2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4X4

2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4X4

A reader asked us if the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4×4 van really as capable as Mercedes-Benz say it is. Yes it is and to prove it we are going to put it through it’s paces in British Columbia. You might think of Mercedes-Benz as a luxury brand, but in fact their commercial division defines the segment in many parts of the world. These large cargo vans are just known as Sprinter vans regardless of the manufacturer. Mercedes-Benz showed off their latest luxury vehicles in New York last week including the replacement for the ML, the new luxury passenger 5 seater SUV the GLE.

So when it comes to 4X4 vans how does the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter stack up? These vehicles are tough, 60% of the buyers are construction companies. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter serves multiple user needs. 5 models, and no competitor offers a 4X4. 30% of vans in New York are Mercedes-Benz Sprinters and I like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as much as the next guy. But the fact that you only have to service them every 20,000 miles. A 7 foot tail person can stand up in one and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has 600 cubic feet of space. Added to this the rough and ready 4X4 capability makes them a great business choice.

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be a star of the new Jurassic World movie, which I am sure will make it more popular. Now for the bad news, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4X4 are sold out until September. The success is so high that Mercedes-Benz are bringing a new smaller van to America in October the Metris. It will start under $30,000. The 4X4 system will cost you an extra $6,500 but since the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the only one that offers a 4X4 system it’s the best in class.

Why Buy An All Wheel Drive

Why Buy An All Wheel Drive

Went to some of the roughest condition we could find in North America. Montreal the roads are packed with snow and the temperatures were 25 below freezing so this is the perfect condition to test some All Wheel Drive systems. All Wheel Drive or four wheel drive systems are not just becoming popular with those people that have to navigate freezing icy and snowy conditions, sales are up in the entire country since the vehicles are actually more controllable.

Dealing with unexpected weather or even driving your vehicle onto the beach is much simpler with an all wheel drive system. The on road handling is much more controlled. This is why companies like Audi have all wheel drive in supercars like the R8. The rough conditions in Montreal allow me to test the these vehicles in the worst conditions possible. So who are the winners and who are the losers.

Ram trucks, a no brainer, especially when you include an Eco-Diesel version. the 1500, the 2500, and the Power Wagon eat the snow almost as if it didn’t exist. Needless to say, playing with a snow plow on the Ram 2500 was like being five again in the sandbox. The same goes for the Jeep lineup. It’s almost like the snow didn’t exist and we didn’t play nicey nice. Jeep built an off road course that tested the limits of the vehicles. This course tested hill climbing and dissent, traction control and articulation. The vehicles that got top marks included the all new Jeep Renegade, Jeep Cherokee and the Ram Power Wagon on this “not found in nature” off road course.

2015 Ford Edge

2015 Ford Edge

We went down to Scottsdale Arizona to test drive the brand new Ford Edge. Completely remodeled for 2015 this vehicle has a lot of interesting new features but the most impressive thing to me was the drive and handling. A large family SUV from Ford suddenly got a huge boost in handling and driving capabilities. Ford engineers have been working on making the all new Ford Edge better for well over a decade and the result was worth the wait.

Ford have had 4 years of record sales for the Ford Edge. This is a vehicle that help create the segment now known as a CUV, or Crossover Utility Vehicle; and has maintained its status as #1 in the segment for some time. Crossover vehicles will make up 29% of vehicles sold in the US in 2020 a growth of 4%. 50% of those buyers are women and 60% will keep coming back to the brand for new cars year after year after year.

The Ford Edge has some startling technology in it obstacle avoidacne systems. Vehicle assed parking systems and part out systems that will help get you out of a parking place. The Ford Edge has 3 engine choices, up to 315HP and incorporates Ford’s EcoBoost Technologies. We noticed when looking at the 0-60 times that the Ford Edge on paper loked faster than a BMW X5. So you know we had to put it to the test. The Ford Edge beat the X5 with .1 seconds to spare, and for about $15,000 less that is a very impressive buy.

Pretty immersive vehicle, starting price for the 2015 Ford Edge is just under $29,000 fully loaded the vehicle could be way up into the 30’s and even the $40,000 dollar range and they should be in dealerships shortly.

2015 Subaru Legacy

2015 Subaru Legacy

When we buy something we like it to last, especially when it’s a big purchase like a car. Subaru have the longest lasting midsize sedan in America right now. 96% of Subaru Legacys sold are still on the road. Maybe that is why the company is experiencing good financial times. Well Subaru having some record sales right now, they reported a 22% increase last month from that same time period last year that is 29 months year over year increase in sale. Subaru’s best selling vehicle, is the Forester.

