			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The first off roaders that were produced came from the stable of jeep. They were the first company to introduce the concept of vehicles for off road purposes. They were the people who introduced the SUVs. Since then, there has been a huge demand for the off roaders around the world. This article gives the information about the jeep cj.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The company has introduced a lot of models and they have been very successful too. They produce trucks, heavy vehicles, and off roaders. The various off roaders of jeep were jeep cj, jeep sj, jeep dj, jeep mj.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-43"></span>They used to give the vehicles which are used by these great people as a memento. The jeep company tried to find an alternative to this and decided to give some sort of a civilian vehicle which has a better look. This is the reason for the development of the new model Jeep CJ.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This model was designed based on a military model jeep which has a good reach among the public, mainly, with people who has much passion towards the nation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These vehicles were provided with very powerful engines. They usually were provided with four by four drive facility. These vehicles didn&#8217;t provide a lot of driving comfort as they were built mainly for off road purposes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was an agricultural vehicle that looked very much akin to military vehicle. So they have decided to make some changes in the engine of the vehicle similar to the one that was used for military purpose. The company was successful in selling about two million units which is really a huge success.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Jeep has introduced a number of models over the years. Almost every model has been received with great enthusiasm. The models rolled out by jeep are jeep cj, jeep dj, jeep sj, jeep mj. They have even introduced various other products such as trucks and heavy vehicles.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When there is a war that has been won by a country there is a very big contribution by the armed forces of that country. During this time the civilians of the country also want to be a part of the war. They need some kind of a memento. One thing that could be used are the vehicles used by military personnel in the war.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The other model that needs a mention in the jeep cj&#8217;s story is the cj4. It was the vehicle that was created with the Willy&#8217;s hurricane engine. It was expected to be a huge success. But it didn&#8217;t even go to the actual mass production stage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Manufacturing of Jeep CJ4 was stopped only as a prototype. The company felt that it was not up to the mark and the thought of production of the vehicle was left behind.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This was an improvement upon cj5. It has a longer wheel base as compared to that of the cj5. They were mainly produced for export purposes. They were mainly exported to countries such as Sweden and to countries in South America. The other major user of this model jeeps were the US Forest service.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-226" title="Chevrolet-Captiva" src="http://www.autohitsportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Chevrolet-Captiva.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="179" />A flashback of a road scene a decade back and then comparing the same with the current scenario will let you wonder how the four wheelers, especially cars, have multiplied in alarming numbers. New cars introduced in India over the years have always drawn attention from car connoisseurs and the car lover is all tempted to buy more though he/she may already have two or three or more or may not even have the parking space! Amid the new cars in India, the Chevrolet Captiva LT or the Captiva LTZ is worth mentioning. These cars by GM will automatically grab your attention on the roads with their exquisite exterior looks. Before you buy a Chevrolet Captiva, check the Captiva price as this factor differs from city to city. Go for a test drive so that you are fully satisfied with the performance level. To confirm the Captiva price, you can visit your nearest Chevrolet showroom or browse through the web. Viewing the features, technical specifications and reading user comments and reviews will further help you take the decision.</p>
<p>Power-packed with a range of the latest features, the striking Chevrolet Captiva is a luxury to own. The Captiva price (ex-showroom) in Mumbai is Rs. 18,37,768 and compared to other brands, it is reasonable. It has all the essentialities to make it the preferred choice by many amongst the new cars in India. The sturdy exterior looks, improvised body design, sizzling wheels and more have sparked up anticipation in the market, enticing car buyers to go for a test drive. Once you ride the car, you will fall in love with it, and will end up buying it! In the SUV car segment, General Motors is playing the first fiddle with the introduction of its Chevrolet Captiva in the variants of Chevrolet Captiva LT and the Captiva LTZ. Both diesel variants come with almost similar features with the latter carrying some extra advantages. While the Chevrolet Captiva LT has a manually handled 5-speed gearbox, the Captiva LTZ comes with the automatic transmission standard, facilitating easy and quiet shifting into high gear. This is due to the carbon-fiber material used in the transmission, enabling you go from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.7 secs. The elegant bold look and a commanding driving position make the Captiva worth buying.</p>
<p>The exterior features of the Chevrolet Captiva with its large 6-spoke alloy wheels and tubeless tyres, satin silver finish bumpers, cylindrical prism type headlamps, LED signal lamps, turn signal repeaters, chrome door handles, etc. make it look grand. Further, the interiors speak volume with ergonomically designed dashboard, flexi-type seating, audio controls, dual front airbags, and more. Power-driven by a 2.0-litre inline-4 turbocharged diesel engine incorporating VCDi fuel injection technology, you enjoy a solid 148 bhp engine power. The variable geometry turbocharger is electrically controlled, which maintains the speed perfectly whether you are driving in the highway or the city. The load capacity is awesome; the Chevrolet Captiva is always stable on the road no matter the load as it rides on a self-leveling independent suspension.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-189" title="Mazda Tribute" src="http://www.autohitsportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Mazda-Tribute.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />The Mazda Tribute is a compact SUV that is avidly known for the way that it handles itself on the road, the surprisingly close comparison to a car ride, and amazing engine performance. Anyone that has had the opportunity to take the Mazda Tribute for a drive will avidly have to admit that this miniature SUV handles great on the road.</p>
