<p>There’s certainly quite a difference in driving bigger vehicles and usually one of those differences is luxury.  Larger cars have always been more expensive and will usually have many more options to choose from.  </p>
<p>The Chrysler 300 will seat six adults easily. There’s plenty of legroom and the seats are plenty big. This gives the driving experience a level of prestige and quality that smaller midsize cars just can’t deliver.</p>
<p>From the high quality materials used on the seats and interior to having power everything, large cars are built to impress.</p>
<p>The ride quality of a large car is much more smooth due to the weight and balance the distributed between all four wheels.  They usually produce less road noise and less vibration due to their weight and suspension setup.</p>
<p>With the new technology offered today and turbocharged engines we are seeing that these larger cars can be adequately powered with smaller engines giving us the best result, a vehicle that is comfortable to ride in, is economical, and better for the environment.</p>
<p>There seems to be a lot of excitement around electric vehicles but many people still prefer a larger more dominant vehicle. It’s in our nature to desire things that are bigger and better than ever and smaller cars just don’t give us that same level of satisfaction yet. Up until now smaller cars have been poorly powered and feel awkward to drive, sometimes even dangerously slow.</p>
<p>The ability to drive something that is large and luxurious is most likely what most people want but some feel that they shouldn’t. Best way to find out if it’s really worth it to downsize is to actually do the math and figure out just how much savings to expect, fuel consumption and which car is best and most suitable to your lifestyle.</p>

<p>The engineers at Chrysler put SRT (Street and Racing Technology) on vehicles where they are built for performance and durability.  The racing and performance of SRT vehicles puts them into a class of their own due to the extent in which Chrysler improves the vehicles all around agility.</p>
<p>The feeling of driving an SRT is intended to be like that which may only come from being behind the wheel of a professional race car, having a significant amount of power at your disposal and knowing how and when to experience it.</p>
<p>The package indicates that a significant focus on high performance is central to the purpose of an SRT equipped car.  Chrysler has reserved this symbol for vehicles that meet the requirements and deliver the performance expectations.</p>
<p>SRT is a term that communicates to the world that the best modifications and alterations have been done to get the best performance out of the vehicle.  This comes from improvements made to the engine, brakes, and suspension, making the vehicle aggressive from the day it rolls off the manufacturers line.</p>
<p>Not only is the SRT optimal for performance and racing, but its also including the Premium package that upgrades all of the standard features.  In short, you&#8217;re getting all the best that you can get from the company and you can be sure it&#8217;s going to be quality.</p>
<p>The legendary muscle cars that have been reincarnated have brought back with them the quality and attention to detail that was so prevalent in those days.  These do not feel like mass production vehicles, its as if they have a special touch or someone really appreciated building them and took care of them while they went down the assembly line.</p>
<p>People who build high performance cars typically love driving high performance cars.  It&#8217;s usually because it is a dream job for so many enthusiasts, to be part of a classic vehicle lineup.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chrysler Group LLC and green auto enthusiasts are pleased with news coming out of Chrysler Group’s new 822,000 square foot plant in Trenton, MI. The flex-fuel Pentastar engine, an all-aluminum, 60-degree, dual-overhead cam (with variable valve timing)—which is their powertrain offensive has now begun production. At this time Chrysler foresees the Pentastar V-6 taking the place of a whooping seven V-6 engines in use now by several models. The company, ramping up R&#038;D, poured $730 million into this endeavor with a goal to produce 400,000 engines per year.</p>
<p>The very first Pentastar will be placed in the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee available to the public the second quarter of 2010 and offering 280 horses (a nice increase), 6,400 rpm and 260 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy, according to Chrysler, with the all-new Pentastar will be 11 percent better than the prior engine when using 87-octane or E85. </p>
<p>According to Chrysler the Pentastar V-6 is the most advanced V-6 engine in company history. This new innovation will offer Chrysler customers 25 percent in fuel economy over current models in the Ram Truck, Jeep, and Dodge product lines. Because<br />
Chrysler foresees great things from the Pentastar engine, technologies ‘from their Fiat alliance like Multiair, direct-injection and turbocharging’ could be used when updating vehicles in the product lines. </p>
<p>Allpar.com Web site reports that the Pentastar engine “features high-flow intake and exhaust ports, which in combination with VVT via dual independent cam phasing, allows optimum volumetric and combustion efficiency over the full speed and load range. This results in an exceptional, flat torque curve along with high specific power. The engine’s torque exceeds 90 percent of its peak value from 1,600 to 6,400 rpm, which provides outstanding drivability and responsiveness.” </p>
<p>Chrysler Group LLC jumps into the added fuel economy race impressively with a Pentastar engine to be on the roads in the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee early 2010.</p>
