One hundred. It's such a nice round number. And now Chrysler is making it even nicer.
The automaker is upping its game by a nice 100 percent, offering a vehicle that is comparable to both the Ford Focus and Honda Civic in terms of small-car handling but that has the reliable name and styling of a Chrysler. The automaker that has brought the Chrysler Town & Country to satisfied Skokie drivers for years is preparing to introduce the Chrysler 100 to the auto market for 2013.
As all drivers in Northfield with a used Jeep Wrangler know, this automaker really knows its stuff. That's one reason why the company sold 122,460 Wranglers last year, which adds up to a 30-percent rise over 2010 sales. The increases weren't limited to the automaker's home market, though, as sales outside of the United States rose 10 percent to 26,278 last year.
The motto throughout much of America is "family comes first." Fortunately, for families that feel that way, Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge now has the family vehicle that comes in first as well. That's because the 2012 Chrysler Town & Country has been named the "Best Family Hauler" by Detroit News Readers' Choice for the seventh consecutive year.
We all know about the dream that Martin Luther King Jr. had decades ago, but we at Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge don't believe he had any idea with what strength his vision would catch on. Certainly he did not have a national holiday in his honor in mind when he worked tirelessly for Civil Rights, but his legacy has been undeniable.
That's why more than 150 employees of Chrysler Group LLC will be adopting a full week of community service activities beginning today, the holiday honoring King's birthday.
We all know that Chrysler does a great job manufacturing cars. And we're not just saying that because we represent Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge - it's true! Cars represent our industry, our passion and our expertise, and we're proud of the work we've done over the last year.
What others may not know is that our work doesn't stop at the edge of our showroom floor, or even our parking lot. We're doing whatever we can to improve lives, whether we're talking about the safety and comfort of the drivers who purchase our vehicles…
Remember Spinal Tap and the amps that go up to 11? If guitar sound was important enough to up the amp to 11, imagine how high of a number carmakers could put on safety. The importance of safety is limitless, but when it comes to Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Fiat, the number 11 is where it's at.
It's pretty impossible to avoid the truth. We run into reminders in every store and restaurant, down every street we drive, and even in the faces of children. Christmas is only a handful of days away, and that means the whole jolly world is in full holiday season.
That includes, of course, Jeep and Ram automakers. They're playing Santa again this year with their Haul-A-Day promotion, which gives Jeep Skokiedrivers and enthusiasts plenty of opportunities to clean up on the Christmas loot. But these presents may not fit under the tree. That's not to say that…
"Hey now, you're an all star!"
Maybe it's just a taste of that Smashmouth song we all rocked out to a few years back, but it's really about the sentiment, isn't it? We all want to be the all stars in our own lives, and now Skokie Dodge drivers have the opportunity to be behind the wheel of an all star.
