2015 Chrysler 200: A Sedan Making All the Right Moves
Right now at Mount Airy Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram you can find the best of the re-engineered version of the Chrysler Sebring, otherwise known as the Chrysler 200.
This 2015 Chrysler 200 model comes with a new look: a small, refined grill and added curvature to keep it in tow with today’s modern mid-sized sedans. The interior matches its exterior in way of innovative ideas and sleek new designs, making this sedan an immediate eye catcher. Chrysler did a nice job at making this model more roomy and comfortable than previous models by extending its length just enough to provide that extra needed leg space. It comes inoptional 4 or 6-cylinder engines and both do quite well—naturally with the 4-cylinder you save on gas but lose in power (although for a smaller engine, the 4 does well). I would, however, recommend the 6-cylinder with this vehicle simply because the Chrysler 200 uses the same drivetrains found in both the Dodge Dart and the Jeep Cherokee and the larger engine does well to keep the drive smooth and punchy. It also comes with optional manual transmission and paddles to make your drive a bit more exciting.
The best feature of the new 2015 Chrysler 200, I would have to say, is its superiority in safety. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named it as its newest Top Safety Pick and here is why: it comes with options for some of the most up-to-date components available, such as knee airbags, stability control, automatic parking assistance, as well as blind-spot monitors. You can also opt for a lane departure warning system, self-governing breaking system and adaptive cruise control to insure complete driver confidence and peace of mind for all road conditions.
The new Chrysler 200 has more than just aesthetic appeal making it highly desirable. What makes this vehicle of true value is its top rated safety features, practical designs allowing for optimum space and the mechanics to keep it on the road for an extended lifespan. Come try one out today. You will not regret it.

The 2014 Chrysler 200 was a success, proving itself a leader in design and performance among today’s midsized sedans. This year Chrysler has refined those things that garnered it such success—things like quick acceleration and good fuel economy. And these changes make the venerable 200 even more desirable than before.
The process of making this good sedan great started with the engine. Last year’s 4-cylinder has been beefed up with 184 hp and 173 lbs of torque. And the V-6 has risen to 295 hp and 262 lbs of torque—making both engines quicker off the line and cheaper at the gas station. An added bonus to the upgraded engine is the new Torque Management System that allows for the car to switch into all-wheel drive on its own. It does this by sensing changes in the surface of the road and adjusting by transferring torque to all the wheels when needed. This works very well with wet or icy roads, keeping you safely moving along.
The thought put into this vehicle is stunning. From the exterior’s sleek curves, to the metal used in the suspension (high-pressure, die-cast aluminum—a lightweight metal that keeps from vibration), every aspect has been critically examined and made to function the best way possible. Just take it for a drive and feel the difference in the 200 compared to other midsized sedans.
It’s fast and it’s fun to drive. And it looks really good. The 2015 Chrysler 200 model has been sculpted to the shape and style of the 1960s Chrysler coupes, putting its own unique spin on a classic look. The front LED daytime running lamps give off a sleek, modern look, while the ergonomic body rolls back with long lines and perfect Porche-like curves leaving you wondering whether you just purchased a luxury sedan or a high-performing sports car.

2015 Chrysler 300: Best Quality Sedan on the Market
This year J.D. Power’s 2015 U.S. Initial Quality Study ranked the 2015 Chrysler 300 highest among large sedans. How did they come to this conclusion? Well, they actually created this ranking from the responses of over 84,000 owners (based from the first 90 days of ownership) of the 2015 Chrysler 300. The 300’s updated look and quality driving performance have paid off, as drivers and critics alike are overwhelmed with the new and improved sedan.
Chrysler fans are not surprised by the high praise for the 300. Its success has been inevitable from its creation—a big, bold luxury sedan that has been engineered to last, and it comes with a surprisingly low price tag. What more could you possibly want in a car? And each year, they keep getting better. For example, consider a few of the 2015 model’s upgrades: it comes as a newly designed eight-speed automatic, offered in either V-6 or V-8 sized engines. The large wheelbase allows for a softer, more comfortable ride. And its smooth angels and smart shape keep it looking substantial, but also allow it to fit nicely in tight spaces.
After driving the new 300, I was impressed with how quiet and smooth the ride is. How much power and pick-up it has. But what stood out the most to me is its interior cabin. The color schemes consist primarily of dark shades— except for the Platinum models, which can come with cream-colored inlays, door panels, and steering wheel. The wood trim and stitched leather dash add much in way of aesthetics and feel, while the soft surfaces allow for easy cleaning and care. Once inside, it’s difficult not to get excited. Everything from the lighting, down to the floor panels have been made to add to the driving/riding experience.
It’s clear that through superior design and performance, the 2015 Chrysler 300 has proven itself as one of America’s best luxury sedans. Check one out today.

