The Overwhelming Demand of the Dodge Challenger: Hellcat Edition


The Dodge Challenger: Hellcat edition had such an overwhelming demand that the automaker had to temporarily suspend orders for the vehicle. This will give the manufacturer some time to figure how it is going to supply all of this demand. We guess it's a good problem to have.

Why all the craze? Perhaps because it is the most powerful American engine ever made--this beast boasts a 707 horsepower.

"Dodge has delivered over 2,200 Hellcats since they went on sale last year, but allegedly close to 10,000 orders have been placed with dealers across the country, about twice as many as it expected to build for 2015," according to a Fox News article. 

We can't really blame the people for wanting to get behind the wheel of this bad boy, but we certainly wanted to explain why you should buy one if you happen to come across one.

The Jeep Renegade has Arrived!


We've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the all-new Jeep Renegade, and it's finally here! We have two of them in stock, and they start at only $21,685! This compact SUV is the first of its kind for Jeep, that doesn't mean it is unable to do Jeep things. 

Be one of the first lucky people to drive the Jeep Renegade, and if it makes sense, take it home with you! You'll be sure to impress as you cruise down the road in the Renegade. 

"From the Jeep Renegade’s big, innocent peepers (bearing a little Jeep grille and headlights logo) to its saccharine-sweet taillights molded with an “X” in the middle to look like the side of a jerrycan, the Renegade is 166.6 inches of ­concentrated adorableness," says an excerpt from Car and Driver.

Don't wait long, because we expect these Renegades to find a good home soon!
