All-New 2015 Chrysler 300 Wins Top Honor as "Car of Texas" From the Texas Auto Writers Association

 The all-new 2015 Chrysler 300 took the highest award as the Car of Texas at the Texas Auto Roundup hosted by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA). Dodge, Jeep® and Alfa Romeo brands also won accolades this year.  

After a day of demanding driving at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, journalists voted for their favorite vehicles and FCA US secured eight of the possible 20 awards, the most of any manufacturer at the event. 

"FCA US brought an amazing array of vehicles this year. It was truly an all-star lineup.  Our members were especially impressed with the 2015 Chrysler 300 and the Dodge Hellcats," said Michael Marrs, President of TAWA. "In fact, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat was the most driven car for the entire day." 

Jeep bringing Renegade Hard Steel with adorable matching trailer to Geneva

Trailers are hardly an uncommon site. They can, after all, be an effective way of adding cargo capacity when you need to haul more than you can fit in your car and truck. But there's something that just gets us about trailers made to match the vehicle behind which they're being towed. Like this one, attached to this unique Jeep Renegade.

Set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show mere days from now, the Renegade Hard Steel concept is a joint effort between various elements of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group, including Jeep, Moparand the FCA Style Centre. It's based on the Trailhawk off-road model, but is distinguished by its unique metallic finish, offset by matte black trim and a full raft of available and custom Mopar accessories. Though Jeep has yet to show us what it looks like inside, it's said to have a specially coated leather finish. And of course there's that trailer.

Designed to mimic the Renegade's rear-end styling, the appendage will be used on the floor of the Geneva Palexpo to showcase the vehicle's Uconnect Live infotainment system through an oversized pop-up touchscreen display that mirrors the new 5- or 6.5-inch display that'll soon be available on the littlest of Jeeps, offering streaming content including music, news, social media and traffic conditions.

We have no indication that a similar trailer could be going into production (minus, of course, the infotainment stuff), but it's worth noting that Jeep has indeed done something similar before.
