At the recent Texas Auto Roundup in Fort Worth, Chrysler
Group walked away with a total of six awards for their Dodge, SRT, and Chrysler
brands.
The Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) gave away a total
of 19 awards at the Texas Auto Roundup, so with six awards, Chrysler took home
nearly a third of the available awards and more awards than any other
manufacturer. The 2014 Dodge Dart won Compact Car of Texas. The 2014 Jeep Cherokee
SRT won Performance Utility Vehicle of Texas. Chrysler took the most with the
2015 Chrysler 200 winning Mid-size Sedan of Texas, the 2014 Town & Country
winning Minivan of Texas, the 2014 Chrysler 300 winning Full-size Sedan of
Texas, and 2014 Town & Country winning Family Car of Texas.
Michael Marrs, President of TAWA, explained why the Texas
Auto Roundup was a great venue for the vehicles, saying, “This event allows us
to experience manufacturers’ products in a first-hand comparison. The design,
capability and versatility of Chrysler Group products really stood out among
the competition.”
Reid Bigland, Head of U.S. Sales at Chrysler Group, thanked
TAWA for the honor, calling the six wins “a testament to our hard work this
year.”
“We continue to improve our vehicle lineup,” Bigland stated,
“and we’re pleased that TAWA gave our brands their vote of confidence once
again.”
