2015 Chrysler 300 is Perfect for Summer Road Trips

Summer is here and one of the greatest things about that time is that for many it marks the time when many are getting ready to head out on vacation.  In anticipation of that, Kelly Blue Book put together a list of the ‘Road Trip Cars of 2015.’

Number 5 on the list happened to be the 2015 Chrysler 300.  Their reasoning for putting a four door sedan on this is that it gets the road tripping done in a way that is “…in a distinctly American way.”  The highlight that KBB focuses on is the V8 engine.  With the power and the torque that it provides, it makes driving on any highway a breeze.  On a closing note, the benefit of it looking like a cop car could come in handy when dealing with traffic.

What KBB doesn’t go into is the comfort.  The 2015 Chrysler 300 is listed on Ward’s 10 Best Interiors.  The seating is made of quality craftsmanship and leather-trim is standard on all models.  Other features that help any road tripper are blind spot monitoring and rear cross path detection.

Chrysler Plug-in Hybrid Minivan Could be Gamechanger

2015 Town and County - ChryslerDealerNY - 01

The brand chief of Chrysler remarked on the news of the upcoming Chrysler Town & Country plug-in hybrid minivan as a game changer, and he may be really right on this one.

Al Gardner, Chrysler’s brand chief, was interviewed about what to expect from this new hybrid minivan and he was feeling very proud of it.

“If we can produce something that is incredibly efficient, that you can 30, 40 miles with zero tank of gas – that will get you a combined – let’s call it 75, 80 eMPG – it’s a gamechanging number.”

It is difficult not to agree with him.  If Chrysler is indeed able to hit those numbers he was speaking of, they could be on the verge of giving the market a minivan unlike anything else.  The plug-in hybrid is something that could really give the automaker a boost in the more environment-friendly vehicles it has been lacking in in comparison to the other car manufacturers.  Even more interesting is that it will be in the minivan segment.

“The first to market that can produce family vehicles that are efficient – I think we’d agree we’re a little behind the times – we need to be that and the Chrysler brand is the perfect to do that for FCA.”

Again, agree with that idea.  Most hybrids come in the form of a sedan, something meant for drivers with few passengers.  If Chrysler is able to get that tech onto a family minivan, they could be giving the public something it needs.  The people who need help with saving money are the ones in the larger vans, to be able to cut down on fuel consumption and give that market something like this could be a real boon.  I only hope that Chrysler has a plan of how to achieve this goal and not simply be speaking big.  We’ll see when Chrysler is estimated to deliver, which will be awhile.

Eminem, Eastwood, And Detroit: A Look Back At Chrysler’s Best Super Bowl Ads

Chrysler Super Bowl Eminem

Chrysler is going all out for Super Bowl XLIX, premiering not one but three new Chrysler ads during the broadcast. They are keeping the commercials tightly under wraps for Sunday’s game, but for now, let’s take a look back at the big Chrysler Super Bowl commercials of the past five years.

“Man’s Last Stand” – 2010

Chrysler’s big Super Bowl spot was “Man’s Last Stand” which specifically featured the Dodge Charger. This is more humorous than the subsequent Chrysler ads, and the best line is easily, “I will watch your vampire TV shows with you.”

“Born Of Fire” – 2011

“Born Of Fire” came out of the gate in 2011 and took the ad world by storm, winning numerous awards and accolades. More importantly, though, it was a powerful reflection of Chrysler and Detroit defying the odds and finding a comeback.

“Halftime In America” – 2012

When Chrysler gets a star to narrate their Super Bowl ads, they only get the best. Clint Eastwood’s “Halftime In America” is a Super Bowl classic.

“Farmer” – 2013

This love letter to the American farmer featured some absolutely gorgeous shots of the heartland and Ram’s powerful trucks in action. “Farmer” captured audiences’ attentions without talking animals, sexualized imagery, or childish humor usually found in Super Bowl commercials.

“America’s Import” 2014

“America’s Import” asked the question, “Is there anything more American than America?” Bob Dylan’s narration combined with the imagery of diners, Marilyn Monroe, biker gangs, and Chrysler employees hard at work was unforgettable.
