Another great NYIAS for Jeep this year! 2013 marked the 10th consecutive year for Camp Jeep in NYC.
Not only did the CJ track record it’s busiest NYIAS in history, but Jeep excitedly unveiled the 2014 Cherokee to an enthusiastic crowd of international media!

I think that it is safe to say that the uneasy feelings about the aesthetics and capability of this vehicle were put to rest once people were able to see it in person.

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.

Gordinier Group returned to the McCormick Place for the 2013 Chicago Auto Show.

CAS is one of the largest shows of the year, with the ultimate indoor driving courses of the season.
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.
