Ram Laramie Longhorn Edition Ranks Third on America’s Top Truck Contenders List

Laramie LonghornFor 2013, Chrysler jumped into the luxury truck business with its own Western-themed upscale pickup: the Ram Laramie Longhorn Edition. It has been more than well received by truck lovers across the country – Car & Driver called it “a limousine that can handle mulch.” The 2013 Ram got a new front end, an all-new interior and a new V6 engine. The glitzy redo helped double Ram’s percentage of high-end sales from five years ago; its sales went up nearly 50% in April for the biggest gain of any manufacturer. Chrysler designers have created a new brand of rugged luxury in the 2013 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn Edition, which is evident in its number three ranking on the list of 10 Contenders for America’s Top Truck.

The FR-S, a Scion and a Subaru?

FRS and BRZI think we can all agree that the new Scion FR-S is the coolest addition to the Scion family; the Japanese automaker is known for being a reliable and affordable brand with some unique product offerings. The FR-S, however, has taken Scion on a journey, as it’s Scion’s first true sports coupe. Rear-wheel drive is mated to a Subaru 2.0L Boxer engine and a six-speed manual transmission. Yes you read correctly, that’s a Subaru engine under the hood of this Scion. Subaru and Scion teamed up to produce two sports coupes, the Scion FR-S and the Subaru BRZ. It may be a bit of a surprise that the FR-S comes with a touch of Subaru, but combine that with Scion finishes and it makes for one serious Sport Coupe. Continue reading

Lincoln MKZ may get a Second Chance

MKZThe 2013 Lincoln MKZ was launched last year, and although it was one of the most innovative and beautiful Lincolns yet, it proved to give Lincoln Motor Company more problems than promise. The 2013 Lincoln MKZ launch was not the best for the Lincoln Motor Company due to a lack of availability of the vehicle. Just as the company started pumping up the advertising for the vehicle launch (and in fact, a complete brand re-launch), Lincoln became plagued with supply issues affecting production and delivery of the vehicles. The lack of product to sell turned excited car buyers off to the MKZ and the Lincoln brand, pushing them toward other automotive companies. It appears as though Lincoln Motor Company wants to give the MKZ a second chance to steal the spotlight for good by re-launching the luxury sedan! Continue reading

Move Over SUV, the 2013 Santa Fe CUV is Here

2013 Santa Fe CUVIt’s no secret that Americans have grown increasingly fonder of the Crossover Utility Vehicle, better known as the CUV, rather than the outdated Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). Whether it’s the blurred line between SUV and Sedan, the surprising roominess, or the great gas mileage, the CUV is quite the crowd pleaser with most American drivers. Keeping up with popular demand and staying ahead of the curve, Hyundai has hopped onto the CUV band wagon with its newest addition to an already award-winning lineup, the 2013 Santa Fe 7-passenger CUV. Not to be confused with the 2013 Santa Fe Sport, which seats 5, the Santa Fe is roomier and seats 7. The Santa Fe is positioned to compete primarily against Honda’s Pilot, Toyota’s Highlander and Nissan’s Pathfinder, and secondarily against the Ford Explorer and Mazda CX-9. All the models are roughly the same size and have three rows of seats, which make them attractive for families. Continue reading
