As the Jeep brand continues to blaze trails in Europe, it will unveil dark-trimmed concepts at the Geneva Motor Show in March. These production-intent models give a glimpse at a special Jeep Compass and Grand Cherokee, as well as the European debut of the Wrangler Mountain.

The brand has invested in a significant 8,234 sq-ft booth to make its muddy splash at a show better known for quirky small cars and outlandish supercars. These big-tired brutes should make an impression.
The Compass is given a sinister treatment, with gloss-black front accents, step pad, and 18-inch wheels. The grille is blacked out, with black headlamp surrounds. Even the roof rails are treated to gloss black. Appropriate to the market, this Compass features a 2.2-liter diesel engine with 164 hp and 236 lb.-ft. of torque. More...

Fiat will introduce its all-new 500L at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show on March 6th, revealing a family-scale 500 that combines efficiency, fun, and respectable rear accommodations.

The Fiat 500 made an impression Stateside already, reintroducing the fabled Italian brand to our market right when consumers are considering small cars.

With the 500L, it will even stand up against the Mini Clubman. Can an SUV variant be far behind? More...

You don’t hear the phrase “back to basics” very often from carmakers these days. But just when it seems every manufacturer is dead-set on cramming every extra possible into every model in its lineup, here comes the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee, which offers modern SRT performance in limited-edition, back-to-basics package.

Available in either Stinger Yellow or Pitch Black exterior paint with special Super Bee graphics, the exclusive models reflect a specially designed modern and extroverted interpretation of the legendary Super Bee performance built for the enthusiast who enjoys a vehicle with one mission in mind––to go fast.

The Super Bee packs a real sting in the form of a new 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 that delivers 45 more horsepower and 50 more lb.-ft. of torque than the 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 it replaces. Along with the big power numbers come big brakes––14.2 inch front and 13.8 inch rear vented and slotted rotors with four-piston Brembo calipers, cooled by a new underbody belly pan with integrated brake ducting.
