2008 Chrysler Town & Country Bags Ward's Interior Of The Year Award

The all-new 2008 Chrysler Town & Country was impressive enough to convince Ward’s panel of judges. The award-winning 2008 Town & Country model with its splendid auto body parts won the “Interior of the Year" award at the recently held 2008 Ward's Auto Interiors Show, the publication's annual auto interior event. The prominent top award accentuates Town & Country's spot as the first-rate minivan in its class.

"Best-interiors nominees included the usual smattering of utility vehicles, from the sporty Mazda CX-9 to the sophisticated Volkswagen Touareg 2. But the Chrysler Town & Country's rich content and well-executed functionality made it the consensus winner," says Eric Mayne, Editor - Ward's Automotive Reports.

Aside from a perfectly shaped exterior and innovative auto body parts, the Chrysler Town & Country's storage and seating features provided it the opportunity in the 10-judge interior contest. The industry-exclusive Swivel 'n Go(TM) seating group was highly recognized for its capacity to face third-row passengers, and in-floor storage bins designed from the Stow 'n Go(TM) seating system offered a brilliant solution to help get rid of needless interior mess.

"(Ward's AutoWorld) Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter swooned over the rich suede micro-fiber that accented the first- and second-row seats. Finished in pearlescent white leather, the seating surfaces invoked macho Drew to use the L-word (love). But just as a successful campaign helps politicians cut through the clutter, a well-designed interior helps motorists manage it. On this issue, the Town & Country is a clear winner,” added Mayne.

The comforts of a deluxe home were included in the all-new 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. From a more modern-day and stylish interior design, first-class interior amenities, to its flexible seating, driving experience is made time spent traveling-worthy and a lot more enjoyable than ever.

"It’s a great honor to have the Ward’s judges give the all-new Chrysler Town & Country their most prestigious award. Great detail was given to our innovative and flexible minivan interior from satin finishes, burl wood trim choices, chrome accents and clean tailored lines to ensure an upscale look and feel," says Joe Dehner, Vice President - Small, Family and Premium Vehicle Design, Chrysler LLC.

The all-new 2008 Chrysler Town & Country elevates the bar in the minivan segment which is available at Chrysler dealerships nationwide. Town & Country remains the best vehicle to transport people happily and their things efficiently with over 25 years of minivan development and more than 60 segment firsts.
