selection of the Chrysler Town & Country and the Jeep(R)
Wrangler as the 2006 Women's Car of the Year in the categories of

thrilled to be recognized by 'Autos Mujeres al Volante' magazine,"
said Jeff Bell, Vice President, Chrysler and Jeep. "It is a great
honor for the corporation to receive accolades for design and
engineering in the overall safety, styling, affordability and
performance of our vehicles." The 2006 Chrysler Town & Country
minivan offers the epitome of stately flexibility and innovation
without compromises in style, safety or security. With
groundbreaking innovations like the Stow 'n Go(TM) seating and
storage system (first introduced in 2005), safety and security
features like a minivan-first inflatable knee blocker and luxurious
convenience innovations like remote power-sliding doors and power
liftgate, the 2006 Chrysler Town & Country continues to garner
accolades. The 2006 Jeep Wrangler is the heart and soul of the Jeep
brand. No vehicle illustrates the legendary Jeep 4x4 capability
better than the Wrangler, offering open-air fun and freedom with
award-winning off-road capability to young buyers, seasoned
off-road enthusiasts and those who are young at heart. All Jeep
Wranglers wear the Jeep Trail Rated(R) badge, indicating that the
vehicle has been designed to perform in a variety of challenging
conditions identified by five key consumer-oriented performance
categories: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability,
articulation and water-fording. "The 'Mujeres al Volante' awards
are becoming a staple in the automotive industry, and we are
pleased to award the 2006 Jeep Wrangler and 2006 Chrysler Town
& Country for the impressive vehicles that they are," said
Ileana Muniz, editor-in-chief of "Autos Mujeres al Volante." "Our
audience depends on us to honor the new models that best
demonstrate overall superiority, significance and value, and both
of these selected vehicles stood out in each of those categories
for their outstanding engineering, impressive capability, fuel
economy, price and lastly, safety, the number one concern of all
women, especially mothers. "Autos Mujeres al Volante Awards When
