We climbed aboard the Compass with Audrey at the new compact SUV’s international launch in Texas.

Audrey Moore is not your average woman. In fact, she's not your average Chief Engineer of a car either. You've already got the clues - she's a woman. Audrey fell in love with Dodges, Chryslers and Jeeps when she was straight out of school and has worked on those cars for almost two decades.

Working with a team across the globe - including winter testing in New Zealand, Alaska and Sweden even as far as the upper reaches of northern China, she was the leading light for the chassis team.

The result is the most important new Jeep in years, which will spearhead the brand’s comeback when it arrives in Australian showrooms later this year.

Would being chief engineer for a new car program be your dream job? Tell us what you think in ther comments below.

Peter grew up in a house in Western Sydney where automotive passion extended to white Sigmas and Magnas. At school he discovered "those" magazines that weren't to be found in the house. Magazines that offered him the chance to sit in the driver's seat of cars he’d never even heard of let alone seen. His path to rebellion was set - he would love cars, know cars and want to write about cars, much to his family’s disgust. They wanted him to be a teacher. He bought a series of terrible cars and lusted after Ford Escort Cosworths, the Alfa Romeo 164 Q and occasionally kicked himself for selling his 1977 Alfa GTV. From 1.0-litre three cylinders to roaring V12s, Peter has driven them all and can't wait to tell you all about it.
