To Acquire the 2011 Jeep Wrangler

Using the release of the Grand Cherokee Laredo as well as the Liberty by Chrysler, individuals commence to assume if the Wrangler is still for them. Drivers and soon-to-be automobile owners are much wiser, and they want a thing which will not simply be efficient, but convenient as well.

Since 1941, the Jeep has been well-liked to off-the-road enthusiasts and has remained like that for decades after. However, as time went by, new models from distinct automobile manufacturers have been invading the industry and competitors has been stiff. SUVs became a preferred among adventurous people who want the comfort of a smooth ride.

Getting along and riding as well as the times, the Wrangler has been consistently enhanced to get the approval of clients who've constantly been enthusiastic about its ruggedness. So the question that is frequently argued upon is that-is the Wrangler for everybody?

We've heard of thieves stealing wheels, tires, GPS and audio systems from cars, but pinching off doors from Jeep Wranglers is something new. However, that's exactly what's happening in Overland Park in Kansas, as thieves are taking doors off Jeep Wrangles and selling them online. Local police told KMBC news that four such thefts took place in the past few weeks alone.

According to the report, because the Jeep Wrangler's doors are hinged on the outside of the vehicle, it's very easy to remove the bolts if the vehicle is unlocked. The Overland Park police suggested that owners should keep their cars locked [maybe a warning sticker similar to the one found on mirrors could help...] adding that there are special bolt kits that make it very difficult to remove the doors.

That's the title that came with the press release on Vilner's Jeep Grand Cherokee tune that arrived in our mailbox, and we just had to use it. After all, it's always refreshing to see people in the auto industry with a sense of humor. Now, onto the little bit of info on this 600-horsepower Jeep.

Vilner, a Bulgarian tuner, has crafted this über-luxurious interior for the SRT600 Grand Cherokee. The Bulgarian tuner says the car has a "Vortech" turbo system (likely a Hennessey unit, as it's an SRT600) and, as you can see for yourself, a sea of grey leather and Alcantara highlighted by carbon fiber trim.

all-new 2011 Jeep Grand CherokeeThe

The all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, with so many new options and changes that are hard to list we are going to mention the ones that stand out the most, as the rear back up camera with a big display that is clear and easy to read, an optional 6.5 touch screen with build in navigation system and a 30GB drive that can hold up to 4,200 songs. The memory system feature controls the driver and passenger seat, radio presets and driver side exterior memory settings. Another nice feature the auto trunk lift, with the push of a button the rear liftgate will open and close, also with a separate button to remotely open the flipper glass. Depending on the setting you use the 2011 Grand Cherokee will rise and lower to adjust to your driving and road conditions, and the auto dimming headlights that adjust to exterior lighting and even dim down to prevent blinding oncoming drivers, this is just to name a few of the features available for this year's model.

On the powertrain we have two engines available the 3.5 Penstar V6 engine with a standard 5-speed automatic transmission and an EPA of 16/23 mpg available on the Laredo, Laredo X, Limited & Overland trims, and the 5.7 V8 HEMI engine with 360hp/190lb-ft of torque and an EPA of 14/20mpg with a multi-speed automatic transmission available on the Laredo X, Limited and Overland trims.

Jeep EV 2011

What's the difference between fuel-less and range extended? A fuel-less car runs on a battery. Simply charge it into a 110-volt outlet for about eight hours to recharge the car for a range of 150-200 miles. The range-extended car can also be charged on a standard household outlet. However, the range-extended car drives for about 40 miles on that battery power, then can go another 400 miles or so based on the battery power charge that the car gets as it runs.
The ENVI vehicles will operate in the same way that their equivalents operate today so that as a driver, you won't notice a difference in handling or operations. You will, however, notice a difference when it comes time to refuel - or recharge!


The Dodge Circuit EV was a new model, a concept car designed and built for Chrysler by Lotus, the British sports car company. That vehicle was the "surprise" of the three, a beautifully designed two-seater some believed would eventually replace the Dodge Viper. In reality, the Circuit EV was one of many concepts under consideration, standing as much chance of seeing production as the Dodge Zeo. Which means the Circuit was just for show.

2011 Jeep-Compass Review Design

Jeep by the way preferred to call their Jeep Compass URV short for urban recreational vehicle. The Compass is more like its cousin the Dodge's Caliber in the sense that the two share the same foundation plus some other parts and accessories like Jeep door handle cover taken from the DaimlerChrysler parts bin. But despite the similarities the Caliber and the Compass have ended distinct from each other.

I'm not so shallow that good looks will distract me from seeing how it drives and to be honest I sensed the worst. I mean Jeep supplies the US Army with its vehicles where armour easily out-muscles refinement on the must-have list. Despite this lack of pedigree the Compass really is refined. As you'd expect from a 4 x 4 manufacturer, the interior is spacious, well laid out and easy to use. Leg room in the back is so large that kids may get lost and boot space puts its hatchback rivals to shame. The build quality is also an improvement on past Jeep models - usually a sure fire sign that you've bought cheap. Yet the Jeep belies this fact, even if it is all a bit grey.

