Dodge Journey (Spy)

[Touareg 2.5]

Chrysler toughens up next generation PT Cruiser.

Sometimes the disguise is so heavy, we can only speculate that there's a new car lurking underneath.

Drive's spy photographer claims this is a scoop photo of the redesigned Chrysler PT Cruiser, well ahead of its scheduled 2008/9 launch. Word is Chrysler's moving towards a crossover styling and execution for the funky hatchback. Though, with all the cladding on this prototype vehicle caught testing in a snowy corner of the USA, we can only take their word for it.

The five-door wagon looks to be a size bigger than the current Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, which suggests it'll go into battle against the likes of Nissan's Murano and the Mazda CX-7.

Expect front- and all-wheel drive configurations for the five-door wagon and, while it's too early to confirm engines, our spy tells us a 3.5-litre V6 – shared with the Chrysler Sebring – will be among the options. That should well and truly dispel all bad memories of the underperforming 2.4-litre four-cylinder in the current model.

Oh, and we've been told a Dodge version of this vehicle is in the pipeline

Mi auguro che il cruscotto non abbia neanche una vite di quello che sarà definitivo...

se non fosse per i comandi di radio e clima "moderni" sembrerebbe tranquillamente una plancia degli anni 80.....
