Audi TT Roadster 3.2 S tronic

Fall Fashion 2007
Top down, I pulled into my local WaWa for my usual morning pitstop. Before I drove off after a caffeine fill-up, no fewer than five people in the parking lot had stopped to sing the praises of the little Sahara Silver Metallic beauty.
Acura MDX
Fall Fashion 2007
Performance and sophistication remain the buzz words for Acura’s entry in the luxury SUV class.
Redesigned for 2007, the MDX delivers a bold, rich-looking first impression with its unique grille and crisp lines.
Ford F-250
Fall Fashion 2007

If you’re in the market for the ideal truck that can haul 3,170 pounds of E.P. Henry pavers for your weekend landscaping project, tow a boat just slightly smaller than the QE2 and can get you and five friends in and out of a Pine Barrens adventure, Ford’s F-250 Super Duty Crew Cab FX4 is the answer.

Jaguar XJ Super V8
Fall Fashion 2007
First impressions of Jaguar’s XJ series generate the adjectives you would expect. Stately. Refined. Elegant. They all work well to define this exceptional automobile. Add performance, comfort and driveability to the list and you’ve covered the essential elements of the Super V8.
Landrover LR 2
Fall Fashion 2007

If the choice comes down to a decision between the family SUV or the manly off-road experience, may we make a suggestion? Get yourself behind the wheel of Landrover’s all new LR2 and you’ll grab the best of both worlds.

Mazda CX-7
Fall Fashion 2007

“There is no doubt this SUV reflects Zoom-Zoom,” says Mazda’s program manager Shunsuke Kawasaki. “The CX-7 skillfully blends sports car verve with SUV practicality... inviting to look at, entertaining to drive, and fun to use.”

Mazda RX-8
Fall Fashion 2007

From the industry’s only rotary engine to the innovative free-style doors, the RX-8 is a sports car like no other. “The RX-8 is a sports car built for the real world; ideal for zooming around a track, but equally suitable for taking the kids to soccer practice. It is a true sports car that can pull double duty.”

Volvo S80
Fall Fashion 2007
Volvo has long held the philosophy of “safety first,” certainly a worthy mantra to live by. With the launch of the 2008 S80, Volvo has dramatically shown that they can indeed improve on that tradition while combining it with understated good looks and exceptional performance.
VW Rabbit
Fall Fashion 2007
It’s a name that hasn’t been heard or seen in Volkswagen showrooms since the mid-eighties but the Rabbit is back—and impressively so.

Hyundai Santa Fe

Summer 2007

The Hyundai Santa Fe: big, bold with a choice of fuel-efficient V6 powertrains. Add in a roomy, well-crafted interior, optional third-row seat and a starting price below its predecessor and clearly the 2007 Santa Fe raises the bar for value in the crossover segment.

Honda CR-V EX-L

Summer 2007
The all-new 2007 CR-V has been dramatically transformed, with a sleek new exterior and amenity-rich interior. If you are the one looking for a versatile interior with elegant styling, a nicely furnished cabin, strong resale value, and an affordable price, you’ll find what you’ve been looking for.
Toyota FJ Crusier
Summer 2007
The FJ Cruiser is the latest in a long line of celebrated off-road vehicles from Toyota. Its style statement combines with rugged performance ability to make this a viable off-road option—at a very impressive sticker price.
Mitsubishi Outlander
Summer 2007

Mitsubishi has launched an ad campaign to tell drivers that the Outlander can OutStart, OutRev, OutMusic, OutManuever, OutHandle, OutPace, OutRun, and ultimately “OutEverything everything,” A bold claim, to say the least, but maybe not all that far fetched.

Ford Escape
Summer 2007
The Ford Escape, America’s best-selling compact utility vehicle, has a completely new look inside and out for 2008. A bold, rugged exterior design and an all-new interior with more upscale appointments, storage options and quietness justifies a look-see.
Mazda 5 Touring
Summer 2007

The Mazda5 is a three-row, six-passenger sports vehicle infused with sports car inspiration. “In creating the MAZDA5, our designers and engineers set out to build a vehicle that offered superb comfort for six, and the versatility to complement the active family lifestyle,” said Jeff Horne, Mazda5 vehicle line manager. Mission accomplished, Jeff.

Toyota Camry Hybird
Summer 2007

The Camry is the third hybrid in Toyota’s lineup and will not hurt Camry’s ranking the best selling car in America eight out of the last nine years. A comfortable, well-appointed sedan, it has the look, feel and performance of a luxury vehicle.

Mercedes CLK550
