Gordinier Group teamed up with Ram Rodeo once again to activate a Ram test drive at the 2013 Rodeo Austin in Texas.
With the all-new 2013 Ram 1500 on hand, the off-road track was a very popular activity among rodeo goers.
GG coach riders rode along with guests, sharing their off-road driving expertise and extensive knowledge on the the makeup and driving dynamics of the 2013 Motor Trend “Truck of the Year”.
Despite poor weather and competition with SXSW in Austin, the 2013 rodeo and test drive experienced great attendance and is always a favorite for Gordinier Group team members.

For 2013, Chrysler sponsored the Camp Jeep Off-Road Ride as well as the Chrysler City Drive.
.
The Camp Jeep track offered a body tilt, ground clearance log pile, boulder pile, log jam berm, articulation moguls and 18′ Jeep mountain – all in a natural setting with mulch, live trees and pines. If you closed your eyes on the track, you might think that you were on the Rubicon Trail in the Sierra Nevada mountains!

Gordinier Group drivers traveled to the Nation’s Capital to represent the Fiat USA brand at the 2013 Washington Auto Show.
2103 Fiat 500 Abarth
Equipped with the latest offerings from Fiat (500, 500c, 500 Turbo, and the crowd-favorite Abarth), our mission was simple: to show guests a good time, give them an exhilarating ride, and educate them on this great little vehicle.
Most consumers that are new to the Fiat brand comment about how agile, quick and downright fun these iconic Italian vehicles are.
There was no shortage of people lining up for a chance to take a ride in a 500, especially the performance-oriented Abarth. Many were drawn to our booth by it’s throaty exhaust note.
The track was interesting, as it showcased the attributes that make this vehicle a segment leader. With a tight roundabout, parallel parking zone, acceleration zone, pothole simulator and several other compact agility exercises, it was easy for guests to see the advantages of driving this excellent city-friendly vehicle.
With the 500e (electric) and 500l (4-dr) on display upstairs, guests were treated to a glimpse into the bright future of the Fiat USA brand.

Not only can they get a lift from 5 different downtown locations, but guests are able to ride in a 2013 Grand Cherokee, Wrangler Unlimited, Compass or Patriot.
During their ride, guests are educated on the Jeep product and are able to play Jeep trivia.Great weather and great action – this event is a keeper!
