Dodge invented the minivan concept nearly 20 years ago to help families get more out of life. Two decades later, perhaps the greatest exterior feature of the 2012 Dodge Caravan is its power sliding door and/or liftgate. Both doors include an obstacle detection system that reverses direction when obstacles are detected either in the opening or closing directions of travel. Inside the Caravan, comforts abound as well, including swing-out cup holders on middle-row Quad-Command bucket seats that stay upright no matter if the seat is tilted up or back, wireless audio headsets and remote audio controls for rear-seat passengers, and an available DVD player with pop-down seven-inch screen. Most impressively, the Caravan offers a minivan-first available Three-Zone automatic Temperature Control. With features like these, buying a 2012 Dodge Caravan just makes sense.

And that's not even accounting for safety. The 2012 Dodge Caravan Minivan leads its class in safety features, including front seat belt pretensioners that remove up to 3.9 inches of slack before air bags are deployed, an optional four-wheel disc antilock brake system, and overall body structure that helps protect you in side-impact collisions with energy absorbing materials. Caravan received the government's five star side-impact rating in 2002, and Dodge experts say the 2012 model is even safer than its predecessor.

2012 Dodge Durango

2012 Dodge Durango

Durango was not dead after Chrysler gave us a sneak peek of a very early mock-up. Now, while these shots prove Dodge will have an entry in the full-size SUV segment, we hear reports that the vehicle may ditch the Durango moniker, used since 1998. The new name will be attached to a unibody crossover that will grow in length and significantly drop in ride height, partially due to the loss of its body-on-frame construction.

With camouflage obstructing many of the updates, there isn’t much we can glean from these shots. But we expect this CUV to be riding on a lengthened version of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cheroke platform, which was developed alongside the next Mercedes-Benz ML. The front fascia will be distinctly different from that of the current Durango, with an even larger surface area including the notable presence of a hefty chin. Although the front-door length appears to be similar in size to, if not longer than, the current model’s, the rear doors are definitely stretched, as is the rear overhang, pointing to what we hope is a roomy third row.

As far as engines are concerned, expect to find the new corporate Pentastar V-6 underhood with some 280 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. A 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 will be available for power-hungry customers or those looking for added utility. An all-wheel-drive option is a given.

By the time this next Durango—or whatever it’s called—hits the market sometime in late 2011 or early 2012, the full-size crossover triplets of GM, including the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia, should be due for a hearty freshening, while Ford’s next Explorer will also be out in crossover form. Even though Dodge will be late to the party, it is picking an opportune time to make an entrance.

Jeep Willys Quad 1940

Initially, Willys-Overland and American Bantam Car Manufacturing Company, the only two companies meet. But soon, the Ford Motor Company entered the scene, and competition began among the three in which the company would receive the lucrative government contracts.

Each of the companies for the production of prototypes for testing in record time. Chief Engineer Bantam Bantam and the management team, developed the project, and the company has built its field car within 49 days.

Willys-Overland vice president of engineering Delmar G. Roos designed the Willys Quad. Ford developed its Model (General Purpose) GP, known as Pygmies, which was powered by an adapted Ford / Ferguson tractor. Each company has a prototype of the army in the summer of 1940 and obtained permission to build 70 test vehicles.

The army took possession of these vehicles in November 1940 at Camp Holabird, Md. Each of the three designs exceeded the Army specifications of £ 1,300., But the army realized that the limit is too low and raised for next round of vehicles.

The army has launched the next round of contracts in March 1941. Bantam BRC was to produce 40 vehicles 1500 model, Ford would build 1,500 modified and improved GP Pygmies, and Willys would build 1,500 Quads. Testing and evaluation led to the selection Army Willys vehicle as the standard.

Since then, most of the Bantam, Ford GP products were sent to England and Russia as part of the Lend-Lease. United Kingdom Ford vehicle was popularly known as the "Blitz Buggy."

With modifications and improvements, the Willys Quad became the MA, and later the MB. But the army, and the world became known as the Jeep ®.
