OREANDA-NEWS. August 28, 2015. A diverse mix of five FCA Canada vehicles have been named The Car Guide / Le Guide de l’Auto Best Buys for 2016.
 
The editors of the well-respected, long-running Quebec-based publication scrutinized and compared new models head-to-head in 26 vehicle categories, with fuel economy, reliability, safety, infotainment, driving experience and an overall score weighed, before selecting the top three vehicles for each. For 2016, the FCA products honoured were:
  • Full-size Sedans – 1st place: Chrysler 300, 3rd place: Dodge Charger
  • Full-size Pick-up Trucks – 1st place: Ram 1500
  • Mid-size SUVS over \\$50,000 – 3rd place: Jeep® Grand Cherokee
  • Full-size SUVS – 2nd place: Dodge Durango 

“To have five FCA products called out by the editors of an automotive publication with the reputation and history of The Car Guide is an honour,” said Ed Broadbear, VP of Marketing, FCA Canada. “What’s more, to have such a diverse mix of products recognized – from our Brampton, Ontario-built full-size sedans to our multi award-winning Ram 1500 pickup and beyond – is a testament to the strength and diversity of the current vehicle lineup we offer Canadians.”
 
Says The Car Guide / Le Guide de l’Auto: “Week after week, The Car Guide’s Best Buys remains one of the most popular sections on our website [guideautoweb.com], indicating that the ranking influences buyers looking for a new car. According to a recent poll, 57 per cent of visitors on The Car Guide’s website plan on buying a new vehicle in the next 12 months.”
