Another big Toyota recall

Here we go again: The Detroit Free Press reports that Toyota is recalling over 1.5 million Toyota Avalon and Lexus models worldwide (but mostly in the U.S. and Japan) due to leaking seals in the brake master cylinder in some models, while others (none in the U.S.) have an electrical problem with the fuel pump which could cause the engine to stall.

The 2011 Dodge Journey gets a better interior—and more

The Dodge revision continues: Automotive News is reporting that Dodge has revised the interior in the Journey crossover. There is a new instrument panel, center stack, new steering wheel, heating and cooling vents, a U Connect Touch system with Garmin Navigation and Voice recognition, and more. By the way, for those interested in horsepower numbers, the 2011 Journey will receive the Pentastar V6 engine with 283 hp.
