    Chrysler Ties Up With U.S. Bank To Expand Leases

    Chrysler has just inked a new partnership with U.S. Bank to expand leasing options.

    Starting this month, a new leasing deal will be offered on new Chrysler 300, Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Charger, Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Journey, Dodge Nitro, Jeep Wrangler, and Jeep Liberty models.

    While Ally Bank remains Chrysler's preferred lender, Chrysler leases through U.S. Bank will be "at the most competitive rates and residuals available in the market today," according to message from Chrysler to its dealerships.

    Ally had previously opened up leasing to higher-risk customers—those with a FICO credit score of 620 to 660, the upper end...

    U.S. 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Production Starts, Deliveries Begin Soon September 8th, 2010 By Nelson Ireson's avatar Nelson Ireson, September 8th, 2010 Nelson Ireson comment now!

    U.S. 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Production Starts, Deliveries Begin Soon

    If you've been eagerly awaiting your own 2011 Cruze or are just anxious to see them up close at the dealership, your wait is nearly over. The first Cruze models built in the U.S. rolled off the line today, headed to dealerships all over the country.

    The Cruze is built for the U.S. at GM's 4,500-worker Lordstown, Ohio plant. The conservatively styled yet sophisticated and relatively inexpensive sedan is Chevrolet's first real foray into the compact car market in years, following on the largely forgettable effort from the Cobalt.

    Tim Allen will be backing the new 2011 Cruze's rollout as part of his gig as the new voice of Chevrolet. You may...

  • 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost

    2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost

    New for 2010, the 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost continues to carve out a new luxury niche that the uber-luxury brand has long left to lesser brands--brands like Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW.

    With a whole new styling language that's a little less baroque than its big sibling, the Phantom, the Ghost is a much more effective blend of modern and traditional luxury cues. It also keeps a good visual distance from the car it's in part derived from, the BMW 7-Series. The Ghost's front end sits tall, with a tipped-back grille framed in stainless steel that extends back on the hood, if specified as such by its well-heeled owner. It's a great detail...

    2011 Porsche Panamera The Basics:

    Sports car handling, German engineering, Porsche styling and...four doors? The Panamera again has strayed well outside Porsche's well-trodden sports car heritage to become one of the world's best sports sedans.

    The 2011 Porsche Panamera is no four-door coupe, like the Aston Martin Rapide or the Mercedes-Benz  CLS, but a true "gran turismo," with tremendous power, great handling, and ample room for four real-world adults.

    But in an attempt at a traditional sedan silhouette, in combination with an actual fastback body style and the need for practicality, the design purity gets tainted just a little bit. Even the...

    2011 Porsche Cayenne The Basics:

    Seen by high-end luxury shoppers as either a practical way into ownership of a prestigious sports-car brand or by longtime Porschephiles as a bit sacrilegious and a necessary evil for keeping the brand aloft financially, the Porsche Cayenne has turned into Porsche's best-selling model and is definitely here to stay. But for 2011, Porsche has redesigned the Cayenne to improve its performance on the road and track while maintaining its level of off-road capability.

    The 2011 Porsche Cayenne has become a little more svelte in appearance and officially gets all-new sheetmetal, but unless you take a look at a 2010 and 2011 model side...

  • 2011 Kia Sportage

    2011 Kia Sportage The Basics:

    We used to call them “cute-utes.” From the Ford Escape, to the Honda CR-V on to the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage, a generation of small sport-utility vehicles were pitched at first-time shoppers in the hopes they’d trade up to bigger, higher-profit SUVs in the future.

    Now that the SUV time-space continuum’s been disrupted by gas prices and a sour economy, these compact crossovers are growing up a little, doing the reverse of their original intent. They’re becoming a good alternative for buyers trading down from the larger utes that fell out of fashion over what seems like a matter of months.

    2011 Chevrolet Corvette The Basics:

    The Chevrolet Corvette has long been a top performance bargain, but with improvements over the past two years, plus upgrades for 2011, the lineup just keeps getting better.

    The 2011 Chevrolet Corvette is a two-door coupe or convertible available in a range of performance trims, including base, Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1. It competes against the world's best sports cars and supercars, including the Nissan 370Z and GT-R, Porsche Boxster and 911, Dodge Viper, and even Italian exotics—depending on the trim chosen.

    The base Corvette coupe and convertible offer sport and style, the Grand Sport kicks it up a notch with track-worthy...

    2011 BMW 3-Series The Basics:

    With updated engines and an all-new 335is model, the 2011 BMW 3-Series improves on its formula of luxurious performance.

    The 2011 BMW 3-Series is a sporty midsize luxury car available in coupe, sedan, and convertible models. It competes primarily with the Audi A4/A5 family, Infiniti G37, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, each offering a different take on the concept of a luxury midsize sports vehicle.

    The 2011 3-Series goes on sale toward the end of the summer and sits between the 1-Series and 5-Series in BMW's range. The core of the range is built around 328i, 335i, and 335is models, with both rear- and all-wheel-drive models available....
