newVideoPlayer("ChicagoJeepTrail_Jalop.flv", 463, 271,""); With the vast amount of floor space at McCormick Place for the Chicago Auto Show, Chrysler decided to put some of it to good use by setting up their "Trail Rated" challenge. Wert, Wojdyla and I piled into a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and proceeded through the course, bashing our heads against the roll-bars. The Wrangler made quick work of the rocks, logs, and steep hills ramps . Wanting a bit more of a challenge, we asked if we could get a ride in a Compass (or even an 18-1 Patriot) on the trail... but we think they must not have heard us. Oh well. Hmm... wonder how those DUB Chryslers would fair?

newVideoPlayer("WertsWood_Jalop.flv", 463, 271,""); Here it is in all its glory: The winner of the highly-coveted Motor Trend Truck of the Year Award, the Toyota Tundra. Just look at all those steel girders! When Ray (who had been locked up in the press room for most of the day) saw this shrine to the golden calipers, he just couldn't help but get an up close look. Thing is, it turns out the trendy payload was only skin-deep. We're thinking it was plywood, but you judge for yourself. All we know is -- to hold aloft that prestigious award you don't need something as strong as steel girders. Nah, you only need it to look like it.

newVideoPlayer("ChallengerLIVE_jalopnik.flv", 475, 269,""); Here it is! ...again. The 2008 Dodge Challenger . But this time we have video! And mustaches! Hoo, mamma! galleryPost('doanechallengersrt8reveal', 9, '2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Live Shots');We'd have to label all this Challenger material we've been posting, Posting! POSTING!!! of late some kind of steady build to this cargasmic moment. Obviously, with previous coverage, you've been forced to ponder, perhaps question some of the performance data, skeptically consider the Challenger's true aerial capabilities, and of course study many, many still pictures. But now you can just kick back and watch as we inaugurate the Challenger Channel.

newVideoPlayer("DodgeChallengerCommercial_gawker.flv", 475, 276); Oh yeah baby, the Muscle Car Wars (patent pending) are totally on now and Dodge is showing it -- revealing both a new commercial for the new muscle car that declares simply "It's On!" and then by dropping a pricing of $37,995 on the limited-edition, top of the line and 6.1-liter Hemi-powered 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 . The new pony car from the brand with the horns will come in three colors, black, silver or Hemi orange and they'll begin taking orders on the new Hemi hotness starting December 3rd. Now that would make a "December to Remember." We're totally declaring Monday a Jalopnik muscle car holiday. Full press release after the jump and we'll be seeing the official unveil in person in just a couple of months at the Chicago Auto Show. galleryPost('DodgeChallenger', 9, 'Dodge Challenger'); Dodge Announces Pricing for All-new 2008 Challenger SRT8® Dodge Challenger...
