        Annette Dutton Bratcher Forum : The Dodge brand's first crossover vehicle -- the all-new 2009 Dodge Journey -- arrived in dealer showrooms in the first quarter of 2008, and is now available outside North America in petrol and diesel powertrains in both left- and right-hand drive. Arriving in dealerships now is the limited-edition 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 with a 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 engine that boasts 425 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. Later in 2008, Dodge will add three more new vehicles to its product lineup -- the all-new 2009 Dodge Ram with game-changing exterior and interior design, innovations, best-in-class features and craftsmanship; the all-new 2009 Dodge Challenger, a modern interpretation of the American muscle car; and the new 2009 Dodge Durango HEMI(R) Hybrid, a hybrid-electric vehicle that combines fuel efficient advanced hybrid technology with full-size SUV performance and capability.

        Dutton Bratcher : Although the new engine represents just a slight increase in power for the EX (the EX35 packs 297 horsepower) and, depending on the final number, a slight loss for the 306 horsepower G35 sedan, it's possible that 2009 U.S. models of both will also receive the 3.7-liter engine.

The panels cover the 42,000-square-foot roof of the detail shop. In January, the panels began capturing the sun's rays and converting them into electricity. The panels will produce 136 megawatt-hours of electricity annually, meeting 15 percent of the shop's electricity needs. The juice is used to power the shop's lighting, vacuums and mechanical lifts.
