HUMBLE, TX – Whether you want to keep your soft drinks cold or your hands warm, new 2010 model-year vehicles are arriving to Randall Reed’s Planet Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Humble with a wide variety of features to make life on the road a little more comfortable.

“Heated steering wheels and built-in beverage coolers are just a couple of the unique features available on 2010 model-year cars and trucks,” said Randall Reed. “While customers aren’t going to choose a certain vehicle just because it has lighted cup holders, they do appreciate the thoughtfulness of the small details – especially it if it eliminates coffee spills during late night driving.

“Performance, fuel economy, vehicle size and price are still important drivers of buyer decisions,” Reed said, “But, often it’s the ‘creature features’ that new vehicle owners like to show off to their friends and neighbors.”

Planet Dodge Chrysler Jeep is replenishing its vehicle inventory as new 2010 model-year Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge Car and Ram Truck vehicles continue to arrive. Some examples of the unique comfort and utility features that can be found on 2010 vehicles follow:

Chill Zone® acts as a cooled-beverage storage bin holding up to four, 20-ounce bottles or cans. It is available on Dodge Caliber, Avenger and Journey.
