Dodge Journey, lest you forgot, is coming soon
We first saw the Dodge Journey crossover vehicle at the 2007 L.A. Auto Show. Dodge's intention is to provide all-wheel-drive capability (good for towing and inclement weather) with the kind of clever packaging and canny seating normally found in minivans. Yet the Journey is still a convenient size.
The entry-level, front-wheel-drive SE model is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. The all-wheel-drive SXT and R/T Journey versions come with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 235 hp and 232 lb-ft of torque, coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission.
The Journey is expected to go on sale in the first quarter of 2008, as a 2009 model, with a starting price of $19,985.
