Reviewing the Challenger.

For shoppers in the muscle car department, there are some great choices at your local Chevrolet Cincinnati Dealer that you should check out.  But, if you want a car that looks good and offers a smooth ride, then you will want to look at getting a Dodge Challenger.  After taking a break for many years, the Challenger was re-released in 2008 and will take 2011 off for a face-lift.  The 2012 model will be released in Spring of 2011 and should be a bit more competitive than the current model.  People who are loyal Camaro fans from Dayton Chevrolet Dealers would appreciate the roomy interior and backseat that the Challenger offers. 

Don't confuse this model with any of the high fuel efficiency cars from Stafford Toyota Dealers.  The 2010 Dodge Challenger gets an estimated 16-20 mpg on average!  But drivers love the Challenger because of its nostalgic hold on many people; the exterior styling should remind you of the 1970s models.  This can almost be considered a family friendly muscle car due to the spacious backseat, something that the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro both missed the boat on.  Plus, there is plenty of trunk space for those grocery shopping trips!  That extra size comes from the fact that its shares a platform with the Charger and Chrysler 300. 

There are a few things that Dodge can do to improve this beautiful machine.  The interior lacks that specialized "wow" factor that some of the competition is delivering.  It is by no means unattractive, rather just run of the mill kind of plain.  Of course, you forget that fact if you get all the fancy upgrades like Bluetooth, navigation, iPod, leather, and heated seats to name a few.  As mentioned earlier, the Challenger is rather large and heavy, so it isn't as quick as consumers would want.  But, if offers a smooth and powerful ride that will please most muscle car fanatics.

U.S. Proposes Labels for Fuel Efficiency;

There is a new proposal for fuel economy labels on vehicles. Consumers who are shopping for new vehicles may be able to see the vehicle's fuel efficiency on the exterior of the vehicle, similar to labels which are found on other products. Vehicles sold at Mazda Dealer Sarasota and other dealerships would be required to put these labels on their new models. The Obama Administration is behind the proposal to have all new vehicles with MPG ratings and other information about carbon emissions. Peoria VW dealers sell vehicle which have low carbon emissions like the compact Golf model and others.

Also, check out your local Honda Dealer Hattiesburg for other fuel efficient vehicle models. The Obama Administration is carrying out a law that will require new labels to be placed on new vehicles in a fleetwide context. The law was passed in 2007. The comparison in fuel efficiency covers gasoline, hybrid, electric, and other vehicles. The auto industry is in opposition to this new law whereas other groups are for this law. The reason why the auto industry is against this new proposal is because many dealers may not be able to sell less fuel efficient vehicle models, even though they might have excellent features or other qualities that make the vehicles good choices.

Not everyone is looking for a vehicle with excellent mpg ratings. Some vehicles are required for commercial use or for working like van and pickup models. These vehicles may have low mpg ratings, but they may be used for businesses and jobs that help to contribute to the economy both locally and nationwide. The EPA and the U.S. Department of Transportation is looking to include as many of these labels as possible before the year 2012.

The latest legislation is the most significant development among fuel efficiency labels. The fuel economy label was created over 30 years ago, and now automakers are looking to introduce fuel efficient vehicles and green vehicles which are more fuel efficient and have lower overall CO2 emissions.

Bob King Calls for More Worker Benefits;

Bob King has called for more worker benefits amid news of the upswing of the automotive industry in the United States. King said that concessions from American auto workers helped save the automobile industry, and now that the industry is in an upswing that workers should be paid equivalently. GM, whose latest models can be found at Louisville Chevrolet Dealers, has seen increased sales over the past year, but the company has hardly had any time to recoup its losses from the past several years. Ford vehicles can be found at Sarasota Used Cars dealerships and although they certainly are high quality and excellent models, Ford has also just recently been able to turn over a consistent profit.

Manchester used car dealers and other dealers have certainly been selling well over the past year, but there is no guarantee that the trend will continue. However, the UAW is demanding that automakers start to give employees more for their work during the current positive trend of the automotive industry. King was elected president of the UAW in June succeeding Ron Gettelfinger who helped persuade President Obama to bail out GM and Chrysler as both companies went bankrupt last year.

