Power and fuel-efficiency all wrapped up in one very muscular package might sounds impossible, but Ford has yet again proven that they're more than willing to challenge the norm. Meet the 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, the most fuel-efficient sports car in the 500-horsepower range. Yup, even at 662 ponies of power, the MPG ratings of the new GT500 are up by one mile-to-the-gallon compared to last year's model. It's also, officially...

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...

Well, the verdict is in: the latest trim level for the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee is officially called Altitude. The name was chosen from a pool of more than 100,000 entries, all of which were submitted by people who had their sights set on winning a new Grand Cherokee. Now that the name is revealed, it's time to talk about the trim level itself. In a word: black.

First up, the Grand Cherokee...

When the all-new 2013 Dodge Dart premiered at the North American International Auto Show in January, executives said we'd see it in our showroom on April 1. And, boy, were we excited. Except, it seems that Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne is showing his superstitious side, as he's recently said that the launch might be postponed to a less-auspicious date.

It will likely still arrive in April, but we're not very excited about...

There's a yellow De Tomaso Pantera out there with a bullet hole through the steering wheel. You know who put that bullet hole there? None other than The King himself, Elvis Presley. As it turns out, it wouldn't start one day, and in his frustration, he shot the steering wheel. We know that cars that come with cool stories like that one are priceless, but this car in particular has been said to...

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...

Still searching for the perfect gift for the car lover in your family? It might surprise you to hear it, but most automakers don't stop at just car parts and accessories. In fact, even Chrysler is in on it - with branded wall clocks, shirts, and other goodies for car fans. That's right, this Christmas you can bring a little bit of Detroit history...

These days, automakers are implementing a myriad of new technologies to keep drivers comfortable and entertained while driving. But, Ford has taken their MyFord and SYNC technology beyond infotainment to help keep drivers focused on the road. Targeting some of their most vulnerable drivers (teens), Ford will introduce upgrades to their MyKey system that include a speed governance system, and even a low fuel warning, among other things.

The previous version of the MyKey software in the Ford Explorer enabled...

Last year at this time, Italy-based Fiat pledged to build a range of small Jeep- and Alfa-branded SUVs at their factory in Turin, Italy. But, due to the changing value of the dollar compared to the Euro, sources says Fiat may be moving the production of these America-bound vehicles to the U.S.

While none of this has been confirmed, Automotive News has reported that, "Last November, Fiat pledged to build a range of small...
