Esquire dreams of FIAT, Jeep, Ram Vehicles

The editors of Esquire Magazine wanted to dream a bit, so they selected seven cars they want in their driveways — the “Third Car,” they called it. “Maybe not practical, but sometimes that’s the point,” the editors said. Three of their picks were Chrysler Group vehicles. They selected:

2011 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited Sahara “because men belong out-side, and outside nothing else feels quite right.” Decades after its debut, the Jeep Wrangler remains essentially unchanged, the magazine said. It may not be the ideal commuter car, but there’s a charm here, a distinctly American sense of purpose, the magazine said.

2012 Fiat 500 “because city driving can once again be a thrilling joy.” Buried in the Fiat’s 90.6-inch wheel-base is a giddy, manic soul, Es-quire’s editors said. “What we have here is cask-strength chutzpah — grippy suspension and sticky tires and guts, guts, guts,” the article said. “This is a sports car without the big engine, a live-wire fuel-sipper (38/30 mpg) that lives to snarf up corners and be hurled through otherwise impossible traffic,” Es-quire said.



2011 Ram 1500 Tradesman “because every man needs a truck.” Trucks are tools, and tools aren’t supposed to be flashy, Es-quire said. “By that measure, the HEMI® V-8-powered Ram Tradesman is the best pickup on the market,” the magazine said. At $22,780, it’s cheap enough to buy for occasional use; at 390 hp and 407 lb-ft of torque, it’s powerful enough to haul anything short of the Queen Mary, the article said.