Membership in the UAW at one point in 1979 was at a high of 1.5 million but it has dropped to only 355,000. The contract of the UAW with GM, Chrysler, and Ford ends next year. King said that UAW workers have already made concessions of $7,000 to $30,o00 in past years. One concession was a two tier wage system in which new hires earned $14.00 which is about half of what hourly production workers are paid. King also said that the U.S. government should offer more economic stimuli that would help to put Americans back to work, although it is arguable that the bailouts of 2009 potentially saved thousands of jobs at Chrysler and GM.

Ford's recall?

Before you buy any where make sure you check out all the amazing deals and great prices at Ohio Ford Service. Also make sure you check out all of the modern luxury and great deals at Volkswagen. Ford is recalling there Windstar van in 21 sates, the District of Columbia, and Canada were road salt is more widely used. The road salt is believed to cause corrosion that will slightly crack a back axle. This recall is only taking place on a small number of the Windstar vans. Also keep in mind that the Ford Windstar van is no longer in production. Keep in mind to check out all the great vehicles and amazing deals at Imports Boston.

The recall is completely cost free to the customers and owners of the Windstar van. Ford Motor Company will be getting in touch with the owners of the Windstar van in production from 1997 to 2003. The repairs will be done by reinforcing the rear axle, and if the axle can't be fixed then it will be replaced free of charge, and a rental vehicle will be provided until the vehicle is fixed. The rental vehicle will also be charge free to the customer.

This recall is taking place in a small number in cases. Not all of the vehicles have a cracked rear axle, but any Windstar high mileage van that does will be fixed by Ford Motor Company. The repair can be made at any of your local Ford Dealerships. Ford issued this recall them selves, and by doing this they are once again proving that customer safety comes first in Ford's standards.

Ford Motor company is once again taking the lead, but this time it is in honesty. Ford issued this recall to make sure that the Ford customers are safe in their vehicles, and on the road.

Looking at Ford's Car Line-Up.

Consumers are shifting their attention towards the finer and smaller things in life.  This is why the sales of small vehicles has greatly increased and why you can get amazing deals on large trucks and SUVs right now.  If you visit a VW Dealer, chances are that the price for one of their sporty little cars is going to be higher than you predicted while they may be offering great incentives on their large SUV models.  The same thing can be said at Mazda Calgary.  So if you find yourself in the market for a new car, you really should look at the Ford car line up.  They have options from compacts to performance to hybrids that are sure to meet and satisfy your needs.

One great example is the new Ford Fiesta.  After having a few incredibly successful years in Europe, the Fiesta has made its way stateside for around $13,000!  This adorable hatchback even comes in funky fresh new colors, and you won't find these bright colors on a car from Mazda Car Dealer Bradenton.  If you need something a bit larger, the Ford Focus is also an excellent choice.  The Focus is known for being safe and incredibly fuel efficient.  At a base price of only $16,640, it is a strong alternative to consider rather than buying an import model.  Another practical solution that many drivers will find as a good choice is the Ford Fusion.  This car has won several awards and is also available as a hybrid model. 

The Ford Taurus is no longer outdated in appearance at all!  After a recent complete redesign, this family friendly car is also attractive and affordable!  For people that still need to have a car that can truly perform, the American icon Ford Mustang is always an option.  With a starting price of only $22,145, the price of this sports car is one of the best in the class.  Of course, this is for the V6 engine option, and as you go to the higher trim levels, you will pay more.

Ford to Expand Thailand Joint Venture;

Ford, whose latest models can be purchased from East Petersburg Ford Dealers, is in a joint partnership with Mazda to produce a next-generation model line of pickups. Ford has been in partnership with Mazda for several years now, and Ford is looking to continue its business relationship with the Japanese automaker. Philadelphia Nissan Dealers sell the latest Nissan models, and Nissan is not going to be working with Ford to produce the new pickup vehicle models.

However, Nissan will offer its own next generation pickup models that will likely continue to be popular such as the Nissan Frontier and the Nissan Titan which can e found at Salem Nissan Dealer businesses near you. The production of the new pickup model will begin at a Thailand factory called AutoAlliance and it will begin in mid 2011. The $350 million investment in the plant will be used to fund upgrades, tooling, and employee training.

Thailand is Southeast Asia's second largest economy and many automakers have turned to Thailand as a source of cheap but skilled labor. Labor costs have skyrocked in Japan and even in other countries as the yen and other currencies have gained on the dollar. Light vehicle production has become popular in Thailand because of numerous government incentives and due to its large availability of cheap land.

