New Cars

Let’s say you’re just addicted to that “new car  smell” … here are a few that are great.

Hyundai has made great strides in the last few years in quality and performance.  The Sonata gets lots of accolades from industry experts  The Genesis and Equus are also great luxury cars and what they compete against priced significantly cheaper.

The domestics are also making some good cars these days.

Buick’s Lacrosse, for the money is fantastic and it’s very good looking.  If your looking for a cross over the Enclave is great also.

The New Ford Explorer is really quit nice, they should have changed the name because it’s not the same car.  The Flex is an interesting vehicle with nice appointments and drives well.

You can never go wrong buying a Honda or Toyota any model in the two lines will last for ever and they tend to hold their value much better than anything else.
