Title: Vastly Improved Dodge Journey: 2011 Pics! Did Not See this Coming!
Post by: Atomic on October 20, 2010, 11:20:22 AM
i am very impressed with the thoroughly new dodge journey interior for 2011 and the model year exterior revisions! did not think the upgrades would prove this dramatic:

The big problem with the Journey wasn't the quality of its dash, but its space efficiency (which can't be fixed in a MCE) and its handling and brakes (which could be with significant work).

I never had a problem driving the Journey. Then again, I didn't have much to compare it to in its size and price class when I worked at the 'Prise.

Also, another thing I didn't see coming: Atomic using the shift button.

the '11 journey, not unlike many revised chrysler products may not be perfect, but all improvements make for dramatically better vehicles. fiat-chrysler accomplished this in record time while working overtime to design newer cars, trucks, suv's, crossovers, minis and other niche vehicles. there will always be critics, but for the average man, woman and family, the changes made are significant. the journey looks far better than the '10, but also a hell-of-a-lot better looking than some minivans and crossovers, imo. plus, fwd or awd choices make it more desirable than a lot of vehicles only offering fwd.

For such a seemingly popular website, you'd think they could make it a little less shitty. :huh:

I like(d) the Journey. Apparently, it's incredibly unreliable, though. I dunno...I hoped they fixed all of the problems with it.

Yeah, looks like it's made by a HS web design class.

The car looks pretty good, though.

Here's the question: Could you mistake Allpar for any other website? I believe the answer is 'no.'
