What you are looking at is in fact the new upcoming 2011 Dodge Charger.  The Ram’s head logo might be replaced by the two diagonal stripes which are Dodge’s new logo.  The production launch should be starting late in November this year which will be the same time as the slightly refreshed 2011 Dodge Challenger.  The upcoming models will feature the new Pentastar V6 along with the usual Hemi V8.  The next generation SRT8′s will have a 6.4 liter Hemi V8 replacing the current 6.1 liter V8.  Power output could be as high as 500 hp from the 6.4 liters powering the SRT8′s, though 440-475 hp is more likely.  We can expect the SRT8′s to most likely appear towards the end of 2011 or beginning of 2012.  A 5 speed automatic will be the transmission in the 2011 at launch, though rumors peg a ZF designed 8 speed transmission possibly coming to the line up.  The 8 speed might only make it to the SRT’s and trucks but who really knows at this point.  Also possible is a 7 speed automatic again this it is really unknown what will happen on this front.

The greenhouse seems to be smoothed out possibly for aerodynamics.  The grill is restyled and enlarged.  The hood has more sculpting and more creases appear all over.  Overall this looks like a healthy update and I personally can not wait to see the rear.  We can naturally assume the new refreshed models will be revealed later this fall.

So this lonely police Dodge Charger is having an identity crisis.  This is obviously equipped with the Hemi V8 based on the dual exhaust.  Though the Honda V6 badge and the Ford flex fuel badges are a bit misleading.  That and the Hybrid badge makes no sense seeing as there is no such thing as a hybrid Dodge Charger.  The best part?  This vehicle lives in the great state of California, also known as the home of the Toyota Prius.

The numbers are officially in on the all-new Pentastar V6 and it will be pumping out 10 more hp then previously stated in the upcoming 2011 Grand Cherokee.  That brings the grand total to 290 hp and 260 lb-ft channeled through a five-speed automatic.  The optional Hemi will be rated at 360 hp and 390 lb-ft, also channeled through a five-speed automatic.  Definitely notable is the estimated fuel mileage in the V6, which is expected to come in around 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.  That is significantly better than the current generation Grand Cherokee’s 3.7 liter V6.  The Hemi will probably be rated right around 14 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.  For that kind of power the Hemi has a somewhat acceptable highway rating in my opinion.  More news is sure to flow out on the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee as it is anticipated to go on sale next month and arrive in dealerships shortly after.
