BRAMPTON -
Members of the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) named the 2009 Dodge Journey "Family Car of Texas" at the 2008 Spring Challenge, the organization's annual passenger-car competition. More than 60 vehicles from various manufacturers entered the event, all vying for a top award from 40 of the TAWA journalists on hand. "With 61 vehicles competing in various categories, the new Dodge Journey is the worthy recipient of our first Family Car of Texas award. This award speaks loudly about the design and capability of this vehicle," said Harold Gunn, President - Texas Auto Writers Association. "The many storage options had several of our members remarking, 'Finally a place for all my stuff!'" Designed from the ground up, Dodge Journey combines the versatility of a large sport-utility vehicle with the efficiency of a passenger car. With bold, capable styling, perfect proportions and an innovative interior design, Dodge Journey is the right-sized crossover for people who want the prestige of an SUV and the functionality and utility of a minivan. A cutting-edge MyGIG(TM) multimedia system provides the driver and passengers 3-D navigation with real-time traffic monitoring, an integrated 30- gigabyte hard drive to store music and pictures, and an auxiliary audio jack to play any MP3 player. Additional features including SIRIUS Satellite Radio, ParkView Rear Back-up Camera, UConnect hands-free communication that is Bluetooth compatible, a UCI for iPod connectivity, and rear DVD entertainment with two wireless headphones, make every day a driving pleasure.
