customer satisfaction. Town & Country won in the "Minivan" category and

AutoPacific's Vehicle Satisfaction
Award is an industry benchmark for measuring how satisfied an owner is with
his/her new vehicle. This study by the Southern California-based automotive
research firm summarizes the results of more than 68,000 new vehicle
owners.
"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."
For 2011, every Chrysler brand
vehicle is new or significantly refreshed, resulting in beautifully crafted
vehicles with new powertrains, upgraded suspensions, world-class interiors and
an exhilarating driving experience.
"We are honored that the
satisfaction experienced by our owners with their new Chrysler vehicle has resulted
in winning the 'Top Popular Brand' in AutoPacific's Vehicle Satisfaction
Awards," said Mr. Hopkins.
"Chrysler is passionate about
building vehicles that customers are proud to own, and this award, based on
owner feedback, reinforces the 2011 Chrysler lineup does just that."
Accolades continue to mount for the
Jeep brand's premium SUV, as the Grand Cherokee received the highest spot in
vehicle satisfaction for the "Premium Mid-size SUV" category.
"The AutoPacific Vehicle
Satisfaction Award is another important accolade for the all-new Jeep Grand
Cherokee, and the 30th award the vehicle has captured," Mr. Hopkins said.
"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."
