It wasn't so long ago that Americans began holding their wallets a little closer to their chests while they watched the economy struggle. It also meant that major purchases - a new car, a new home, new appliances - were put on hold. So the fact that three major automakers recently reported a huge jump in sales last month is the bright spot we've all been looking for. Yes, folks, people are definitely buying cars...

With the arrival of the 2012 Chrysler 200, the automaker lives up to their hometown moniker. That's right, as the automaker says, this sedan embodies "the power of old Detroit...the efficiency of new Detroit."¹. As such, Gillie Hyde Auto Group thinks it would be difficult for Chrysler to make the Chrysler 200 even better than it already. Not that that particular fact matters, since Chrysler asked their parts division, Mopar, to create...

The Dodge Viper took a bit of a rest last year while engineers toiled away at redesigning and perfecting the car for the 2013 model year. That's right, premiering at the New York Auto Show in April: The 2013 Dodge Viper. And, get ready. It sure is something to behold.

Does Gillie Hyde Auto Group think it was worth the wait? Absolutely. Have we enjoyed the wait? Absolutely not. But, we're super-psyched to...

If you've been a longstanding fan of the Dodge Caravan, you might be disappointed to hear that Chrysler plans to replace the popular minivan with a crossover starting next year. If you're a minivan purest, don't worry, the automaker will continue to make the Chrysler Town & Country indefinitely.

At the Gillie Hyde Auto Group, we know that Chrysler is king when it comes to innovation amongst the American automakers. The most recent example of this can easily be found in the new eight-speed automatic transmission that is being fitted into full size sedans, such as the 2012 Chrysler 300C and 2012 Dodge Charger. Both of these models are powered by the Chrysler Pentastar V6 engine, so you can rest assured that these two…

We all know that it is a bad idea to use your cell phone, smart phone, or other mobile media device while driving... still this information doesn't seem to stop a large number of people from use them behind the wheel. While we have all heard the horror stories of accidents that are caused by distracted driving, the issue still remains unregulated across the country.

So far, there have been only nine states to…

Chrysler displayed clear foresight into the future of the auto industry when they applied for the U.S. Department of Energy for a loan to invest in the development of fuel-efficient vehicle technology. While this seemed like a great idea at the time, unfortunately, Chrysler's application had to be deferred for 24 months due to their bankruptcy and failing financial status. Now, Chrysler is back and ready to try, once again, for the loan…

Imitation is said to be the highest form of flattery. However, there's a fine line between representing and steeling another's ideal to turn a profit. Recently, Detroit retailer, Pure Detroit, took it upon themselves to print apparel with the new Chrysler slogan, "Imported from Detroit".