<p>If you were to ask someone to drive the vehicle and measure it by its driving abilities, many people would be shocked to find out that its an SUV not a small car. The Tribute comes with a powerful V6 engine that adds to the amount of power that you can expect to experience with the vehicle.</p>
<p>The Tribute first debuted in 2001. Upon making its debut Mazda automatically began referring to this clever SUV as the Miata version to all other SUV&#8217;s.</p>
<p>You can carry up to five passengers in the vehicle at one consecutive time. The cabin has everything that you would ever look for in a vehicle and the SUV always delivers.</p>
<p>There are three different models of the Tribute available. You have the option to choose from one of three either the Sport, Touring or grand touring edition.</p>
<p>For some, a V6 engine seems a little too powerful. If you are someone that feels that you simply cannot handle a V6 engine then you should opt to get one of the 4 cylinder style Tributes instead.</p>
<p>The overall ride quality that you will experience when you drive this vehicle cannot be compared with that of other SUVs. The vehicle can avidly be used to haul things around with or to serve as your primary family car.</p>
<p>The Mazda Tribute is clearly the best in its class. It drives incredibly well, is equipped to handle anything that your passengers may need while traveling with you and best of all its extremely attractive as far as its external as well as its internal appearance is concerned.</p>
<p>The crazy thing is, despite all the great things that the Tribute encompasses, many people are not giving it the attention that it deserves. The Tribute is a great SUV and many people have not been able to experience it for what it is. Larger SUV&#8217;s are trying to take the Tribute&#8217;s spotlight and in all do respects they do not come close to what the Tribute delivers.</p>
<p>If you have a knack for recognizing a great vehicle, then you have probably already come to the conclusion that the Tribute is an awesome vehicle that is clearly misunderstood.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-171" title="Jeep Wrangler" src="http://www.autohitsportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Jeep-Wrangler1.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />A Jeep Wrangler is a compact 4&#215;4 sports utility vehicle that debuted in 1987. The Jeep Wrangler succeeds the jeep of World War II and has become a true American icon. Jeeps are best known for being rugged off road military vehicles. The civilian jeep better known as the CJ was inspired by the military jeeps and became the predecessor of the Jeep Wrangler.</p>
<p>The Jeep Wrangler was a vast improvement over the CJ. The new Jeep Wrangler design offered far more passenger comfort, a larger wheel base, less ground clearance and the signature square headlights. These new enhancements made for a vehicle that was versatile both off and on road, appealing to a diverse group of consumers.</p>
<p>Modeled after the CJ, the Wrangler preserved the live axels positioned in the front and rear of the vehicle. The Wrangler a vehicle with optimum power and a tough exterior appealed to a more diverse group of consumers. The Wrangler, an enjoyable vehicle had revised mechanics causing a reduction in off road performance. These alterations caused the outdoor off road advocates to dislike the Wranglers. The newly created Wrangler quickly became identified as the &#8220;Yuppie Jeep&#8221;. Once acknowledged for its versatility and adaptability, the outdoor and off road enthusiast began to accept the Wrangler.</p>
<p>In addition to the off road ruggedness and fun of the Wrangler, it is also a smart daily on road vehicle. The purchase price of the Jeep Wrangler is the lowest in comparison to the other 4&#215;4 sports utility vehicles. The Jeep Wrangler has also been named as one of the best vehicles to hold its value. Not to mention, it also ranks in the top four for best resale value.</p>
<p>The Wrangler was designed and founded by AMC in 1987. After the unveiling of the Wrangler, AMC sold out to Chrysler, who then created the Jeep Division. The Wrangler was originally manufactured in Ontario Canada until the plant shut down in 1992. Manufacturing was then transferred to the Toledo Ohio plants where Wranglers are now generated from.</p>
<p>In 1997 Chrysler then redesigned the classic Wrangler adding additional features. The new features included a wider track width, lower center of gravity, higher ground clearance and anti-sway bars. The Wrangler held true to its original round headlight design but became more consumer friendly by become a better ride and added handling capabilities.</p>
<p>Trying to stay ahead of the market, Chrysler released yet another revised model of the Wrangler in 2007. The new design added features such as a four door model with longer body style and added passenger comfort. However, Chrysler reserved the two door shorter body style Wrangler for the outdoor off road fans. Appealing to a broader range of purchasers made the Wrangler even more popular than before.</p>
<p>Signifying rugged durable fun, the Wrangler has also embodied all aspects of a smart vehicle. Purchasers can rest assured that whether it is affordable fun or modern convenience, the Jeep Wrangler can offer both.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-139" title="Honda Pilot" src="http://www.autohitsportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Honda-Pilot.png" alt="" width="300" height="185" />Honda unveiled the next generation Pilot with some mixed reviews about the design. The new 2009 Pilot has a boxier, brawnier look than the previous version but this design could take a little getting used to.</p>
<p>The body is larger and longer and looks less like a crossover but instead like a small SUV. The headlights are also boxy and are much larger and winder than before. The enormous grill, which is becoming a staple of Honda&#8217;s 2009 line-up, reminds me of the large grill on the new Acura MDX.</p>
<p>The rear quarter panel is more boxy than before and similar in style to the 2008 Jeep Liberty. The back also looks similar to another Chrysler vehicle, the Chrysler Aspen from some angles. The rear taillights are also a bit similar to the new Dodge Caravan. Inspiration from Chrysler? Maybe, maybe not.</p>
<p>Moving inside the steering wheel has been redesigned. A major change is the relocation of the shifter from the column to the lower dashboard.</p>
<p>Even though technological practicality is the theme of the interior there are more buttons which on the center console and arm rests. This ads functionality to the vehicle and more options for the driver but it seems there are too many buttons and knobs which can confuse or even distract the driver.</p>
