A brother to the Dodge Nitro, the new Jeep Liberty is larger than the previous model and offers the new Sky Slider roof. It looks almost like a junior Commander, leaving the “cute soft” look to the Jeep Compass.

More on the Dodge Demon…
February 14, 2007 on 12:32 pm | In Concepts, Dodge, General | No CommentsAutoExpress offered a few more tidbits on the Dodge Demon concept…
Set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the Dodge Demon is a striking two-seater. While bosses are still calling it a concept, it’s closer to the showroom than you might think. Officials are remaining tight-lipped, but the cabrio is tipped to go into production next year.
As with the Chrysler Crossfire, the Demon uses underpinnings from the previous-generation Mercedes SLK - this is the key to the car’s affordable development costs, and should help to keep prices competitive. Featuring the latest Dodge face, the newcomer fits perfectly into the current line-up. At the front, its huge grille is flanked by headlamps inspired by those on the Viper, plus a low airdam.
EDIT: More rumours have the Demon based off the Mercedes A/B-Class. Hopefully come Geneva, we’ll get a definitive answer.
