for its off-roading capacities bolstered by its lightweight but when you start adding accessories and optional items, the topless Jeep can get heavy in a hurry so Mopar has “trimmed the fat” with the Wrangler Pork Chop for the 2011 Easter Jeep Safari.

The Jeep Wrangler Renegade headed to the 2011 Easter Jeep Safari looks like a pretty standard production-issue Wrangler but under the hood of this topless Jeep is the 6.4L Hemi from Chrysler’s Street and Racing Technology (SRT) division.

Every year, the Chrysler Corporation sponsors the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah with thousands of hardcore off-roaders coming from around the country to show off their machines and Jeep makes its presence felt each year by bringing out a handful of Mopar-modified models sure to turn heads.

Just as Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) reported March with a 12.6 % sales improvement over March 2010, plus the company's highest March volume and first quarter on record, the company revealed a new concept-class era with the Concept A-Class which makes its debut at both the 2011 New York and Shanghai Auto Shows later this month.

When the Seoul Motor Show opens tomorrow the world will be formally introduced to the futuristic Chevrolet Mi-ray concept but today General Motors offered a preview of the sleek new hybrid roadster.

Set your calendars to yawn – the new eighth-generation Chevrolet Malibu will be introduced live starting at 8:30 p.m. EDT on April 18 on Facebook and live from the Shanghai Auto Show via webcast and not the New York Auto Show as might have happened in the past.

Kia ups its ante in the electric vehicle poker game by introducing a new battery electric concept vehicle at the Seoul Motor Show. Called the Kia Naimo, the new concept has boxy styling reminiscent of the Kia Soul.

Denver Auto Show is the Rocky Mountain resident’s best opportunity to see the cars, trucks, crossovers and SUVs on the market today, despite not getting much national attention.

A while back, Detroit’s Cobo Hall hosted the 2011 Detroit Autorama, offering Motor City show-goers a chance to check out some of the best looking cars from around the area and around the country but amidst the crowd of garage-kept trailer queens, Team Detroit Racing brought out a spread of great looking high performance cars.

Porsche announced earlier this month that that the hybrid version of their popular Panamera sedan was on its way and as the 2011 Geneva Motor Show opened, the Porsche Panamera S Hybrid met the world.

We have known for some time now that the DeTomaso name would be returning to the automotive world and with the start of the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, we know that the new DeTomaso is not called the SLC or SLS as had been previously surmised, but rather the name Deauville has been chosen for this new luxury sedan.
