1 week ago | pasmag.com | Lee Bailie

Okay folks, I’m going to do my best here to disentangle the news regarding Dodge’s Charger plans but given the number of variants and launch schedules – not to mention the potential return of V8 engines – this could get messy. So, where are we exactly? Well, late last week Dodge sent out a press release announcing the 2026 Charger Daytona sedan, which is set to arrive in the second half of this year.

But some rays of light break through the clouds every now and then.
Quick Drive – 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS

1 month ago | pasmag.com | Lee Bailie

The Skinny: The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS is not only the most powerful Blazer EV, but it’s the fastest SS (Super Sport) model every built by Chevy.
