Posted on November 7, 2013 by baysideadmin

The Jeep Wrangler left SEMA being dubbed the “Hottest 4×4-SUV” for the fourth consecutive year. The SEMA Award look to recognize the coolest and most adaptable platforms present at the show. It’s no question that the Wrangler is one that they’ve taken a fond liking to over the years considering how many times they’ve given the award to the popular jeep.

“Consumers are increasingly interested in customizing vehicles, so havng an accessory-friendly platform is important, “said SEMA President and CEO Chris Kersting about the Wrangler’s award. “The Jeep Wrangler has consistently ranked Number One as the Hottest 4×4 SUV since the inception of the SEMA Award, a clear reflection of its versatility.”

“It’s amazing to have the Jeep Wrangler recognized for a fourth straight year by SEMA with this award,” Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, said. The Wrangler is our most accessorized vehicle and to see it consistently winning accolades is a demonstration of the quality of the vehicle and the work that Mopar has put in to develop accessoris and quality Jeep Performance Parts. Enthusiats will be happy to know e have just added new offerings to our more than 300 performance parts and accessories already available for this vehicle to provide even more options for customization.

The Jeep Wrangler is one of the most popular and recognized vehicles in the world. This year brings with it new improvements such as coming equipped with the Uconnect 6.5-inch touchscreen and SiriusXM Radio. The Wrangler also comes equipped with the award winning 3.6-liter V-6 engine.

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

Posted on May 10, 2013 by baysideadmin

Winning 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.