The 2015 Subaru Legacy has four different trim levels. A 4-cylinder and a V6. The best fuel economy that you can possibly get is 26 in the city and 36 on the highway. that is a combined fuel economy of 30 MPG and that is the best combined All-Wheel drive in America. Now the truth is Subaru have had pretty poor interiors of their vehicles, but the 2015 Subaru Legacy has a 7 inch large display. That is new for them. Now it goes on sale for just over $21,000 starting price.

The History Of The Volkswagen Beetle

The History Of The Volkswagen Beetle

Every kid know the most famous road trip game in the country, “Slug Bug”. When you see a Volkswagen Bug on the road you call out the color and tap your travel partner lightly on the arm, “Slug Bug Red.. or White, or Green”. The Volkswagen Bug has come a long way in the last 77 years. It was originally called the Type 1. Europe needed a mass produced economical vehicle that could transport it’s population. Porsche were originally contracted to design and build this new vehicle. Little did Ferdinand Porsche know that this would become the longest running most manufactured car of a single design platform worldwide.

Although it was originally designed in the 19th it is the Beetle was only produced in civets, significant numbers. Starting in the year 1945. The Volkswagen Beetle was always a multipurpose vehicle. It could sustain high speeds on the motorway or autobahn. It could be used for racing and it was clearly a trendsetter. Vehicles like the Fiat Cinquecento and the Mini were all inspired from the Volkswagen Beetle.

In 1998 Volkswagen introduced the new Volkswagen Beetle and even in the 2015 model year, the vehicle retains an unmistakable look. The Volkswagen Beetle is still on the list of affordable subcompact and affordable convertible cars in America. It has become more manly in recent years with wider hips and wider shoulders, a more plummeted stomps animal menacing look. The new Volkswagen Beetle comes in multiple different configurations gasoline, diesel turbocharged, and even a Volkswagen Beetle R line which inherits some racing characteristics from Volkswagen’s long associated relationship with the track. The 2015 Volkswagen Beetle can get up to 41 MPG with the diesel version. The two ups and one down for this car is great starting price at $20,695, spirited drive, and the down would have to be back seat is a little hard to get into.

Preview Of The 2015 Portland International Auto Show

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.

Best Car Superbowl Ads of 2015

Best Car Superbowl Ads of 2015

One of the biggest parts of the Superbowl is the advertisements. This year fewer automakers placed ads in the big game. The controversy of ads in the big game started well before this years match with TV’s Katie Couric. She was a BMW ambassador for the new BMW i3 add but she admitted that she actually drives an Audi. The BMW ad showing off the i3 was a bit of a miss. If the past hosts of The Today Show can’t figure out an electric car, what hope does the rest of mankind have?

Kia comes into the game with a stacked deck after being our choice for winner last year, and this year they pulled even more from the magicians hat with James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan. Pierce is being pitched a new roll that includes him driving the new Kia Sorento. Lots of special effects are finished off with pierce asking if he can keep the car. Jeep pulls at our heartstrings with their rendition of this land is your land. But this commercial was far from just about America. It shows the new Jeep Renegade all over the world. With new Jeep manufacturing plants being built in China and Brazil. This was Jeep telling us they are an international company. Dodge had some words of wisdom from those people who are older and told us they have learned a lot in a 100 years.

The clear crowning glory goes to an ad for the new Fiat 500x. When an Italian elderly lover lose his little blue pill. It pops into the gas tank of a Fiat 500. The result is the 500x. Only Fiat could do this. This was my best automotive ad of the Superbowl. Who would not want to drive a car that had taken a little blue pill. Although I pick a car commercial winner each year. Manufacturers hope they will all be winners with big sales from the Big Game.

Drifting Americas Newest Automotive Sport

Drifting Americas Newest Automotive Sport

We are all familiar with motor sports like Formula One, NASCAR, and Rally Racing. But a new motor sport is emerging in America, imported from Japan. Films like the Fast and Furious first introduced Americans to the sport of drifting. This new sport has gone from grass roots, all the way to PRO/AM enthusing a whole new generation of Americans. You will find everyone from weekend warriors to full time professionals drifting on anything from small town tracks to full on professional circuits. Loren Haleston got bitten by the drifting bug and formed a film company. LORENINHD that specializes in capturing the breath taking moments of drifting.

There is no shortage of smoke, noise and horsepower. Drivers have to a toolbox of skills and be able to execute precision driving maneuvers at high speed. These skill are evaluated by judges who choose a winner. One form of racing is the 32 car elimination style similar to drag racing. Fans are exposed to everything from graceful moves to the real dangers of a high speed racing.

Crowds are beginning to flock to see this new sport. Part of the attraction to drifting is the super modified cars with power ratings from 500 to 1200 horsepower. Theses cars never fail to rip tires in an smokey display. It is a highly competitive sport, the sound, the smell and the high octane fuels create fierce rivalry. It’s becomes a recipe for spectator entertainment.

