Engineering and development of various aspects of vehicle engines has advanced over time to give us more of what we want on the road. That also means many have gone away.
With the increase in power we can find from smaller engines there are several engines that we admired in the past that are no longer built. Let’s take a moment to admire these engines and remember what they offered us for the vehicle we drove in the past.
One of the most anticipated models to come to the automotive market and the worst-kept secret is the Jeep Gladiator midsize off-road pickup.

As FCA has worked on a regular basis to find a great way to have the ability to put the Hellcat engine under the hood of whatever version of their models they choose, the most recent vehicle to benefit from this impressive engine is the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. This is a large SUV that can be perfect for a family to have the ride you want on the road, or the fun of an amazing ride out on the track when it’s time to have a drag race.

The SUV world has changed to the point that now we have more speed in this class and less utility, which means you should look at this list.
When you think of the Jeep Grand Cherokee you can immediately know you’ve thought of an excellent large SUV, but this is the flagship SUV from Jeep that brings in a large number of choices when it comes to the trim levels and qualities you can have for this amazing vehicle. You’ll be able to begin at a comfortable model that has the power and qualities that make driving easier for you and head up to the Trackhawk trim that is powered by the insane Hellcat engine that we’ve come to know.
Automakers love to advertise their vehicles with the awards they earn to show off what the vehicle has been recognized for. As we head closer to the official beginning of the new 2018 model year the contenders for one of the most prestigious awards have begun to line up and become available to be judged. One of the first awards to be offered for this new model year is the North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year. These awards see a large number of vehicles vying for recognition and the right to take to the screen and show off this trophy during commercials.
Typically if a new model is expected for the next model year at least a concept version is offered at the Detroit Auto Show but no such luck was the case regarding the new Jeep Wrangler. In fact the news is we might not see the production or concept models until the fall of this year and the sales won’t begin until January, at least that’s a real possibility. Even so, we do have an idea of what this new version of the Wrangler will be for the future of the model lineup that we’ll continue to love.
The challenge many automakers have when they build a compact SUV is making sure the vehicle is still capable of being used on and off the road. The Jeep Patriot doesn’t have that problem and as an actual Jeep this SUV comes to you at a great price and offers the benefit of the drive you want to enjoy at a price you can afford. When you need your compact SUV to drive like a car but give you the performance that’s similar to larger SUV’s, the Jeep Patriot makes a great choice for all your driving needs.

In a world where every car has a new class and it feels manufacturers are trying hard to have vehicles that can easily fit into a variety of categories I’m not sure what a normal car is anymore. If we define a normal car as one that looks like it should be made for driving on the commute to and from work then we still have a large variety, but for the most part we all know what a normal car is. What we don’t know is that some of these cars are made to be exciting to drive and are capable of turning even the stodgiest of us into an enthusiast with a huge smile on our faces.
