Test drive Dodge Ram 1500 EcoDiesel: Horns forward
The first kilometers behind the wheel of a full-size American pickup. Even the size of this car (or is it more correct to call it a truck, and not the smallest one?) is enough to turn it into an interesting sight on European roads. Pickup trucks of this class are extremely popular in the USA, but although they are quite decent sizes there, on the relatively narrow roads of the Old Continent and especially in urban conditions, here it looks like a four-wheeled analogue of Gulliver in the land of Lilliputians. However, the effect wouldn't be as striking if the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Dodge didn't have a distinctive design - with its monstrous traditional-style grille and copious chrome trim, this car looks like a powerhouse among other cars on the road. Generally…
Test drive Shelby Cobra 427, Dodge Viper RT / 10: S brute force
Cobra is an established classic - rare and expensive. Does Viper have the qualities to become one? Race car driver and poultry farmer Carol Shelby once delighted the world with the most brutal roadster, the Cobra 427. Its rightful successor as a show of brute force is the Evasion Viper RT/10. Viper! A 90 year old prehistoric monster from AC Cars and Shelby American against its (also created with the participation of Carl Shelby) successor from the 10s. Check if the venom of the two snakes is still working. And, of course, because we want to know for sure if the VXNUMX Viper sports car has a chance to become a classic. This story will remain unwritten. Exceptionally, this was not due to…
Test drive Dodge Avenger: neocon
The Avenger joins the new generation Chrysler Sebring in attacking the middle class. First impressions of the fourth model in the European Evasion line. Viper, Caliber, Nitro… If the first three Dodge offerings in European markets are more or less similar in their desire to stand out from the competition by offering something extreme, original and even extravagant, the Avenger falls into a rather conservative market segment in which experimentation and originality are not always cause understanding and applause. The hard fate of the classic sedan But what to do - the fate of the classic sedan today is not easy. Surrounded on all sides by market-hungry new car options, he is forced to please a noticeably reticent audience in terms of change, finding a difficult balance between the desire to introduce something new and the fear of being rejected ...
test drive Dodge Challenger SRT8: average mileage
Evasion Challenger and Hemi engine - this combination evokes haunting associations of blue smoke clouds around the rear wheels and the ominous sound of exhaust pipes. The iconic car of the early 70s is back, and everything about it (almost) looks like time. At the beginning of this story, we must definitely remember Mr. Kowalski. However, without this movie hero, the Dodge Challenger would look like a hamburger without ketchup - not bad, but somehow unfinished. In the cult film Vanishing Point, Barry Newman races across the western states in a white 1970 Challenger Hemi and must cover the distance from Denver to San Francisco in 15 hours. The hellish chase with the police ended fatally - a powerful explosion as a result of the impact of two bulldozers that blocked the road. It was the end...

Dodge, then under the umbrella of DaimlerChrysler AG, makes nine of these motorcycles, each over 55 years old. So it was in the period 2003-2006 ...