Thailand also has a large population of 67 million people which provides a steady and skilled labor resource to automakers. Mazda and Ford have combined to invest almost 2 billion into the Thai plant over the past few years, and the venture between the two companies was created in 1995. At one point in time, Ford owned Mazda completely, but now Ford owns a share of 13 percent in the company. Ford and Mazda hope to develop a next generation pickup vehicle that does well in many market segments.

Imports Making Better Wagons?

As more and more new cars are being created, the competition is stronger than even in the auto industry.  If a brand or model isn't doing as well as it should, the brand will scrap it and redesign it entirely.  The Kia Spectra was a popular model for many years, but the class got too crowded so the Spectra went away and was replaced with the Kia Forte.  With all the current VW Specials being offered right now, places like Ford Macon need to make sure they are offering the best products at the best price to remain competitive.  The station wagon class used to be quite popular, but as crossovers become increasingly popular, the station wagon seems to be phasing out. 

U.S. News and Rankings evaluated seven affordable compact wagons, and domestics made up the bottom three!  That means that American brands seem to be giving up on this class that is still hanging on.  You might find a used model at Greensboro Mercury Dealer, but there won't be any new wagon models.  Rather, you will find compact SUVs or crossover vehicles.  Listed in order, the seven affordable wagons are: 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring, 2010 VW Jetta SportWagen, 2010 Mini Clubman, 2010 Toyota Matrix, 2010 Chevrolet HHR, 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser, and 2010 Dodge Caliber.  These ratings are based on several reviews and categories like exterior and interior design, safety, performance, and reliability. 

There is good news, because if you are in the market for a Chevy HHR you will likely pay less than MSRP.  The average amount actually paid for the 2010 model ranges from $17,706 up to $24,097 while the suggested MSRP range is $18,720 up to $26,255.  That makes this a great value.  The same scenario applies to the Dodge Caliber and Chrysler PT Cruiser, people are paying far less than MSRP.  While with the import brands, the average amount paid is very close to, if not more than, MSRP.

Alfa Romeo to be Sold in the U.S.!

Alfa Romeo vehicles which are manufactured by Fiat, which is a division of Chrysler, will be sold in the United States said the CEO of Chrysler. Chrysler dealers will sell these popular European vehicle models in a bid to compete with Cincinnati Ford dealerships and others. Sergio Marchionne said that the vehicles would likely be sold at the roughly 200 Fiat franchises throughout the United States. Other dealerships like Ford Lauderdale Cascadia Dealers will sell competing Cascadia models that have done well globally. Alfa Romeo vehicles will be brought to the United States in 2012 toward the end of the year.

Jackson Honda Dealers also sell foreign Honda models that have done well over the past 20 years, but it is tough to say how both Fiat and Alfa Romeo will fare in the American car market which has been declining in sales over the past year. The signs are showing that both Fiat and Alfa Romeo will be sold in the United States together.

At the moment, Fiat only planned on selling the 500 minicar model at the dealerships that will get the Fiat brand, but the addition of Alfa Romeo will offer dealerships more options for vehicles. There are other versions of the minicar that will be offered in later years such as a convertible version, electric version, and a four-door version.

It is unknown whether the move will end up being wise for Chrysler as the company has lagged behind both Ford and GM in sales, although Chrysler has been doing better this year than it has in many years. Chrysler executives and investors hope that the addition of more models to their United States automobile market will help the company gain access to new markets and become more competitive. Chrysler is emerging from bankruptcy protection along with GM which both companies filed in 2009.

American Small Car Competition.

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze will be available to consumers at Winston-Salem Chevy Dealer and other dealerships nationwide by the end of 2010.  The only problem is that Chevy has created such a buzz with the anticipated release of this vehicle that they may have missed the boat for small car competition.  The Cruze is set to replace the Cobalt, but some auto experts feel that there are just too many cooks in the kitchen when it comes to the overcrowded element of the small car class.  U.S. News and Rankings has been a trusted source for consumer research for several years, and in their "affordable small car" class there are 31 vehicles that they have reviewed!  All the Volkswagen Specials going on might be related to the Golf or Jetta, both of which make the list.  Surprisingly enough, the popular Toyota Corolla comes in towards the bottom of the list at number nineteen, but perhaps that is just because it hasn't been redesigned in a while and can't compete with the trendy vehicles that reign the top marks.  You can find the Corolla at Toyota Scion Salt Lake City, and some of the Scion models even score higher on the ranking list!

