Grand Rapids Family Car Buyers Proud To Be Driving top Popular Brand In Chrysler

Moving up in the world of the auto, Chrysler skipped up 19 places to be named Top Popular Brand in the 15th Annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards by AutoPacific. Grand Rapids family car buyers will also be proud of the individual awards given to Chrysler models: kudos to the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country in the Minivan class and top of the Premium Mid-size SUV for the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Not only has Chrysler made a turn-around in its marketing, but the upgraded and reasonably-priced models are a hit with customers. The Jeep brand alone has earned 30 awards since last summer when it debuted and other models are raking in awards right and left as well.
This AutoPacific award is an industry measurement when it comes to how well satisfied new vehicle owners are with what they are driving. Your Grand Rapids used car dealer is thrilled to offer the top brand.
"Vehicles that score highest in the Vehicle Satisfaction Awards are delivering value and satisfaction across a wide range of attributes, performing well in 48 separate categories that objectively measure the ownership experience, George Peterson, President of AutoPacific, said. "The new Chrysler Town & Country and Jeep Grand Cherokee demonstrate that Chrysler's new approach to product execution is resonating with buyers."

Chrysler really stepped it up with the 2011 models, revamping or refreshing them all and with everything from the body line to the seats to the powertrains being tweaked, customers are taking notice. Buyers of Grand Rapids family cars will have a hard time deciding which amazing model fits their family best, although I might lean toward the Jeep Grand Cherokee for my family.

"The AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Award is another important accolade for the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the 30th award the vehicle has captured," said Mike Manley, President and CEO Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "Few vehicles ever reach this level of recognition. At Jeep, we are delighted that consumers, as well as influential opinion leaders, are recognizing Grand Cherokee's exceptional blend of on-road refinement, legendary real-world capability, craftsmanship, premium design, safety, efficiency and value."

However, for those who are the minivan type (Im still avoiding that label), the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country is a great choice, as are the pre-owned models at your Grand Rapids used car dealer. This is an elegant vehicle with lots of interior features to please the whole family.

More sophisticated than your average minivan, the Town & Country has comfortable yet stowable seating and all kinds of safety and entertainment features that will delight parents and children alike. It seats up to seven and is even priced, well-equipped, at a family-friendly $30,995.
