Here at Courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge we have first-hand experience with the longevity and lasting power of the Jeep brand. We know that when you buy a Jeep, you're buying an American icon, one with enduring value that can be passed down from generation to generation.

The 2012 Jeep Wrangler recently received this year's ALG Residual Value Award. From ALG, the industry's ultimate authority on automotive value, the 4x4 Wrangler took home the award in the "Compact Utilities" category.

The new Jeep Wrangler maintains the classic Jeep styling known the world over, while increasing its horsepower by 40 percent! The trail-rated Wrangler also features improved fuel-efficiency: A 21 mpg highway capability with its 3.6-liter V-6 engine.

Want to be the ultimate Detroit Red Wings fan on your block? Having the new Red Wings Edition Ram 1500 Express in your driveway might help!

Ram known for its "Guts. Glory. Ram." tagline, was a perfect fit for a team who can bring a new meaning to "HEMI-Powered Hockey!" Now Ram is amping up their partnership with the Detroit Red Wings by releasing a limited edition Ram Express 1500 model.

The "Official Truck of the Red Wings" will feature the Detroit Red Wings logo on the front-seat headrests, with optional Red Wings embroidered leather seats. The "Detroit Red Wings Edition" graphic will also appear on the truck's tailgate, and rear-bed sides.

Based off the recently introduced Ram Express 1500 4x4 Crew Cab model, the Red Wings Edition comes in the appropriate Hockeytown fan colors: red, white and black.

The Red Wings Rams will only be available in extremely limited qualities, but Courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge is one of the just 90 dealerships who will be selling the special edition trucks!

Stay tuned to our Facebook for further updates on when we will be receiving our Red Wings Rams, so you can come in and check out the "Official Truck of the Red Wings" for yourself!

2012 Special Editions: Dodge Charger Super Bee, Yellow Jacket Dodge Challenger

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="2012 Dodge Charger Super Bee SRT8"][/caption]

We're buzzing with excitement over the special edition 2012 Dodge Charger Super Bee and Dodge Challenger Yellow Jacket!

The stunning Stinger Yellow paired with Pitch Black paint-job is not a subtle statement, so if you're looking for a car that will blend in at a Grand Rapids stop-light: These are not the cars for you.

2012 Dodge Charger Super Bee SRT8:

The Dodge Charger's Super Bee package is a nod to classic car nostalgia. As a timeless muscle car, no matter the year, from its introduction to the Charger family in 1971 to its all-new 2012 model, the Super Bee special editions have always added a touch of drive-out-loud style to the Dodge model line.

Not to be out-done by its head-turning exterior, the Super Bee's race-inspired cloth interior is accented with yellow and silver striping and stitching, accompanied by a unique dash plaque featuring the Charger Super Bee logo.

2012 Dodge Challenger Yellow Jacket SRT:

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="565" caption="2012 Dodge Challenger SRT Yellow Jacket"][/caption]

This heritage high-performance model is inspired from the 1970 Dodge Challenger. The 2012 Yellow Jacket edition features a new Yellow Jacket logo on its Stinger Yellow accent band, and a 470 horsepower, HEMI V-8 engine to back up its sting-worthy stylings. The Challenger carries its Yellow Jacket theme into the interior with its embroidered silver-stitched Yellow Jacket logo.

These special edition muscle cars will make its world debut later this month at the LA Auto Show. Orders are tentatively scheduled for December, with the models hopefully landing in West Michigan dealerships in early 2012.

Which Dodge special edition would you like to get stung by?
