...face a weather-beaten mask of intensity, glares into the camera. The group's tag-along priest blesses them over the Holy Bible. The team then storms the mansion and the resulting melee is chaotic and bloody, consisting mostly of vampires getting harpooned and dragged outside by a Jeep winch, where they burst into flames and are reduced to a pile of ashes. It's a crummy job, but somebody's gotta...
From the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee to the all-new BMW 3 Series sports sedans, the 1999 vehicles now rolling into showrooms are bigger, faster and more powerful than their forerunners, which is only fitting for the final model year of this automotive century. What's more surprising, perhaps, is that many of them are cheaper as well. The new cars and trucks boast some of the most technically advanced features ever loaded on as standard equipment--items such as a computerized traction-control system for the Chrysler 300M, and a keyless entry system for the BMW models that also...
...market remains more hotly contested than the one for sport-utility vehicles, which account for 18% of all U.S. car and truck sales. Chrysler has spent more than $2.65 billion to expand the interior and improve the ride of its new Jeep Grand Cherokee, which will cost about $250 less than the 1998 model because features like the CD player will no longer be extra.

Driving her Jeep along the beach at Praia do Forte in northern Brazil, she hits the brakes and suddenly does something surprising. She points with pride to a big 400-room resort hotel intruding upon the sea turtles' habitat. "We persuaded the owner to keep buildings low and use unobtrusive lighting," she explains...
...with his 6-ft. 2-in., 230-lb. frame hunched in the backseat of a speeding Jeep Grand Cherokee, Fieger didn't seem in the mood to sit quietly through a holy event. It would only interrupt his nonstop rant about the shortcomings of his opponent, Republican incumbent John Engler. "He's a cheater, a liar and a coward," said Fieger. "He's a man of mediocre intelligence who's never done anything in life but suck off the public trough." The Engler camp, meanwhile, is clinging desperately to higher ground. "Fieger can roll in the mud by himself," says...
