PARIS. CITY OF LIGHTS, CITY OF LOVE, CITY OF STYLE AND
sophistication. Where better to put Chrysler’s new Crossfire SRT-6 through its
paces and test reaction to its sleek and sensuous shape, as alluring as Bardot in her
prime. I can tell you the Crossfire hits the target on all counts. Not only does it look
stunning but it has big all-American performance to match – the latest in a line of
Chryslers that come with inspiration as standard.
And inspiration is what we’ll hope you’ll find within the pages of this magazine,
whether it’s in choosing your next model, in customising your car to better fit your
lifestyle, or even in discovering new and exciting ideas for your leisure time. We
know life’s a whirl, so let us transport you to a brighter, lighter place – just one of
the rewards of being part of the community of Chrysler Group vehicle owners.
We swap the elegant boulevards of Paris for the rugged, windswept landscapes of
Snowdonia for our special adventure feature on the Jeep® Cherokee. With its
unrivalled go-anywhere, do-anything pedigree, the Jeep brand is one of a kind. We
also have news from Detroit of the 2006 Jeep Wrangler, not so much a car as a way
of life. The icon has been nipped and tucked in a few areas, and a new range of
hardcore Authentic Jeep Accessories from Mopar® give it more appeal than ever.
This year heralds the arrival of a remarkable new car from a legendary brand, one
that’s part of the Chrysler Group family. The Dodge Caliber is the compact
hatchback with big attitude at an exceptional price. Expect to see it at your
Chrysler Jeep dealership soon. As you’ll see inside, the Dodge Caliber rewrites the
rules of small car design and is loaded with innovative, street-smart features.
Elsewhere in this issue, we visit the Windy City of Chicago for a look at a famous
Chrysler cop car, we show you 10 great family getaways this summer, and we look
ahead to Camp Jeep® in Croatia. For more information on any of the stories in this
magazine, plus lots of interactive fun stuff, visit www.freedom.com
It’s your Freedom. Make the most of it.

CITY OF LIGHTS, CITY OF LOVE, CITY OF STYLE AND sophistication. Where better to put Chrysler’s new Crossfire SRT-6 through its paces and test reaction to its sleek and sensuous shape, as alluring as Bardot in her prime. I can tell you the Crossfire hits the target on all counts. Not only does it look stunning but it has big all-American performance to match – the latest in a line of Chryslers that come with inspiration as standard. And inspiration is what we’ll hope you’ll find within the pages of this magazine, whether it’s in choosing your next model, in customising your car to better fit your lifestyle, or even in discovering new and exciting ideas for your leisure time. We know life’s a whirl, so let us transport you to a brighter, lighter place – just one of the rewards of being part of the community of Chrysler Group vehicle owners. We swap the elegant boulevards of Paris for the rugged, windswept landscapes of Snowdonia for our special adventure feature on the Jeep® Cherokee. With its unrivalled go-anywhere, do-anything pedigree, the Jeep brand is one of a kind. We also have news from Detroit of the 2006 Jeep Wrangler, not so much a car as a way of life. The icon has been nipped and tucked in a few areas, and a new range of hardcore Authentic Jeep Accessories from Mopar® give it more appeal than ever. This year heralds the arrival of a remarkable new car from a legendary brand, one that’s part of the Chrysler Group family. The Dodge Caliber is the compact hatchback with big attitude at an exceptional price. Expect to see it at your Chrysler Jeep dealership soon. As you’ll see inside, the Dodge Caliber rewrites the rules of small car design and is loaded with innovative, street-smart features. Elsewhere in this issue, we visit the Windy City of Chicago for a look at a famous Chrysler cop car, we show you 10 great family getaways this summer, and we look ahead to Camp Jeep® in Croatia.