The number one spot on the list goes to American made Ford Fiesta!  This sporty little car has been gaining popularity and a reputation for reliability in Europe since 2008.  Ford has been actively promoting this car on Facebook and other tactics to gain the money from the younger crowd.  With colorful and creative paint choices, like Yellow Flame or Oxford White, you can't help but smile when you get behind the driver's seat!  Ford also has their Focus on the list of choices, coming in at number 20!  All the other models in between are import brands!  See, that is part of the reason why it is so important for domestic auto makers to turn their attention to this popular class they have neglected for so long!

GM Hires Hyundai Marketing Exec.

GM has hired a Hyundai marketing executive for its Chevrolet brand as the company attempts to continue its recent progress in sales domestically and abroad. Hyundai has done well in recent years due to innovative marketing and the latest models can be found at a Hyundai Hartford dealership. The New GM is looking for more ways to develop new marketing techniques and even reach past markets in which the automaker sold well. Also be sure to check out Ford Specials for deals on some of the top competing models.

Volkswagen Dealer businesses also sell great models that are similar to Chevy's latest models in terms of fuel efficiency and technology. GM named Chris Perry as its marketing leader for the Chevrolet brand. Chris Perry will replace Jim Campbell and Perry was formerly Hyundai Motor America's vice president of marketing. Perry will be GM's fourth marketing leader in 13 months as the company is switching up marketing directors in an attempt to stay competitive.

Campbell was moved to become the vice president of GM's vehicles and motorsports unit. Chris Perry will team up with Joel Ewanick who is GM's top U.S. marketing executive. Ewanick said, “I have worked with Chris in the past and know he will use his unique ability to integrate strategic and creative marketing activities across all communications disciplines to reconnect consumers to the Chevrolet brand.”

In the past year, 17 GM executives have left their job or the company. GM has underwent several changes since the new GM was launched and changes in executives has been one of them. GM is still looking to find its best business model and leadership, and although the company has changed leaders overall it is done much better in the past year than it has in several years. GM's rapid changes in executives might not be taken as a good sign by investors, but the company will continue to hold its IPO later this fall.

Green power?

Before you buy anywhere make sure you check out all of the amazing deals and low prices on the modern luxury vehicle line up at VW Dealer. Also make sure you check out all of the great vehicles for low prices at Cincinnati Used Cars. Ford Motors is once again taking the lead in going green. Keep in mind to check out all of the amazing deals at Conneticut Acura.

The go green challenge is based of people working to making emissions to go down, and most of the auto industry is on board. However, Ford Motors is the one taking the lead, because it is not just their vehicles going green.

Ford Motor Company is pushing a head, and this time it is not with a vehicle it is with their production methods. Instead of pushing their vehicle they are pushing them selves. Ford is striving to push the bar in the go green effort.

Ford is installing wind mills and solar panels to remake one of their plants, but it is not stopping there. Ford Motors is adding ten charging stations onto this plant for the electric vehicle that will be delivering the vehicle parts.

The plant that is being made over is going to be making Ford's hybrid vehicles, so the cars wont just be going green they will also be made green. Ford is taking a risk on this new renovation, but they are more then willing to push the go green challenge.

Everything about Ford's production methods is going green including the vehicles the make. Ford is not planning to slow down on bringing you more fuel efficient vehicles any time soon. Ford Motors is the one of the first automotive companies to do this. The automotive world now has to try and keep up with Ford.

Lots of Legroom!

Just recently, a list of the vehicles with the roomiest backseats was released for the 2010 model year.  Domestic auto maker Ford and their affiliates can be quite proud of themselves, as several of their vehicles made the list of Top 10.  The Lincoln Town Car, Lincoln MKT, and Ford Flex all made the list!  It is likely that a slightly older model could be found at Sarasota Used Cars and drivers will experience some of the same backseat benefits.  While Peoria VW offers consumers some great vehicles to choose from with excellent safety ratings and comfort features, they don’t have anything impressive to contribute when it comes to backseat size.  If the following list doesn’t strike your fancy, then go ahead and visit Honda St. Louis to see what great offers they can get you. 

