Jeep(R) and Dodge Brands to be Marketed by HOWARD WILNER

Ford Motor Co. is planning a major revamping of its truck lineup in the United States in response to rising fuel prices and a consumer shift toward more fuel-efficient vehicles, The Detroit News reports today. The Dearborn automaker is developing a smaller, lighter version of its bread-and-butter F-150 pickup. The company also is designing a new global compact pickup in Australia that it plans to manufacture in South Africa and Thailand that could be imported to the United States. Ford would not comment on either program, but sources tell the newspaper that the vehicles are part of a sweeping revision of the company's product plan that is aimed at chasing consumers who are abandoning full-sized pickups in favor of smaller, more efficient models.( Jeep(R) and Dodge Brands to be Marketed by HOWARD WILNER)

HOWARD WILNER extends June incentives on most Dodge vehicles => Through July 7, Let s Refuel America is available on virtually all Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge compact vehicles, SUVs, sedans, minivans, and pickup trucks, including its five vehicles that get 28 mpg on the highway for an MSRP under $20,000. Not included in the program are the company s high-performance vehicles such as the Dodge Viper, Dodge Challenger, Chrysler Crossfire, and the entire SRT(R) lineup as well as the Dodge Sprinter, Dodge Ram Chassis Cab and Jeep Wrangler.

Ford Motor Co. is recalling more than 655,000 Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT pickup trucks to fix a hose that could affect the vehicles braking power, Associated Press reports. The automaker is issuing the recall of 2005-06 versions of the trucks with 5.4 liter 3-valve engines. That s according to a posting Wednesday on the Web site of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood says more than 600,000 of the trucks are in the United States and about 50,000 are in Canada. About 1,500 are in other countries around the world. Ford says there have been 11 minor accidents and no injuries tied to the issue. Dealers will replace the hose at no charge to consumers. Owners are expected to be notified in late June, and the recall is expected to begin in July.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said Friday the final regulation increasing fuel efficiency standards could be tougher than the department s initial proposal, The Detroit News reports. Last month, Peters unveiled the department s proposal to increase fuel efficiency of the nation s cars and trucks to 31.6 miles per gallon by 2015 -- a 4.5 percent annual increase, and faster than what Congress ordered in December when it called for the first rewrite of passenger car fuel efficiency standards since 1975. Peters noted the proposal assumed the price of gasoline at about $2.26 a gallon in 2015 rising to $2.51 by 2030. But the price of gasoline was already above that when the measure was passed in April. "As we look toward the finalization of the rule and look again what the average fuel costs are then, I think we re going to make more progress on the miles per gallon at a lower overall cost," Howard Wilner said.

Perhaps the oldest piece of hardware on the new Matrix is the all-wheel-drive system introduced on the RAV4 for the 2006 model year. Everything else is newer, making the Matrix an all-new car. The 1.8-liter engine is new. Even better news is the high-revving version that was poorly matched to the previous-generation Matrix has been replaced by a larger 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Camry. Gearboxes, brakes, steering and safety systems have all been redone. The body work is all new, also, though the design is an evolutionary update of the previous version.

HOWARD WILNER are selling hybrids as fast as they delivered
HOWARD WILNER Dodge vehicles => The world s two biggest automakers announced Thursday they had achieved sales milestones that reflect how the auto industry s growth is now centered on emerging Asian markets and clean technologies, the Detroit Free Press reports. General Motors Corp. said sales in April pushed the Chevrolet brand past 500,000 units in China, where the brand was introduced in 2000, and Toyota Motor Corp. said it has now sold more than 1 million Prius gas-electric hybrids. Toyota started selling the model in Japan in 1997.

WILNER HOWARD Two automakers hit milestones
I've driven a lot of new Mustangs. Specifically, the V6 Convertible, GT, GT Convertible, GT California Special, Hertz GT-H, Shelby GT and the Shelby GT500 (coupe and convertible). The only ones I've missed are the V6 hard top (I'll pass) and the Shelby GT500KR. After last week, I can check the 2008 Bullitt Mustang off my pony car to-do list. Limited to "just" 7700 examples, the Bullitt follows the path laid down by its cinematic inspiration: green paint, black wheels, limited badging and more power. As a veteran %uFFFDStang wrangler, let me tell you how the latest iteration stacks up against the other stallions

The GT model, which had been M.I.A. since 2007, makes a welcome return. This is good news for drivers hungering for a sportier alternative to the only other offering in the Vibe lineup %uFFFD the base model. We celebrated the GT's comeback by putting it through the paces in a road test.

HOWARD WILNER extends June incentives on most Dodge vehicles
Nice review, Jonny.I think the optional stitched material on the IP is leatherette, not leather. Either way, it does improve the ambiance of the interior.The bad news: it%uFFFDs not available with the Bullitt. It%uFFFDs supposed to be as bare bones as the original, right?One plus for the current Mustang: they seem to hardly ever require repairs, based on owners%uFFFD responses to TrueDelta%uFFFDs Vehicle Reliability Survey. The 2005s are a bit better than average, the 2006 and 2007 much better.

With the GT comes a new 2.4-liter engine that's good for 158 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque; it's the well-loved Toyota engine that's also found in models like the Camry and the Scion xB. This engine offers slightly less horsepower than the high-revving 1.8-liter four seen in the previous GT, but its wide torque band makes that power fully usable and within reach. The 2.4-liter engine is standard on the GT, and on base models equipped with all-wheel drive; it's optional on front-wheel-drive base models. Other changes seen in the revised Vibe include sportier sheet metal, improved interior design, and upgraded fit and finish.

