As car enthusiasts gear up for the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, the American auto industry is looking stronger than it has in years, and one surprising brand is leading the way: Chrysler.
A company that seemed doomed during the worst of the recession is now making great strides in dependability, appeal and even sales. “Chrysler’s had a fairly meteoric rise,” said David Champion, head of auto testing for Consumer Reports, in a recent interview. “There’s greater attention to detail, product quality, a more refined vehicle, overall,” he told CNN.
The accolades are plenty. In the most recent J.D. Power APEAL survey, which rates how new car owners feel about their vehicles, Dodge Charger, Challenger and Durango all topped their respective segments. Consumer Reports ranks the Chrysler 300 among the best large sedans sold in America, and lauds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango for their superiority in their respective SUV class.
What do you think about Chrysler’s return to the spotlight? Is the automaker here to stay, or will they lose their focus on quality when sales improve and demand increases?