Other cars that made the cut include the BMW 7 Series, the Nissan Armada, the Audi A8, the Infiniti QX56, and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class as well as the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.  This list was compiled by the auto experts at Edmunds, and only includes models that were made in 2010.  While the Lincoln Town Car is by no means the most trendy or best looking car on the road, it still is a comfortable and luxurious ride if you need to transport six passengers.  The Town Car gets bad press for its unresponsive handling, and even the target market elderly drivers are tending to choose something a bit more sporty.  This V8 luxury boat of a car is rumored to be in the process of a phase-out to be replaced with the Lincoln MKS.  Drivers of the Town Car appreciate the large trunk, quiet cabin experience, and spacious feeling.  You won’t want to pull out in front of someone as the acceleration is lacking for how large the car is; a 4.6 liter that only gets 239 horsepower and 287 pound feet of torque.

GM May Also Sell Preferred Stock;

General Motors may also decide to sell preferred stock along with its IPO of common stock. GM will not sell any common shares itself. GM has been in an upswing since filing bankruptcy in 2009, and GM's latest models can be purchased from a Cincinnati Used Cars dealership. At the moment the company is owned 61 percent by the United States government and proceeds from preferred stock sales may be used by GM to pay off the government's hold of the company. Also check your local VW Dealer for information on the latest Volkswagen models which have been selling well throughout the country. There are several Oakland BMW models which have been selling well since luxury brands are also in an upswing.

GM will not receive proceeds from its selling of common stock at its IPO and the U.S. Treasury department will offer some of the common stock that it owns in GM at the IPO. The shares will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange as well as the Toronto Stock Exchange and preferred shares will be listed at the NYSE.

Preferred shares would be converted to common stock at an unspecific price and the price depends on the completion of common shares sales. Preferred stock might help GM improve its financial options and offer the company more revenue to help it pay off its government debt.

GM filed for its IPO recently and the company will be hosting an IPO sometime later this year. GM hopes that the company's IPO will be one of the largest in history because of the wide manufacturing of worldwide brands by GM and since GM is such a large company. The IPO may help GM raise money to pay off debts and help the company also invest more into research in a similar business move as Tesla Motor Co.

Summer Sales Event!

Bradenton Used Cars is always a great place to buy a car and you will get some of the lowest prices around.  But if you are in the market for a new car,  summer is a hot time to buy because dealerships are trying to unload their 2010 inventory and make room for 2011 models that are arriving daily.  Peoria Volkswagen has been running amazing low price specials on their line up for the last couple months and are likely to continue to do so.  Chevy right now is offering their summer sales event and you can have the option of getting a generous cash allowance or an amazing APR finance rate on most of their 2010 models.  The best advice for new car owners is to stay on top of your service maintenance, and places like Richmond Quick Lane make that easy to do, unless you opt for one of the luxury lines that is currently offering free maintenance as a buyer incentive.

Popular new models like the redesigned 2010 Equinox are not part of the program; the best they will give you is 6.9% for 72 months, and chances are your personal bank can beat that rate.  But its bigger sister the 2010 Traverse is giving buyers the option of a $2,000 cash allowance or 0% for 60 months!  Seeing as how most people get a 60 month loan anyway, 0% is a great bargain.  If you prefer to lease, plan on bringing a down payment of $3,789 and then paying $299 per month for the next 39 months. 

With rumors of the Avalanche soon being discontinued, Chevy is offering an impressive $5,000 cash allowance or 0% for 72 months!  That long of a loan at 0% is a great deal that can't be beat.  Of course you could always lease a 2010 Silverado, with $2,349 due initially and then $339 per month for 39 months.  Or they are offering the same purchase incentives as the Avalanche!

GM IPO Filing Will Occur Next Week;

GM's IPO filing will take place next week. GM has delayed its filing until early next week as it waits for updates. It will also have a change in CEOs on Thursday. GM models can be found at a Port Charlotte Used Cars dealership. GM has recently announced that the company has had improved second quarter results from 2010. Volkswagen Deals offers deals on various models that are competing with GM to take bigger market shares.

Washington DC Chevrolet and other GM dealers hope to benefit from the IPO which will provide GM with many more vehicle models and money for new vehicle development. GM will wait to file their IPO next week and companies that are looking to sell their shares on a public network have to go through a rigorous approval process. GM will also be changing CEOs from Ed Whitacre to Dan Akerson. The shifts in CEOs also delayed the IPO.