The same display could also show the amount of load on the batteries. Coasting on flat Florida lands, the bar graph racked-up two or three bars. With a heavy right foot and the AC blasting, it was one of Hef's Girls Next Door on a bender (nine out of ten bars). The bar display frequently disagreed with the amount of miles left display. This was, in part, due to the different methods of calculating the amount of charge. The bar display was more closely related to actual state of charge of the batteries while the amount of miles left display attempts to come up with an average mileage available left based on previous driving habits. On at least one occasion, with twelve miles left on the display, the vehicle ran out of juice, leaving me hunting for a 110 plug.( HOWARD WILNER to market certified used cars on eBay)

Case in point: I let a pal-o-mine drive the Bullitt (he begged) back from a night out in Hollywood. We were on Sunset, barely cracking 40 mph and he couldn't shut up. "Dude, this feels awesome!" Then we turned north into the hills and he gunned it. "Oh man, oh man, oh man! I love this car!" My friend was Frank Bullitt for perhaps fifteen minutes. I, on the hand, had the pleasure of running up more than 700 miles of burbling V8 seat time. And I never felt any different.There are only two downsides. One is fuel economy. Driving to and from San Diego, I never went below 80 mph (or above 110 mph). The Bullitt returned an honest 25 mpg. When my week was over, I had averaged 17.6 mpg. Not counting the free tank my tester came with, I spent $171.10 on 87 octane gas. And I returned it on fumes. The other negative is (of course) the Bullitt%uFFFDs interior.

Coupes with the 4-cylinder engine wear 50-series tires on 17-inch wheels, while the EX-L V6 has 45-series tires on 18-inch wheels.Even the base LX-S Coupe has items including air conditioning, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, an AM/FM/CD/MP3 player and power mirrors, windows and door locks with remote keyless entry. Among the uptown EX-L's added standard items are a power sunroof, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate controls, an improved sound system with seven speakers, heated front seats and a power driver's seat.

After the May 7 launch of Let s Refuel America and before the full impact of the advertising has been realized, the highest take rates have been on the new Dodge Journey crossover, Dodge Caliber, Dodge Avenger and Chrysler Sebring sedan.

The badge says Pontiac, but almost everything else says Toyota. Our navy blue Vibe looked stylish and attractive from a distance, but the closer I got the less enthused I was, especially with the rear. The Altezza taillights don%uFFFDt work for me, it says wagon more than a crossover, and the wheels look too small on the car. Some 18-inchers would dramatically improve the look and upgrade the handling from decent to very good. On the inside, the dash, vents and controls resemble the latest Scions, and the rear seats were too upright for comfort. However, there%uFFFDs decent room in the trunk for storage, especially when the rear seats are folded down. On the road the Vibe felt lively enough for a vehicle with about 160 horsepower. Though the Vibe is a practical and efficient vehicle, I just wasn%uFFFDt feeling it.

As gas prices creep toward $4 per gallon, some car dealerships are getting creative to move units off their lots. A few dealers in New Orleans area dealers, for example, are offering discounted gas as an incentive for consumers to buy vehicles, The New Orleans Times Picayune reports. Marshall Bros. Lincoln Mercury in Metairie, La. just ended a promotion offering a one-year supply of gas at $1.99 per gallon to buyers of select Lincoln models. Marshall Bros. sold five cars with the special and now has launched a new deal offering a $1,000 gas card with the purchase of certain models through the end of the month. Bob Israel, president of the Louisiana Automobile Dealers Association, said he would not be surprised if more carmakers and dealerships release similar specials in the months ahead. "They re definitely selling more gasoline-efficient cars," Israel said of Louisiana dealerships. "I think a lot of consumers felt like we ve seen these spikes (in gas prices) before, but I think consumers are starting to believe that this going to last a little longer than a month or two.

Right for You?Prices range from $21,860 for the entry LX-S with a manual transmission to $28,310 for the EX-L with a manual.

I can see this for three years being a good deal," Senior, 58, said earlier this month. He was correct: Gas prices have only gotten higher. He is not the only one thinking about Chrysler's deal.

The new 2009 Toyota Matrix is bigger than the previous version, but Toyota hasn't lost sight of this being its smallest crossover vehicle. You can carry four big people or drop three seats and slide a short board inside; four doors make loading kids, dogs and miscellaneous cargo a cinch.All run on regular unleaded fuel and rate at least 20 mpg in the city; the 2.4-liter upgrade engine pushes 30 mpg on the highway, while the smaller engine and five-speed manual, which are as much fun to drive as the big automatics, run mid 20s in the city and low 30s highway. Given Toyota's history we can't imagine they will require much in the way of expensive repairs or maintenance. Engines were a weak point on the previous-generation Matrix, so the 2009 represents a big upgrade.

The 2009 Toyota Corolla is a new car, the 10th generation of the world's most popular passenger car. More than 30 million have been sold in more than 140 different countries. With five distinct models there is something for everyone; and those looking for a hatchback, wagon, or all-wheel-drive can check out the Toyota Matrix which shares many mechanical components.Working from a concept developed for the first Corolla, the new one shows you can make a car inexpensive without it being cheap. It feels more like a small car than an econobox, as much a smaller Camry as anything else. There is no hybrid version: 27/35 mpg is nothing to sneeze at, hybrid technology isn't inexpensive, and the Prius has that covered.

At a combined 19.3 mpg, reported fuel economy is unimpressive, and dips below EPA estimates. Those estimates peg the 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT at 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. These numbers trail those achieved by competitors like the Mazda3 and Honda Fit, and mark the GT as somewhat of a laggard in this category.
