Auburn Hills, Mich., Jan 14, 2010  -  Another week and another award for the benchmark Jeep® Wrangler.

The 2010 Jeep Wrangler has earned the “Best New Car for Off-Roaders” Lifestyle Award from Cars.com.

In recognizing the 2010 Jeep Wrangler, Cars.com noted, “The legendary Jeep Wrangler tops our Off-Roaders picks again this year. … Long on capability, the scrappy Wrangler Rubicon has 10.5 inches of ground clearance, as well as approach, departure and breakover angles its competitors can only envy. When the shortest distance between two points is an obstructed straight line, you’ll want to be in a Wrangler.”

“This prestigious award from Cars.com reinforces Jeep Wrangler’s position as the benchmark off-road vehicle on the planet,” said Mike Manley, President and CEO – Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “It comes at an especially exciting time for customers looking for the ultimate off-roader, as Wrangler was recently named the Best 4x4 Vehicle of the Decade by Four Wheeler magazine, and as Jeep is introducing two all-new Wrangler models at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.”

Beyond ultimate capability, Jeep Wrangler offers a combination of numerous safety and convenience features, interior space, versatility and comfort, on-road refinement, and open-air fun as the only true 4x4 convertible. At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Jeep is introducing two limited-edition models: the Jeep Wrangler Islander and Jeep Wrangler Mountain editions.
