Chrysler Gets Some "Very Good" Compliments from Consumer Reports

Consumer Reports is renowned across industries for being stingy with their praise. This is, in part, what makes them so reputable. It also makes it all the more exciting when you receive it, like Chrysler just has for the Dodge Durango SUV and Dodge Charger sedan, and Chrysler Town & Country minivan.

Both Chrysler's Dodge Charger and Dodge Durango were redesigned for the 2011 model year; and Consumer Reports indicates they improved the most when compared to any other Chrysler brand vehicle. By earning "Very Good" road test scores from Consumer Reports, the V6 and V8 tested Dodge Durango SUV is now considered to be on the same plane as the Explorer. Likewise, "Very Good" road test scores have leveled the plain between the Dodge Charger and competing Tuarus and LaCrosse.

The Chrysler Town & country also earned "Very Good" road test scores by Consumer Reports. While it wasn't redesigned for the 2011 model year, it was significantly updated.
