Cadillac’s Luxury Crossover : 2010 Cadillac SRX

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Cadillac’s Luxury Crossover Alternative Design, craftsmanship and performance in the 2010 SRX.

“Tall and lean” and “fresh and bold” are just some of the phrases being bandied about when talk turns to the 2010 Cadillac SRX. The SRX crossover features not only a completely new design, but also more efficient, high technology engine options, a wide stance, advanced electronics and state-of-the-art safety features.

The bold new look of the 2010 SRX features a multi-piece shield and grille, the vertical headlamps Cadillac is known for and sweeping lines that give it the feeling of motion even when parked. Cadillac’s famous craftsmanship is highlighted by the hand-cut and hand-sewn coverings on an instrument panel that features a popup navigation screen with 3D imaging and ambient lighting details. Adaptive forward lighting swivels the headlamps in sync with the steering. Even the scripted Cadillac logos in the front door sill plates light up when the doors are opened.

Inside the Incomparable 2009 Chrysler 300

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

Beyond impressive, the 2009 Chrysler 300 is borderline iconic. As powerfully intimidating as it is instantly recognizable, the 300 is a model of uncompromising luxury and elegance in an increasingly casual world.

Outside, the 2009 Chrysler 300 is powerful and imposing, yet equally refined and inviting. A flat front features the massive chrome mesh grille, highlighted by the sprawling Chrysler wings and flanking rounded headlamps carved into the face of the four-door. Available foglamps sit low on the corners of the 300’s front end.

Lines on the luxury sedan are long and simple, crafting a sense of elegant simplicity to complement the 300’s contemporary style. Sitting low and long on available 20-inch polished aluminum wheels, the 300 features very few intricate panels or crevices. Gaps are slim and tight, suggesting an almost painstaking attention to detail while wheel arches curve and taper smoothly and gently over the tires. The roofline is long and thick, lending itself to a more modern, more aggressive limousine than most other sedans. Beautifully placed chrome accents around windows and along the sides convey an unmistakable sense of refinement and luxury.

The 2010 GMC Terrain Demands Attention – For All the Right Reasons
This crossover has it all, from an ECO button to a seat-mounted DVD system.

With the fuel-efficiency of a compact, the agility of a sportscar and the design details of a luxury SUV, the 2010 Terrain is a bold new addition to GMC’s lineup. With lots of standard features and best-in-class rear legroom, this vehicle is a perfect fit for busy lifestyles.

The 2010 GMC Terrain is a crossover that gives its driver and four passengers the best in comfort and style. A 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder Spark-Ignition Direct Injection (SIDI) engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) develops 182 hp and 174 lb/ft of torque, and boasts a best-in-segment EPA-estimated highway fuel economy rating of 32 mpg. Simply push the ECO button and the torque converter lockup speed will be reduced to 1,125 rpm to help conserve fuel. For more power and towing capacity with the same earth-friendly attitude, consider the 3.0-liter DOHC SIDI VVT V6, which will give you 264 hp and 222 lb/ft of torque. A standard six-speed automatic transmission maximizes performance and fuel economy with both engines.
