Jeep Grand Cherokee is the “Official Winter Vehicle of New England”

2014 Jeep Grand CherokeeWinning one accolade is reason enough to be excited. When you win three in one night, it’s time to throw a party!

Jeep is the proud winner of three more trophies to line-up on their ever-growing case. The shiny new awards come from the New England Motor Press Association’s (NEMPA) annual industry dinner. Mike Manley, the President and CEO of Jeep Brand, was on-hand to accept the awards, two of which were for the vehicles and one was for him.

Manley was given the 2013 Executive award due to the Jeep brand’s outstanding product line and their commitment to New England. The NEMPA President Keith Griffin presented it to him.

“During Mike Manley’s tenure, Jeep has enjoyed a renaissance applauded by both consumers- with ever-increasing sales- and by automotive writers, who have heaped awards upon the Grand Cherokee,” Griffin praised.

As he noted, the Grand Cherokee was the reason Jeep earned so much praise. For the third year in a row, the Grand Cherokee earned “Official Winter Vehicle of New England.” It won thanks to its combination of being an all-weather beast on and off the road while still offering comfort and luxury at value prices.

The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee was the winner of the last award. It won the “Previously Owned Vehicle of the Year” from Wheels TV.

The Jeep, and the Grand Cherokee in particular, has always been a favorite of being handed awards. What matters most is that people see the reason why so much acclaim is given to the brand. Jeep is a company that backs up its trophies by maintaining a quality in their products few others can match.

Jeep Drives to Florida for a Jeep Party!

UntitledEven Jeep deserves a vacation.

Five whole days were dedicated to all things Jeep over the weekend thanks to the Mid-Florida Jeep Club. They pulled all their rides together to party with Jeep owners from all over. Saturday was the big day with everyone heading to the Daytona International Speedway to compete in a “show-n-shine” competition. It wasn’t all about looks though, it was also about showing off the capabilities that make the Jeep so infamous. That’s why the beauty pageant potion of the contest was only the half of it. Next up was the obstacle course.

This year was a big one for the event. It marked their 10th anniversary. It’s very popular with Jeep drivers who come not just from nearby Florida, but even as far away as Alaska!

Joe Hogan, a first time attendee, was drawn in not just by his appreciation of Jeep, but also as a thing to do with his family. “I think it’s a family oriented vehicle,” he said. “You can come out and have fun with your family and your friends.”

The event also isn’t just about showing enthusiasts cool Jeeps, it’s also about giving back. The event raised money for the Volusia/Flagler Boys and Girls Club and the Blue Ribbon Coalition, a nonprofit group that promotes access to public lands. In the previous year, the event raised 30,000 for the charities.

After the Jeeps were put through their paces and marveled over, the event ended at the Shores Resort. The attendees then got to enjoy their final day of the event with a pool party and luncheon.
