dodge nitro 2012 to be a completely new car yourself, but beyond that there is disconcerting regarding the vehicle. Some analysts wonder.
The next Maserati Quattroporte will reportedly use V6 and V8 engines with a ZF eight-speed automatic and four wheel drive, and stop/start technology to increase gas mileage; it will be made in Italy. The V8 will not be a Hemi, but the V6 is expected to be a twin-turbo version of the Pentastar V6. A “baby” Quattroporte is assumed to be based on the Chrysler large-car platform and be built in the Bertone plant.
New source “autojunkie” wrote that start/stop technology would be implemented on Challenger, Charger, and 300 with Hemi, V6, and diesel engines in model-year 2013. The Charger V6 and 300 will be first to get the eight-speed, followed by the Challenger SE.
Imperial was set for 2015 when last seen but might have been dropped in favor of the Alfa.

The other is the Dodge Dakota replacement, possible 2013 Ram Dakota, lighter than the current model, but still capable -- the so-called "lifestyle Dakota." In 2007, when we first broke the story on this new truck, we quoted a Dodge rep saying that it would still be capable, just not as capable. A Canadian newspaper said it would be based on the minivan platform with another report saying that the truck will be built at Windsor, the minivan plant. However, Sergio Marchionne later told Ward’s Auto World that the truck would only be built in Windsor if it was compatible with the next-generation minivan platform. Projected sales appear to be around 30,000 units.
The upcoming one-metric-ton Dodge truck for Europe is also out there. Bob Sheaves pointed out that European standards are different for trucks, and that a one-ton truck in the E.U. would be rated lower in the U.S. This could be the new Dakota, an offshoot of the Ram, or possibly even the Ram 50 replacement.
There is a possibility the Iveco Daily platform will be translated as a Jeep and made available as both Scrambler/Rescue/etc and Grand Wagoneer, replacing the Iveco Massif. This seems increasingly unlikely
The 2011 Dodge Nitro promotes a big, beefy image and it tends to handle like its image would suggest. While there are a few finer points to the Nitro, most consumers are not thrilled with some of the features and tend to move onto other SUVs with better fuel efficiency and better handling.
The 2011 Dodge Nitro offers some upgrades from previous models. The tinting on the glass is deep and effective, and the seating is now constructed of a heavier material. Racing stripes have been added, which is an interesting feature considering the lack of power and acceleration that is offered from either engine option. The “Heat” package provides the consumer with a 4.0 liter engine, a better sound system, and Bluetooth.
As a compact crossover the 2011 Dodge Nitro is considered more of an on road vehicle. For those that are looking for cargo space without the outdoor adventures (and live in a snow free area) the Nitro might be a good bet. Based on the same construction model and platform as the Jeep Liberty, the Dodge Nitro is underpowered for real off road performance and handling.
The base model offers 20 inch wheels that are chrome plated, tinted windows, keyless entry, reclining rear seats with a 60/40 split, heated mirrors, tilt steering, power accessories, satellite radio, and air conditioning. The CD player comes with an auxiliary jack input slot which is played on a six speaker sound system. If you’re interested in cruise control you have to add it as an accessory, and it comes in a package that includes a compass as well as an outdoor temperature reading.
The base 2011 Dodge Nitro also comes with a 3.7 liter V-6 engine. With the 210 horsepower and the 237 pounds of torque, many critics call it under nourished. The standard option for transmission is a four speed automatic. Fuel efficiency is limited at 16 miles per gallon in the city and 22 highway miles per gallon for the rear wheel drive version, which is also standard. For a vehicle of this size, the ratio is not considered to be adequate. The 0 to 60 miles per hour tests showed that it took a full 9.5 seconds for acceleration. A four wheel drive model is optional on all three versions of the Nitro.
The stability control also comes with an integrated trailer stability system that helps to minimize the natural sway that often happens when towing a trailer. Antilock disc brakes and side curtain airbags make up the list of standard safety features for the base model. If you upgrade, you’ll find rear parking sensors are part of the standard safety equipment list.
While the 2011 Dodge Nitro has not been put through the rigorous testing for the new safety standards, it received a reasonable standard of performance for head on collisions while also receiving a “marginal” notation for side impact crashes. There is only one performance standard below the marginal standard.
With the rear seats in place the cargo space is approximately 32 cubic feet. Once you fold down the rear seats, that space nearly doubles to 65 cubic feet of cargo space.
With a quiet ride and a comfortable ride, the 2011 Dodge Nitro falls short when it comes to acceleration, safety, and lacks good handling. Overall, there seems to be some concerns that the average consumer would like Dodge to address.