GM has not released details on the IPO. GM will file a prospectus of several hundreds of pages which will detail the company's bankruptcy and changes it has made in order to restructure. It also will detail the risk of ownership of the company and other risk factors. The company will be added a risk factor with the departure of the CEO under these conditions which may prove to be poor timing for the company.

A GM source said that pricing decisions would not be made until GM's IPO date was set and the IPO is expected to take place some time in the fourth quarter. GM secured a $5 billion credit facility which is the last step before the company's IPO and the IPO will make the US government a minority shareholder in the company. At the moment, the US government owns 61% of GM.

Ford's New Fuel Efficient Engines!

There are exciting things happening with the 2011 Ford F-150 line up!  Some of the inventory might already be arriving at Ford Dealerships, but there is no way you will find one at Cincinnati Used Cars.  Ford is announcing that there will be four new engines in the F-150 line up, and that they will all be the most fuel efficient in their class.  While Volkswagen Dealer lots do not need to worry about losing business because they don't have trucks in their inventory, the fact that Ford is offering better fuel economy in an incredibly safe truck might pose some competition for the SUV market.  While the features that comes standard on the new F-150s is by far more luxurious than what you used to get for a pick up truck, it can't compare with what you would get at Pittsburgh Mercedes-Benz.  Buying a new car is a personal decision, but we will give you some info on the new engines Ford is offering.

The entire 2011 line up will come with a six speed automatic transmission.  Offering that higher gear already improves the fuel economy.  Plus, Ford continues to be the brand to set standards, as no other truck brand is offering six speeds as the standard transmission.  SelectShift will be featured on the new F-150s, which will improve the towing capability of the trucks.  Drivers can put the transmission in a manual mode and then have shifting control so that they can select the best gear for their tow load and desired fuel economy. 

Ford is now offering two V6 engines in their full size truck, something that hasn't been done in years.  Ford assures consumers that all trucks will qualify as being Built Ford Tough.  The 3.5 liter V6 EcoBoost features a twin turbocharged engine for towing capabilities and great fuel economy.  The 3.7 liter V6 can tow 6,100 pounds and gives drivers 300 horsepower and 275 pound feet of torque.  The 5.0 liter V8 will tow 9,800 pounds and has 360 horsepower with 380 pound feet of torque.  Lastly, there is a 6.2 liter V8 that can tow an impressive 11,300 pounds!  Drivers will love the 411 horsepower and 434 pound feet of torque.

Dealers Begging For More Inventory;

Chrysler, GM, and Ford have scaled down inventories all throughout the nation, and it has affected many dealers adversely. Ford models can be purchased at a discount with the latest Ford Incentives. A Ford Dealership in Los Angeles asked for 100 Ford Fusion sedans in July, but the dealership only received 7 models. The dealer said that "I am begging for inventory across the board." Other dealers offer Volkswagen Specials for popular vehicle models like the Golf which have also been selling well.

Honda Louisville has had plentiful stocks of Honda vehicles which have also been selling well in the United States and recently made top ranking in a survey of the most desirable vehicles. Ford dealers are needing more supply of vehicles now. Ford, GM, and Chrysler have stopped building more vehicles than their customers want, and now for some vehicles like the Ford Fusion there is actually a waitlist to obtain it in some areas.

With dealers not being able to provide vehicles on customer demand, there is no question that they may be losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales per year potentially. The automakers reduced production is shown to increase profit, and this method has worked for all of the Big Three. However, dealers are hurt by the reduction in model numbers.

Dealers all throughout the country are hoping that American automakers start to produce more quantities of in-demand models, but that may not happen for a while as the Big Three attempt to continue to scale down production of unprofitable models and reduce overhead costs. GM said that it would increase production of the Equinox model and it is attempting to meet consumer demand without building too many vehicles which it did in the past. Building too many vehicles is shown to reduce profitability since new models will reduce in value over the years in which they are not sold.

Camaro vs Mustang!

