Chrysler announced today that it is recalling certain Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep models to address defective electronics in head restraints.

For the second month in a row, the Ford Mustang has outsold the Chevrolet Camaro but the huge differential in June 2013 sales between the two American muscle cars has allowed the mighty Mustang to pull into the lead in the battle for the 2013 muscle car sales title – a position claimed by the Camaro in each of the past 3 years.

This past weekend, the Chrysler Group launched the first advertising campaign specifically for the SRT Brand and in fine “go big or go home” fashion – the Street and Racing Technology division hit the airwaves with four versions of the same commercial.

It was announced earlier this year that 500 examples of the Dodge Dart would be transformed into the Mopar 13 with a bevy of factory-featured modifications added from top to bottom and today, Mopar announced that the limited edition Dart-turned-Mopar 13 would carry a price of $26,480 (including a destination fee of $995).

The Ford Mustang did something in May 2013 that it hasn’t done since November 2012 – sell enough units to beat the Chevrolet Camaro and lead the American muscle car segment.

The 2013 Dodge Dart isnt competing with the heavy hitters in the popular C segment just yet but with repeated monthly sales records posted over the past few months, the Chrysler Group has offered up some new special edition packages and a new Rallye Appearance package to help better meet customer demand - and to help keep those sales records coming.

When GMC rolls out the all-new 2014 Sierra fill-size pickup it will come with a new class-leading V6 powerplant. Can the new Sierra finally compete with the Ford F-150?

After receiving two reports of rear suspension system failures that lead to crashes in the Dodge Viper, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation of some 2,500 units of the all American supercar – what could be the first step towards the government requiring the Chrysler Group to recall their high performance machine.

In some non-US markets, the Dodge Dart is sold as the Fiat Viaggio and reports indicate that there could soon be a Chinese-built hatchback version of the Viaggio sold overseas – leading us to wonder if this Viaggio hatchback could lead to the rumored Chrysler 100 hatchback while also introducing the North American market to Chinese-built Chrysler Group vehicles.

Yesterday afternoon, we caught up with what appeared to be a 2014 SRT Viper GTS test mule in GTS Blue sporting some unusual round exhaust protruding through the side sills and a set of non-matching rear wheels similar to those used on the 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR - leading me to wonder if this test car might wear some of the features of the new American Club Racer Viper.

There was a point in time where buying a compact American sedan meant that you were driving a cheap, boring car but the 2013 Dodge Dart Limited shows how well the Chrysler Group has answered the increased demand for efficient and affordable compact vehicles that don’t skimp on the options – or the fun.

Today around 5pm EST, Chrysler and Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne watched his custom 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 roll onto the Barrett Jackson Auto Auction block and when the final gavel sounded – Sergio’s SRT Challenger raised $175,000 for charity.

For the third time this year and the ninth time in the last fifteen months, the Chevrolet Camaro was the top dog in the American muscle car segment in March 2013 - outselling the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger even though the Mustang had a strong March and the Challenger posted its best sales month ever.

While sitting in on a round table discussion with the folks from Motor Trend, SRT boss Ralph Gilles offered a few bits of information on the next generation Dodge Challenger - including a 2014 New York International Auto Show debut for the redesigned Mopar muscle car.

The refreshed 2014 Dodge Durango will make its big debut tomorrow morning at the 2013 New York International Auto Show but a full complement of images have been leaked onto the internet – showing us every possible angle of the new Durango R/T.
