TAWA Names 2015 Chrysler 300 “Car of Texas”
FCA dominates Texas Auto Roundup
This week, the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) named the 2015 Chrysler 300 “Car of Texas” at the Texas Auto Roundup. While “Car of Texas” is one of the top honors of the event, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US (FCA US) managed to nab another seven awards there as well. In fact, FCA snagged eight of the 20 available awards, far more than any other automaker present 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,” remarked Michael Marrs, President of TAWA. “In fact, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat was the most driven car for the entire day.”
All cars considered for awards are driven around Texas Motor Speedway, in Fort Worth, Texas, so it’s no surprise that the Hellcat was favored by auto enthusiasts.
Other FCA US award winners hailed from the Dodge, Jeep, and Alfa Romeo brands, as well as one more from Chrysler.
