After becoming the self proclaimed Crush Orange paparazzi – I finally got to see Jeep’s new Gecko Green in person while attending the 2012 New York International Auto Show.

Anything and everything to do with the automotive industry. I mainly focus on Jeeps and other four wheel drive vehicles, but you’ll see the occasional two wheel drive article here and there.
Jeep continues to test the water with a pair of pickup concepts
Around this time every year, Jeep reveals concept vehicles to showcase at the annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab Utah. the EJS is most likely the largest single gathering of Jeep vehicles on the planet, and is certainly a great place for the Chrysler heads to acquire some customer feedback from the core of their customer base; the enthusiasts. This year, like the past few years, there is a nice mix of realistic production potentials, and outrageously awesome pipe-dream concepts. One trend we’ve seen over the last few years is the presence of Wrangler based pickup trucks – this year Jeep built two of them.

Dodge Drops Dart in Detroit
The Dodge Dart – the much anticipated compact contender from Chrysler, was officially revealed today at the North American International Auto Show. Flaunting fuel efficiency, class leading technology, and modern engineering; the Dart should easily win over Dodge’s disenfranchised Neon fans; and help everyone forget that the Caliber ever happened.

Could Jeep be preparing for a supra-Rubicon Wrangler?
Prior to 2003, there were few factory options available that would increase the offroad ability of your YJ or TJ Wrangler. Lift kits, rock sliders, heavy duty transfer cases, heavy duty axles, selectable lockers, sway bar disconnects, and lower axle gearing (among other things) were reserved for aftermarket manufacturers, or ambitious do-it-yourself-ers.

2013 dodge dart interior: high tech, customizable, and it has pockets!
Chrysler released more teaser shots of the 2013 Dodge Dart this morning; clearly trying to increase interest leading up to the January 9, 2012 reveal at the Detroit Auto Show. The interior styling clearly matches the exterior shots we saw last week, including light pipe interior illumination to match the Dart’s sweet Charger-esk rear end. The 2 new images, and additional specs about the tech-focused dart, leave me only to wonder… how will the power train perform?

Crush Orange 2012 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara with Color Match Top
I promise this will be the last Crush Orange Wrangler post – I just love this orange so much and know that a lot of you are having a hard time finding them. As with all of the pictures I’ve taken, the color seems a little lighter than it actually is. The grille shot with the Crush parked next to the Dozer shows a good comparison of the two. enjoy!

Arctic Wrangler and Liberty: they’re coooooming to America
When images of Jeep’s 2012 Arctic Wrangler edition surfaced a few weeks ago, there was only mention of outside US availability. Contrary to that thought; Arctics have already hit dealer lots, even though Jeep only officially ‘revealed’ the new special edition vehicles this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Crush Orange and Arctic JK Jeep Wranglers spotted
2012 Crush Orange Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited
I pass a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Fiat dealer on my way to work every morning – and for the last few weeks I’ve been checking the lot for a Crush Orange JK Wrangler while sitting in traffic. I thought I spotted one in the lot a few days ago, but it was gone by the time I passed on my way home. I stopped in Friday night, and to my surprise, they had moved the beautiful beast inside.
