Preview Of The 2015 Portland International Auto Show
The 2015 Portland International Auto Show will take place at the Oregon Convention Center and this year they have some surprises at the show. Including electric cars from Kia, BMW, and Volkswagen. The The Portland International Auto Show will also have the new Chrysler 300 and for first time in Portland a Bugatti Veyron.
When we do well in life we like to reward ourselves. Often those rewards are cars. Now the ultimate reward is obviously a luxury car. It has to have supple leather seats and all the latest gadgets and bits of flashy modern technology, and lets not forget it needs to perform like a thoroughbred racehorse. With a starting price of $54,000 dollars and a combined gas consumption of 18 miles a gallon, the new Kia K9000 is about $20,000 dollars less than some of it’s European competitors. The K900 is definitely fit for a King. Kia has become known as the challenger brand in America, breaking down the ideas of what we thought a luxury car was, and showing us a different road. The price is not the only thing that makes the K900 attractive. Exquisite interior materials and let’s not forget the reclining rear seats. That’s the cherry on the top of this luxury cake. At this years Portland International Auto Show you can get up close and personal with a new premium Land Rover, The Discovery Sport. Starting at just $37,995 dollars. This it looks like the best small Land Rover the company has ever produced. What sets it apart from it’s competitors is a two liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. A nine speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive that promises controlled and precise all weather performance. Of course, it’s has Land Rover’s terrain response system which can cope with sand, snow, rocks, mud and on the inside there is seating for seven. The Jaguar F-Type, is at this top of my list of what to buy with my lottery winnings. The F-Type Coupe starts at just $65,000 dollars, which is a highly competitive price in the premium segments, and with its power, agility and distinctive drive the F-Type is a true sports car engineered for high performance and responsive handling a beautiful distinguished body. Supercharged engines, lightweight aluminum construction and advanced driving technologies all deliver an experience that is intuitive, instinctive and definitely makes me feel alive.
All green cars are going to be in one place at this years Portland International Auto Show. The clean Tech Center will have some of the most expensive green cars like the Porsche Panamera Hybrid to every day cars like the all electric Nissan Leaf Last year Nissan sold over 30,000 Leafs. The leaf is becoming a go to car for people who have never considered an electric car and is even attracting customers as far away as Iceland. The Volkswagen E-Golf makes it’s debut at the Portland International Auto Show this year. Hot off the heals of the Golf winning North American Car Of The year, the E-Golf was also named as the North West Electric Car Of The Year. The Golf Platform was designed to fit almost any power train diesel, gas, or electric. One of the biggest attraction of the E-Golf is that it looks just like the gas Golf, but under the god is much greener. The dimensions of the Volkswagen E-Golf are almost identical to the regular Golf. The E-Golf’s 700-pound, 24.2-KWH Lithium Ion battery pack fits flat under the floor, and doesn’t impinge on cargo or passenger interior space. With quite running the 115HP engine is quite enough to pass other cars on the freeway and get you up to speed when you put your foot down. Ford will be showing off their C-MAX at the show with seating for 5 and an fuel economy of 42 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the high way it’s a penny saver. The C-Max is perfect for North West Living with ample cargo space, a small foot print and the size that is easy to park in the city. American car maker Chevrolet will have the Spark electric on display. Starting at under $20,000 the spark can go 82 miles on a charge and brings home the Kelly Blue Book cost to own award.