Ford Motor Company makes some great vehicles, like the Ford F-150 and Mustang, both of which have greatly improved in quality over the past few years or so.  People always like to compare the American models, especially Ford and Chevrolet.  And when it comes to the truck market, people are interested even in the import model from Toyota Minneapolis.  But with the 2011 inventory beginning to arrive on the lots, let's see where your money will best be spent: on the 2010 Ford Mustang or the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro?  Keep in mind that if neither of these muscle performance cars is what you are looking for, there are always some great VW Deals that you can take advantage of, and several of their 2010 line up received Top Safety Pick Awards from the IIHS. 

The 2010 Chevy Camaro has a starting MSRP of $22,680 and is available in five trim levels; base model LS, 1LT, 2LT, 1SS, and 2SS.  The 2010 Ford Mustang starts out at $21,395 and comes as a coupe or convertible with four trim level choices; V6, V6 Premium, GT, and GT Premium.  Their fuel economy is virtually the same, each getting between 19-21 mpg. 

Safety features on the Camaro include standard anti-lock brakes, front and side curtain airbags, and stability and traction control.  OnStar comes on all GM vehicles free for one year, but the higher three trim levels have OnStar with navigation.  On the NHTSA crash tests rating of 5 stars being the best, it received 5 stars for front side impact and rollover, and 4 stars for passenger and driver ratings.  The 2010 Mustang comes standard with anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, and front and side curtain airbags.  It received 5 stars from the NHTSA for passenger, driver, rollover, and side impact front, while getting 4 stars for side impact rear. 

F-150 Line lives again?

Before you buy any where make sure you check out all of the amazing deals on modern luxury at Peoria VW. Also keep in mind to check out all of the amazing deals and prices at Hyundai Boston.

Chrysler CEO Defends Dealership Cuts;

80 percent of Chrysler's 2,315 dealerships have been profitable which is the highest level since 2003. Chrysler's CEO Sergio Marchionne defended the controversial dealership cuts to the brand which have brought much criticism over the past year. GM, one of Chrysler's major competitors, has also been doing well since cutting dealerships and GM's Chevy brand can be serviced at a Cincinnati Chevrolet Service.

GM, Ford, and Chrysler have been doing well since they made major shifts in their business models in 2009, and GM's top vehicles can be found at a GMC Buick Dallas dealership. Even German brands like BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen have still been doing well in spite of a rough economy, and VW Specials offer deals on Volkswagen's newest models.

Chrysler restored a small number of dealerships in arbitration and he said that those restorations are enough to vindicate Chrysler. The purpose of reducing dealerships was to reduce inventories. A reduction of inventories allows dealerships to have a wave of new products coming in. Marchionne explained, “We have been able to restrain ourselves from stuffing the distribution channel and forcing our dealers to keep exorbitant amounts of stock. Now we're ready to receive an onslaught of products.”

One vehicle that has been selling well is the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The redesigned Grand Cherokee went on sale early in July and it is doing better than expected. Chrysler currently has orders for 70,000 of the model and may add a third shift at one of its factories in order to keep up with demand for the model. There is increased demand for both SUV and Jeep models throughout the United States for 2010 as consumer confidence in gas prices increases. Chrysler added a second shift for its workers in July due to increased demand for a Dodge seven seat crossover that is built on the Grand Cherokee platform.

American Trucks!

The F-150 Inventory has been selling quickly, and that is because Ford engineers did some upgrades to improve the overall quality of their vehicles.  Just stop by any Ford Dealer Minneapolis to check out the truck line-up and see what it means to be built Ford Tough.  VW will offer you some quality SUVs and amazing fuel efficient cars, but they don't have anything to compete with an American quality truck.

Dodge offers a wide array of vehicles to choose from, but their trucks are known for their longevity and performance reputation.  The Ram 1500 will start at $21,510 and there are lots of options you can do to upgrade the size of your truck.  The Dodge Dakota starts out at $23,495.  The biggest trucks Dodge offers are the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500, which start out at $28,165.

IIHS Truck Ratings: U.S. Trucks Unsafe!

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety announced their crash test ratings for 2010 model trucks.  Forbes compiled a list of the 7 most unsafe trucks available on the market right now, and the results are shocking for Brandon Chevrolet Parts!  Chevy, GM, and Ford have consistently been known for their outstanding vehicle safety ratings, but the Chevy Colorado Crew Cab made the bottom seven!  Consumers can continue to visit their local VW Dealer and rest assured that the vehicles they are purchasing have excellent safety ratings.  But if you are getting a vehicle from Used Car Dealer Kansas City, make sure you ask lots of questions about the safety ratings.  Better advice is to do the research yourself because those salesmen might withhold some of the negative information from you.  An example would be saying they have good ratings for front impact crash tests, but fail to mention that they didn't do so well for the rear impact or rollover portions! 

