While talks of autonomous testing and self-driving cars are widely active right now, there still remains the question of when. To hopefully bring the reality that much closer to the consumer market, the Google Self-Driving Project and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles are kicking off what they're calling a first-of-its-kind collaboration.

Lately, we here at Patterson Chrysler Dodge Ram Jeep have found it increasingly difficult to contain our enthusiasm for our resident sports coupe sensation, the 2016 Dodge Challenger. We feel the American automaker knocked this one clean out of the park.

When we hear about a legendary rock face here at Patterson Chrysler Dodge RAM Jeep, we instantly want to figure out how to scale it, and when it comes to legendary rocks, the Lion’s Back in Moab, UT is one hulking obstacle.

Ralph Gilles is a major fan of the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.

He's also FCA's Global Head of Design, and the lead designer for the new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica minivan. The two would seem to be at odds, until Gilles reconciled his interests into one stunning Pacifica Hellcat concept.