2015 Jeep Wrangler Review by Andrae Bergeron
Jeep Wrangler: An American Icon
With an origin reaching as far back as the 2nd World War, Jeep Wranglers have gone from noisy, bulky, boxy machines, to sporty, comfortable, icons on the road. I had a 1998 model that bounced all over the street with oversized tires and a drafty soft top, yet that Jeep is one of the best vehicles I ever owned—and I’m not alone in my adoration to the old war vehicle. The Jeep Wrangler has one of the biggest fan bases of any utility vehicle out there today.
Even though the Wrangler has progressed over the years, it has always kept its authenticity. The new 2015 Jeep Wrangler still allows you to remove the top and doors as well as fold down the windshield. The door hinges are exposed, as they have always been, visibly fastened to steadfast sheet metal. The 2015 Wrangler comes in two body styles: a two-door and four-door unlimited model. They come in either hard or soft tops (or, you can opt for a package that include both, allowing you to change them depending on the seasons), which have been redesigned to keep out noise and drafts.
Jeep enthusiasts stepping into the new Wrangler for the first time will be shocked at the changes made. The dash and panels have been nicely contoured. The seating and lighting are more sophisticated, ergonomic, making it more family friendly, but without loosing an ounce of ruggedness.
The 2015 Jeep Wrangler is more comfortable and more stylish than its predecessors, yet it maintains the tough durability that has been the source of its mass appeal since the beginning. If you are looking for a vehicle that can go anywhere and look good doing it, I recommend buying from Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Located in the mountains of North Carolina, they understand the usefulness of this utility vehicle and they stock plenty of the right models. You won’t be sorry … take a trip to Mount Airy today and take one out for a test drive—just don’t get it too dirty.
The 2015 Jeep Patriot has advanced annually, as Jeep has done a wonderful job at adjusting, adding, and upgrading aspects on all scales. This tough crossover comes optional with front-wheel drive or two varying all-wheel drive setups. So if you plan to stay on the straight and narrow you can opt for the front-wheel. But if you prefer to get a little dirty, to create your own road, the all-wheel drive will keep you moving. An added bonus is the 158-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that performs as well as (if not better than) many six-cylinder engines, yet saves you with infrequent stops at the gas station.
Right now at Mount Airy Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram you can finance the new Jeep Patriot for as low as 0.9% APR for up to 36 months. With up to a $500 cash allowance on certain models this is a deal you can’t pass up. So why not come in and see what the 2015 Patriot has to offer?
Another reason to consider the Jeep Patriot is its plush features, both inside and out. In essence, Jeep has borrowed some segments from the body style of the Wrangler and a few fine features from the Compass to morph them into a splendid crossover with attitude. The interior itself is roomy and very useful. Its tough surfaces are sturdy and easy to clean. The rear seatbacks flip forward to create extra storage space for stowage of life’s necessities. It can comfortably carry camping gear, sports equipment, you name it. From inside, it’s hard to believe the Patriot is a compact vehicle. However, from the exterior point of view, it is easily parked in the tightest of spaces and you never feel like you are hogging the road.
The best of the crossovers resides in Mount Airy. Come check one out today.
The 2015 Dodge Dart has some history. Brought forth in the early sixties by strong minds with eagerness to create something cool and long lasting –its name derived by its uniquely sharp features — this car has only been perfected over time and at Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram you can find the best colors for the best price.
The 2015 Dart is a performance car with energy saving capabilities that keep you moving in style without depleting your bank account. It comes standard with a 160-horespower, 2.0-liter engine with an optional turbo charge that will knock your socks off. And this very practical vehicle tops the charts when it comes to safety precautions: it earned five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as well as top marks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety —making the Dart one of the safest cars on the road today. Such accolades come only by paying special attention to every detail, and by considering the passenger first. The Dart comes standard with ten airbags in total, optional blind-spot and cross-traffic alerts, and a high-tech electronic safety system that continually keeps the driver aware.
Compact sedans typically look minimal and unexciting. The Dart, however, aligns itself well with Dodge’s tenacious reputation. It has a wide stance and flowing curves that make it seem elongated and closer to the ground. The minute detail shown in the front grill–skinny, strait lines mixed with beveled edges–adds a bit of attitude usually forgotten in smaller cars. The interior is just as bold with flowing, durable surfaces. It comes with an 8.4-inch display screen for navigation, audio, and climate control.
The 2015 Dodge Dart may look completely different from its original design, but it is still much the same in quality. It’s fast, safe, and a blast to drive. So what are you waiting on? Come test drive one today.