2012 Jeep Compass has a flip and slide feature

And, that's not all; the 2010 Compass also lacks the trademark styling of Jeep, and its renowned off road capabilities too. The vehicle's affordable price and the fuel economy are the only strong points. With the mpg rating of 23/28, Compass is one among the most fuel efficient automotives along with Jeep Patriot, but it doesn't live up to the expectations of some off-road sports enthusiasts.

The centre console of the Jeep Compass has a flip and slide feature and the lid of the console can serve as a comfortable armrest as it slides back and forward. There is also a flip pocket located in the lid; it swings open at a total of 145°, which allows for the feature of an iPod or cell phone to be put into position and stay there securely throughout your journey. This is also convenient as you won't have to reach into your pocket and distract yourself from the road when you want access to your phone or music from your MP3 player. A cargo flashlight is also featured in the vehicle. This removable, rechargeable device provides light for when you are driving at night; this proves to be very useful.

The 2011 Jeep Wrangler is like a lumberjack

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is designed for going "off road" and will move well over all types of terrain for example grass, gravel, small tree roots and rocks etc. However, Opinion appears to vary on this point. Some of the parents I spoke to have had absolutely no problems whilst others find the Jeep doesn't perform as expected on certain types of surface and slight inclines.

The 2011 Jeep Wrangler is like a lumberjack (and that’s okay). It’s at home in the woods, powerfully making its way through rough terrain, with the beefy construction to get the job done. Back in civilization, however, the Wrangler’s off-road tool box is about as useful as a lumberjack’s axe would be in Manhattan. The Wrangler excels at off-road pursuits, but reviewers say it’s hard to live with every day.

I have realised that this appears to be down to two problems. The first is that the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon like all other ride on toys has hard plastic wheels which seem to give poor traction. There are ways to remedy this problem, the first being rubber bands which fit over the wheels - these can be sourced on various sites online. Secondly, one parent I spoke to sprayed the wheels with a rubberised undercoat - this did the trick but needs to be reapplied regularly. Lastly, another parent went for the simple option - duck tape! Yes, it does work!

The new platform is set to "govern all of Chrysler's C- and D-segment vehicles, both passenger cars and SUVs, for the foreseeable future", said Marchionne, meaning that next-generation midsize sedans and crossovers will use it.

The small Dodge will enter production in early 2012, at the Belvidere Assembly Plant, which is undergoing an extensive renovation process that is costing the Chrysler Group $600 million.

Dented Wallets and Square Wheels: The 10 Worst Cars of 2010

In the age of high gas prices, hybrids and everyone supposedly going green like the government would make you think, the 2010 class of cars, SUV's and trucks took another hit this year with depreciation and upkeep costs. Just about all the top companies took a good hit in both categories of big and roomy and the supposedly fuel-efficient compact variety which is not as a big hit to people as many would tell you. Here's a listing of the worst performers of 2010 and vehicles you should avoid. These are not in any specific order. (contributed by Design 911)

Cadillac Escalade - Type: Luxury SUV

It's hard to say really what tipped the "experts" off on this vehicle. It did rank poorly amongst safety and value but the one statistic that really stuck out was this vehicle got top honours for the most stolen vehicle out of everything that's out there. "Pimp My Ride" apparently does not apply here.

Chevrolet Aveo - Type: Compact

The Chevrolet Aveo5 1LT overall value is at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to even more expensive models such as the Volkswagen Golf and Honda Civic. Consumer Reports concludes that "the ride is jittery and noise is constant." . What would you expect from driving something as small as a golf cart?

Chevrolet Colorado - Type: Pickup Truck

This vehicle has been rated poorly in just about in every aspect so I'm not going to waste my time telling you about it because what does matter is the fact that GM is soon doing away with this model as well as the Canyon. So, of course the best medicine would be to stay away from these models.

Dodge Nitro - Type: SUV

The SLT model is just another version of the Jeep Liberty but with lower marks. Consumers complained
how noisy this SUV is and how it lacks agility. There tended to be some sort of body lean which added difficulty for people steering. This would be the equivalent of pushing a baby stroller in gravel.

Ford F-250 - Type: Truck

The 2010 Ford F-250 Lariat was ranked the worst on gas mileage getting on average just 10 mpg. This was a diesel engine model as well. Hate to see how an unleaded version would do. At this bad a rate of miles per gallon, one would think you'd have to get a bank loan just to get back and forth to work every three months.

Jeep Wrangler - Type: SUV

The Unlimited Sahara was the main gripe but Jeep Wrangler overall has plummeted 23% in sales since the beginning of the year. Apparently it does well off-road but fell short when driven on-road. Handling is a challenge with vague steering and low cornering limits. It's reliability was another negative for consumers.

Chrysler Sebring - Type: Midsize

Car experts ridicule this unpopular gem for its cheap interior and poor performance. It is considered the worst midsize car for the money due to the high ownership costs. Its rate of depreciation is almost faster than watching paint dry.

