2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Named "Performance Utility Vehicle of Texas"
http://www.drivesrt.com/news/2014/05/20 ... -tawa.html
The 2014 Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT® was recently named the “Performance Utility Vehicle of Texas” at the 2014 Texas Auto Writers Auto Roundup hosted by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) in Fort Worth, Texas. After a day of spirited driving at Texas Motor Speedway, journalists voted on their favorites and the 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT took home the honors in the Sport Utility Vehicle segment.

The 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT features a new eight-speed transmission that puts the power from the 6.4L HEMI® engine to the ground. The engine makes 470 horsepower and 465-lb.-ft torque. Launch control is standard on the Grand Cherokee SRT, along with “track mode” suspension for the most track-capable performance out of the vehicle.

TAWA members gather each spring to evaluate the newest passenger cars, minivans and performance SUVs. The event provides Texas journalists the opportunity to drive nearly every new car on the market, ranging from subcompact vehicles to supercars. A total of 47 journalists attended and drove 50 cars from various manufacturers at the event.

Chrysler Group LLC vehicles earned a total of six of the 19 awards, across three brands and five segments of vehicles, the most of any manufacturer.
I wouldn't mind one of these!