There are plenty of makes and models and trims and colors to choose from, as well as a very knowledgeable staff willing to go the extra mile to get you any information you need. And one of the hottest sellers right now, the 2015 Chrysler 300, is begging for a test drive.
The new Chrysler 300 comes with either a 6 or 8-cylinder engine. Both provide top performance, gliding smoothly down the road even when pushed hard. This car is quick off the line and maintains a powerful punch even at higher speeds. But more importantly, since this is a luxury sedan, it provides ultimate comfort in ride quality. It never shakes or pulls, as its advanced electric power steering makes sharp turns and long curvy roads a breeze to handle. Chrysler has done a wonderful job at making a rather large vehicle so responsive and light.
If you are still waiting to really be impressed by the 300, step inside. Comfort and roominess were obviously in the forefront of the designer’s mind for this new model. Its soft curvature and natural look will immediately put you at ease as you slide into one of the coziest seats you will find in a luxury sedan.
The 2015 model brings quite a change to the exterior of the Chrysler 300: the front-end has a much larger grill, giving the car more of a stoic presence—yet, the LED fog lights give off a warmth that keeps the vehicle from seeming at all pretentious. The rear is rounded and more concise than previous models—this illuminates some of the exterior bulkiness and allows for a more modern look.
The new Chrysler 300 is my pick for luxury sedan of the year. Come in to Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today and see for yourself.

Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram continues to be impressed with the new line-up of Dodge vehicles. Dodge has been known for providing affordable, reliable cars to the American public for years. But recently, Dodge has re-invented itself. The Dodge Caravan used to be the manufacturer’s signature vehicle, appealing to a wide range of American families. However, now Dodge is becoming synonymous once again with Muscle!
When Fiat took control of the Chrysler Group in 2009, Dodge was still making vans and sedans for the family or to be sold to rental car companies. Dodge Ram was known for making reliable, well-crafted trucks, but since Ram was separated into its own brand, Dodge was in need of a reinvention. Dodge looked back at the past in order to shape their future. The Dodge Charger and Challenger from the 1960s were reintroduced and have been reshape Dodge’s image ever since.
In order to bring back these muscle cars, Dodge shifted its focus to performance. The 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger are some of the fastest cars on the road. The standard base model for the Dodge Charger is about $28,000, but for those who want more Dodge has designed the new 2015 Hellcat Charger, starting at around $64,000. The Hellcat Charger doesn’t get much better for the hot rod lover. It has 707 horsepower and has a top speed of 204 mph. Pretty much the baddest car on the road.
This new image seems to be working for Dodge. Although, drivers can still purchase a Dodge Grand Caravan or Journey for their family car, Dodge is quickly becoming known for its muscle cars instead. The Dodge Charger is becoming popular amongst law enforcement as well. “The four-doors and rear-wheel drive seems to be designed for police officers,” says Jorge Martin, general manager at Mount Airy Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram. “Dodge is definitely getting a reputation for being performance driven.”
Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is located in Mount Airy at 538 N Andy Griffith Parkway. “We have a great selection of Chargers and Challengers on the lot,” explains Martin. To really understand the new Dodge, schedule a test drive.

2015 Dodge Charger: A Muscle Car From the Future
Initially the Dodge Charger, like the Ford Mustang, was made as a sporty muscle car at an affordable price–it was powerful, fast, cool. Today’s model has taken these standards and built upon them, updating to the needs of the modern driver. It has slightly backed away from the muscle car style to create a modern, sleek version of its original self. Don’t get me wrong, the 2015 Dodge Charger still maintains its tough exterior, just in a way that feels more like a muscle car from the future.
The 2015 model features five different trim levels to create a vehicle that meets anyone’s needs. It comes as the SE, SXT, and the R/T– and within each trim level there are various options to choose from, allowing you to pick and choose on an incredibly minute level. But regardless of wich trim you end up choosing, you are guaranteed a quality ride and that venerated muscle car feel.
At first glance, the new Charger seems to be sleeker and more tightly knit than last year’s model. The front hood has been lowered, beveling downward and over the front, spilling in symmetrical shapes. The front and back-ends have been blunted, giving it muscle and sharp contrast. And the rap-around LED light really makes it glimmer.
Inside, the Charger is spacious with metallic accents and smooth surfaces. It comes with a 7-inch thin film TFT screen set up for 3-D navigation, and plenty of apps. The dark tones and ergonomic designed seats, combined with a top-of-the-line engine that allows for quickness off the line and tightly hugged curves, create the optimum riding experience.
I recommend that you take some time, find which trim level best fits you and your driving style– but not before you test drive one. That, I recommend you do right away — you won’t be sorry you did.