Mercury Mountaineer - Type: SUV

Top honours for worst midsize SUV for the money, the Mountaineer (and its twin, Ford Explorer, which ranked right behind it) is truck-based. So therefore it makes it use more fuel than the competition and not something suited for city and suburban driving. If you live in this type area, the handling may cause a vein to pop out of your forehead as well.See another worst car 2010 here.

Detail Interior the red JEEP Grand Cherokee

Back to the interior of the red Grand Cherokee – it has carbon on the gears, hand brake, and steering-wheel. Actually, they are dressed in carbon leather, which perfectly imitates the outrageously expensive real carbon.

Usually rear end whining noises from Jeeps are rated on a scale from 1-10, anything under a 5 is acceptable and would not merit a repair. If a roaring noise is heard this is another matter, roaring noises should be looked into right away. I've rebuilt hundreds of rear ends and out of those, approximately 80% of them have been in Jeeps. Also the Jeeps I've worked on were not driven off road or abused in any way that I could see. They were mainly driven as a regular family car would be, so this leads me to conclude that this is just a common problem due to design.

2011 New Jeep-Grand-Cherokee

Jeep Grand Cherokees are prone to having several common mechanical problems. The problem that we cover today is with noisy differentials (rear ends). While it is acceptable for Jeep differentials to make some noise, it's not good to ignore noises that are more than moderate or if the noise is noticeably getting louder.

Not long ago I bought a used 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee quite cheap. I was hoping that it will be nice and cool, but it was a real disaster. Still there are some good things in it, first of all it is big and the body is in perfect shape, and also the seating feels comfortable, however as a whole my 1994 Grand Cherokee jeep is awful. Now I am sure that I would have been better off with a sensible Honda Civic or anything of the kind, instead of buying the Jeep that I now consider as the worst ever purchase I've made.

Vilner Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT600: "Bulgarian Job, but a Nice One"

That's the title that came with the press release on Vilner's Jeep Grand Cherokee tune that arrived in our mailbox, and we just had to use it. After all, it's always refreshing to see people in the auto industry with a sense of humor. Now, onto the little bit of info on this 600-horsepower Jeep.

Vilner, a Bulgarian tuner, has crafted this über-luxurious interior for the SRT600 Grand Cherokee. The Bulgarian tuner says the car has a "Vortech" turbo system (likely a Hennessey unit, as it's an SRT600) and, as you can see for yourself, a sea of grey leather and Alcantara highlighted by carbon fiber trim.

Other than that, there isn't much to say. Enjoy the pics below and don't forget to take a look at the press release which includes some hit catch phrases such as "your chances to sit in this car are close to zero" and "it smells like a LOT (and) expensive leather".

VILNER PRESS RELEASE:

Bulgarian job but a nice one (believe it or not!)

The most powerful Grand Cherokee, which you can spot in Bulgaria was finished in … Bulgaria. Surprised, ah? And if the turbo was made by the Californians from Vorteh, perfectly installed by the tuners of Overdive, the interior of this flying off-road coach is a pure Bulgarian job. And it smells like a LOT (and) expensive leather.

Since your chances to sit in this car are close to zero, we will tell you what you can find in there and what you cannot. Then you can brag about as if someone gave you a ride with the strongest Grand Cherokee in Bulgaria.

The interior is in different nuances of the grey, plus a pinch or two of carbon to taste, as the most rounded TV cook would say. Bulgarian studio Vilner turned the whole jeep inside out in order to redress its interior only in a stylish combination of leather and alcantara. Since everyone talk about the latter but no one knows that exactly it is (and why the hell one small saloon of alcantara burdens the invoice for your brand new car with at least several thousand EUR), we will explain it out loud. Alcantara is not deerskin but only pure artificial high-tech microfiber. So high-tech that it is offered for the same price as leather, however it is easily cleaned, highly durable, looks like expensive velveteen and it is perfect for the ceiling, front panel, seats, steering-wheel or for the door panels.

Back to the interior of the red Grand Cherokee – it has carbon on the gears, hand brake, and steering-wheel. Actually, they are dressed in carbon leather, which perfectly imitates the outrageously expensive real carbon. If you are such a nut, Vilner could do this for you too. Their goal in the case with the brutal Grand Cherokee, however, was to create the feeling of something much more special than the original plastic-fantastic interior of each modern Jeep.

The whole grey composition in the project is surmounted with red seams, which discreetly remind of the magnificent red paintjob of the vehicle. Each of the seats, as well as the ceiling, are with designer prints with woven inscription "600 SRT". The number shows the number of horses under the front hood and the second one, in the language of Grand Cherokee, means V8 engine from the Street and Racing Technology series of Chrysler.

VILNER EOOD was incorporated in 1996, and since 2010 the Vilner brandname has already been patented. The company relies on high quality and professionalism, aiming at being different from the others and it has raised its standards alone in order to be competitive. The services that it provides are design of interior furnishing of vehicles and buildings, additional noise-isolation of the coupe, diode lighting, designer solutions with carbon, piano varnish and aluminum, sound-screening and multimedia for vehicles, upholstering children carseats with leather, individual design of Vertu telephones, etc. The company policy is to prepare in advance the project's design, so that the client could see how it would look like and to start work only after it gets the client's approval.