It may look easy, but drivers coordinate between traction, shifting, braking and steering putting their vehicle at a precise positioning on the track. It doesn’t always go smoothly. With speeds up to 100 miles an hour one missed step could put a driver into the wall. The amazing pit crews can rebuild these cars somethings in just an hour or two. It’s exciting for the fans. A cross between drag racing, ballet, and destruction derby. Drifting at this level touches every region of the country. Look up the schedule at formulad.com for a race event near you.

Rolls-Royce Wraith

Rolls-Royce Wraith

Rolls-Royce proudly presents the world debut of Wraith, the most powerful and dynamic Rolls-Royce in history. At its heart lie hallmark Rolls-Royce attributes of luxury, refinement and hand-craftsmanship, but the new model from the world’s pinnacle super-luxury marque also presents a unique character defined by power, style and drama. With just a hint of the noir.

Rolls-Royce Chairman and BMW Group board member Harald Krüger added the following: “The BMW Group today reconfirms its full commitment to the future of Rolls-Royce. Growth and a prosperous future lie ahead thanks to continued investment, careful brand stewardship and the launch of groundbreaking new models like Rolls-Royce Wraith, a magnificent addition to the product range.”

In profile, Wraith’s sweeping fastback design gives the car its unique character. Bold lines, tension in the panels and a raked rear screen evoke the image of a world class athlete poised in the starting blocks. Further expression of dynamic intent can be seen in Wraith’s deeply recessed grille, wide rear track and dramatic two-tone presentation.

Coach doors open to reveal a sumptuous interior complete with softest Phantom-grade leathers and expanses of wood called Canadel Panelling. Named after the famous cove in the South of France where Sir Henry Royce and his design and engineering teams spent their winters, this contemporary and tactile finish sweeps through the interior, cosseting four occupants in a space bathed in light and warmth.

The interior ambiance is complemented by Starlight Headliner, a Bespoke feature available beyond Phantom family cars for the first time. 1,340 fibre optic lamps are hand-woven into the roof lining to give the impression of a glittering, starry night sky.

Performance delivers on the promise of Wraith’s styling. Power delivery is effortless, but dramatic, thanks to a V12 engine married to 8-speed automatic ZF transmission. 624 bhp / 465kW is available to the driver while the 0-60 mph sprint is achieved in 4.4 seconds, compared with 563 bhp / 420kW and 0-60 in 4.7 seconds for Ghost.

From 1,500 rpm 800 Nm of torque is available (780 Nm for Ghost), while a wide rear track, shorter wheelbase and lower roof height further contribute to the most powerful, involving driving experience of any Rolls-Royce in history. The car’s suspension has also been tuned to minimise body roll and discreetly amplify feedback when cornering; while steering weight is heavier at high speeds and lighter at low speeds adding to the spirited drive.

However, Wraith is no GT bruiser. Agility improvements have been achieved with absolutely no compromise to the sensation of riding on a bed of air. Furthermore, the debut of Satellite Aided Transmission (SAT) technology takes the powertrain to a new level of effortless delivery, one that perfectly suits the Rolls-Royce brand.

Year In Review

Year In Review

2014 will definitely be a year to remember in the Auto Industry. With record recalls, record sales, and record-breaking vehicle power. Especially in the recall department over 60,000,000 vehicles are being recalled, that’s double the previous peak in 2004. The most notable recall is the General Motors ignition switch recall which has already been linked to 42 deaths. It’s been an especially rough year for General Motors, with 27,000,000 recalls out of the 60,000,000 coming from their stables.

But all those recalls haven’t slowed new car sales. December is expected to be up by 10.4% over last year and US consumers will have purchased more than 16.5% million vehicles in 2014. That’s 5.8% higher than 2013 and the trend is expected to continue into 2015. New cars have got away from Mid-Size and become either bigger or smaller than in previous years. A new Full-Size Escalade, a new Lincoln Navigator, a new Chevy Tahoe, and a new Volkswagen Touareg all appeared on the larger end. On the smaller end of the scale this year sees a new Honda CR-v, a Mini Four-Door, a Fiat 500X, and Mercedes-Benz brought their small SUV, the GLA to the market. Mazda promised to make a mini SUV called the CX-3 as well.

Horsepower went up and engine size went down. Small EcoBoost engines will be available in the Ford Mustang which is celebrating 50 years. Dodge threw down the gauntlet with their 707 horsepower Hellcat, upping the acceptable horsepower for an everyday driver.

My car of the year for 2014 is the all new Hyundai Genesis. The most perfect car the company has ever made in every aspect. On the Truck side the Ram 1500 Ec0-Diesel. At 25 miles a gallon and all the amenities of a luxury vehicle. This outstanding Ram breaks the barriers of what most people considerer to be a truck.
