Auburn Hills, Mich., Oct 22, 2009 – Dodge today announced an exclusive production run of the 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic and SRT8 featuring the classic Plum Crazy Pearl Coat exterior color. Both Dodge Challenger models deliver the best of modern American muscle-car characteristics—unmistakable design, world-class handling, powerful HEMI® V-8 engines and technology—now with an extra dose of nostalgia.
Just think of all of the fast and fun cars you could buy for $42,000.00.
Or image how much money you could save by buying the first all electric roadster produced in the U.S.
But you don't have to image. According to a recent story published on Autoblog.com that's about how much money you'll get back in tax rebates if and when you buy a Tesla Roadster in Colorado, and you happen to live there as well.
The catch?
What’s more out of place than listening to old-school punk rock using a powerful 11-speaker Harman Kardon stereo in a Buick?
Liking it.
I’ve never been much of a Buick fan as they tend to represent the
doldrums of later life. I didn’t want to like this machine. But I did –
just a bit. It has a sleek body (but, it’s a Buick) excellent fit and
finish (but, it’s a Buick), excellent feature list (still, it’s a
Buick) good handling (remember: it’s a Buick!) and all wheel drive.
So what do you suppose is the most popular car color for 2009 so far?
If you guessed purple you'd be right—about it being the least popular color of car sold in the U.S. in 09.
It accounted for only 0.08 percent of all cars sold.
Other colors that did not sell well included:
This comparison might be called, “Separated After Birth”.
Ford used to own both brands; now a Middle Eastern group owns Aston and the Indian corporation Tata holds Jaguars reins. Once siblings with a common heritage, these two now go head to head as rivals.
So which is the better ride?
4-hours…that how long it took Neiman Marcus to sell all the special edition Jaguars it had in the 2009 Christmas catalog.
50-cars…that's how many limited-edition 2010 Celestial Black sedan XJL cars Neiman Marcus had on offer in this year's catalog.
$105,000-USD…that was price for the supercharged Jaguars 5-liter V-8 engine rated at 470 horsepower.
Do you recall the classic kids tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears?
You know when Goldilocks is in the bear chairs and proclaims, "This one is too big, and this one is too small, and of course, this one is just right!"
The current generation of Toyota's RAV4 is like that: just right.
When it debuted in 2006, it could have easily been considered an oxymoron — a luxury, hybrid sport utility vehicle? But with its series of upgrades, the newly named Lexus RX 450h has become mainstream in its short tenure.
The RX 450h no longer attracts a "wow-factor" response because it initiated a new vehicle segment. Instead, it garners attention for the same reasons as its siblings — class. In short, it deserves the manufacturer's luxury brand high praise reputation.