If a truck received a good rating, it means that the crash test dummies did not incur any damage.  However, a poor rating means that the dummies were severely or fatally injured!  The seven trucks that made the list include: GMC Canyon Crew Cab, Hummer H3, Nissan Titan, Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab, Jeep Wrangler 4-Door, Jeep Wrangler 2-Door, and Dodge Ram 1500.  Notice how many of those are American brands!  To make the picture seem a bit brighter, most of the trucks available and purchased are from domestic manufacturers. 

There was a total of 12 points possible, with rating scores of good, acceptable, marginal, and poor.  The four areas there were tested were front impact, side impact, rear impact, and rollover.  Not all vehicles underwent the rollover test, but their scores were properly adjusted to take that into consideration.

Escape With A Hybrid!

Hybrid vehicles seem to be the way to go anymore; you are going to save a ton on fuel costs over the lifetime of ownership and they seem to be holding up better than critics imagined.  You can get even large SUVs, such as the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid from any NC Chevy Dealer, that will save you a bit more on gas, but it is also going to come with a hefty price tag.  Plus, there are plenty of hybrids on the lot at Used Car Dealer Cheyenne if you want something smaller and with a more manageable price tag; you can get a used Ford Escape Hybrid for around $20,000-$25,000.  Keep in mind though that you can get a brand new Escape Hybrid for around $30,000 and the features on the newer models are always a bit more exciting.  In our American effort to save fuel, if you must buy an import, make sure you get a fuel efficient Volkswagen; even if you don't go for the hybrid, the clean burning diesel engine options are incredibly low on emissions!

The Hybrid Escape was released to the public in 2005 and was able to give drivers the power of a V6 engine with the fuel economy of a four cylinder; impressive!  Ford can proudly still say they have the most fuel efficient SUV available, but with as competitive as the auto industry is, Ford will need to keep continuously improving the Escape to keep that fuel economy reign.  Drivers can expect to get about 30 mpg from their 2.5 liter four cylinder engine.  Plus, Ford put an electronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) with the gas motor and two electric motors to give drivers an efficient and powerful 177 horsepower.  When the Escape Hybrid is stuck in traffic, the gas consumption drops to nothing and the vehicle is powered solely off the battery.  Plus, there is a regenerative brake system, so when you apply the brakes, the heat that is produced is able to recharge the battery acting as an energy source.

Ford Credit: Moving On Up!

Buyers who want to help boost the American economy should probably continue to buy domestic products.  Don't be too scared to use the American credit companies connected to the auto brand, either.  New reports indicate that Ford Motor Credit Company is stronger than ever, so go ahead and spend some time looking at the new Ford Taurus.  Buyers still might worry about using Ford Motor Credit after the 2008 credit fiasco, but since then, the credit company has regained their financial strength, almost to the point prior to the 2008 credit incident.  Almost all auto brands offer their own in-house financing; I'm sure if you were to go to a Volkswagen Dealer, they would be able to give you some great incentives.  The same thing goes for any of the Seattle Honda Dealers; right now, dealers are trying to clear out the 2010 inventory, so you should be able to get some great financing.  And shoppers have found that using the in-house credit services makes the entire buying process go smoother. 

Towards the end of 2008, Ford Credit was a strong source of financing, and they made up 46% of all deals financed on a purchase from Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury.  One year later, they only accounted for 29% of the total retail sales in the United States.  But for the first half of 2010, 32% of sales from Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury have been financed through Ford Motor Credit Company.  In addition to that, Ford Credit has been able to finance 81% of the dealer inventory purchases, which is an increase from only 78% last year. 

In case you have forgotten how dismal things were back in late 2008, here is a brief recap.  For September 2008, Ford auto sales were down by 33.8%, which was a lot more than the anticipated 22% drop.  General Motors sales went down by 15.6%, and they actually fared better then their anticipated 26% decline.  Overall, Americans only purchased 964,873 vehicles for the month of September in 2008, and that was the first time in 15 years that monthly sales in the United States dropped below one million.
