The New Honda CR-Z is Here!

IT HAS ARRIVED!

Yes, we had a transport truck pull on the lot yesterday with three of the all-new Honda CR-Z compact cars on the back--all of them for us. This exciting hybrid, two seat, zippy, little car is a throwback from the Honda CR-X, but is clearly refined and energetic.

GREAT PRICE POINT!

BASE 6 SPD MANUAL MSRP = $19,950

BASE CVT MSRP = $20,600

EX 6 SPD MANUAL MSRP = $22,160

EX CVT MSRP = $22,160

EX 6 SPD MANUAL W/NAV MSRP = $23,310

EX CVT W/NAV MSRP = $23,960

This vehicle is loosely based on the small Honda Fit compact platform. It is slightly shorter, several inches lower, but wider than the Fit. In looks, it has a more wider characteristic, and a slightly aggressive sports car design to the front end.

Powering the Honda's CR-Z is a 1.5 - Liter engine mated with a small electric motor. The gasoline-electric hybrid uses Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) technology that switches between the electric motor and gas engine for optimum fuel economy. It comes with the option of a 6-speed manual transmission or a Continually Various Transmission (CVT).

In America, this vehicle only comes as a two-seater, with cargo trays in the back where the jump seats would normally be. The back folds flat and there is a cargo shade that draws across that hides cargo from peering eyes through the back hatch. The model we show here comes with cloth floor mats.

This vehicle looks the part inside and out. The stylish interior has that urban metallic feel to it, and the lines on the exterior are clear-cut, edgy, and muscular.

Honda's mission in designing this vehicle was to make a small, energetic vehicle that is fun-to-drive while providing economical, clean technology that comes with all the comfort features and conveniences we have come to know and expect.

The instrument panel has a bright look to it. The steering wheel is similar to other Honda Models but the center tachometer gauge is more prominent and the blue illuminated panels with the digital speedometer with engine info graphics, warning lights and data are appealing to the eye.

This vehicle is geared towards those who don't have passengers to haul in their vehicle. Someone who wants a sporty two-seater, without having to hassle or wrangle with a soft top, or the commuter who wants something fun do drive back and forth to work.

You really need to come drive this car to experience how fun it really is!

Buick is Back!

The All-New 2011 Buick Regal

Buick is making a resurgence in the American marketplace. With General Motors focusing on four core brands, the American automotive manufacturer is building an arsenal of stylish, interesting, diverse, and reliable vehicles. GM's goal is to make the vehicles, across model lines, different in appearance, functionality, and price point while appealing to the American senses.

GM is doing this while adding "World Class" quality and global appeal to their brands. Their goal is to take common underpinnings and design uniquely styled vehicles for each of its core brands, Cadillac, Buick, GMC and Chevy.

Take the new Buick Regal as an example of all of this. Their use of a European styled vehicle (the Opal Insignia) combined with refined luxury elements, brings forth a luxury sport sedan that can compete with best import sedans in this segment. This European inspired sport sedan has luxury lines that suggest motion and fluidity from all angles, a smooth yet sporty ride that gives the driver (sport, tour and standard) personal adjustments, and premium interior materials.

THIS IS NOT THE BUICK OF OLD:

Buick is in complete makeover mode, with their new range of models, starting with the Enclave, the Lacrosse and now the Regal, Their new look is modern and 'fresh' with their focus on attention to detail, premium features and finely crafted interiors, that are second to none.

New Vehicle Profile - 2010 Buick Lacrosse

The newest vehicle in the Buick line-up is the 2010 Buick Lacrosse.

This is not your ordinary Buick. This large luxury sedan is stylish, sleek and refined but has a very sporty appearance. The 2010 Buick Lacrosse has been redesigned from the inside and out and portrays the new look of Buick, which has been designed for both North American and Chinese markets.

The 2010 Buick Lacrosse builds on the design elements of the Buick Enclave Crossover Vehicle. However, the only similarities are in its ‘waterfall’ grill.

As the flagship of the Buick brand, one look at it and you will see why it emphasizes General Motor’s commitment to ‘World Class’ standards in automotive manufacturing. The Lacrosse is the first car in the United States to ride on the new Epsilon II global front-wheel drive platform.

The Buick Lacrosse is offered in three models – CX, CXL and CXS.

POWERPLANTS/TRANSMISSION:

The CX and CXL comes standard with a direct-injection 3.0 liter V6 with 255 horsepower. Later in 2010 a direct-injection 2.4 liter 4-cylinder engine generating 182 horsepower will be available on the CL and CXL. The CXS has a 3.6 liter V6 with 280 horsepower. All are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that increases shift smoothness and better mpg highway than either a four or five speed transmission. All-wheel drive is available on the CXL.

DESIGN:

Every element, inside and outside bring energy and spirit to this new model. The sleek lines, refined interior and bold exterior portholes make this Buick stand apart from the competition.

SAFETY FEATURES:

Available safety features include ABS, traction control, Stabilitrack – antiskid control, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Blind-spot alert is also offered.

This crossover SUV is completely new from the ground up. It's beefy, rugged nature is true to the GMC brand, however its refinement is completely surprising.
