2012 Ford EdgeThe 2012 Ford Edge offers mid-size crossover shoppers five passenger seating and a healthy 69 cubic feet of total storage space with the rear row folded forward. The Ford Edge can also be ordered with equipment like the SYNC vehicle interface, the MyFord Touch digital gauge package, heated leather seats and a number of other premium features such as adaptive cruise control, a sunroof and HID headlights.
The 2012 Ford Edge features three available engines. The base model is outfitted with a 3.5-liter V-6 that generates 285 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque while returning 19 miles per gallon in city driving and 27 miles per gallon on the highway. Better fuel economy (21 miles per gallon around town and 30 miles per gallon highway) is available from the optional EcoBoost 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This unit also puts out 240 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of twist. The Ford Edge Sport benefits from the stoutest power plant of all, a 3.7-liter V-6 rated at 305 horses and 280 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission is matched with all three engines, and all-wheel drive is also available as an option with the Edge.
There is a financing incentive of 2.9% interest or $1,000 cash back on the 2012 Ford Edge available until 01/03/2012.
2011 Nissan RogueThe 2011 Nissan Rogue is a compact crossover that aims to provide a more engaging driving experience than many of the other vehicles in its class. A well-tuned chassis transforms the Nissan Rogue into a slick handler, and its five passenger seating and 57.9 cubic feet of total cargo space also make it a solid option for families on the go.
All versions of the 2011 Nissan Rogue feature the same 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. This motor is capable of generating 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque, and whether the Rogue is ordered with front-wheel or optional all-wheel drive it features the same continuously-variable automatic transmission. Fuel mileage for the crossover checks in at 22 miles per gallon in stop and go driving and 28 miles per gallon on the highway.
There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest or $750 cash back on the 2011 Nissan Rogue available until 10/31/2011.
2011 Dodge AvengerThe 2011 Dodge Avenger is an affordable mid-size sedan that comes with muscular styling and a long list of standard features. Each edition of the Dodge Avenger offers power windows and door locks, air conditioning, a CD player and cruise control, while additional items such as a hard drive for storing digital music files, a navigation system, leather seats and a sunroof can also be added to the vehicle's equipment list.
The 2011 Dodge Avenger starts out with a 173 horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood. Also capable of generating 166 lb-ft of torque, this unit features a fuel economy rating of 21 miles per gallon city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway. A 3.6-liter V-6 serves as the Avenger's drivetrain upgrade, and it packs 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque while dropping fuel economy only slightly (19 miles per gallon city / 29 miles per gallon highway). The four-cylinder can be had with either a four or six-speed automatic transmission, depending on trim level, but the V-6 is exclusively matched with a six-speed auto.
There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest or $3,000 cash back on the 2011 Dodge Avenger available until 10/31/2011.
2011 Chevrolet CorvetteThe 2011 Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most potent sports car bargains on the market, even before incentives are applied to its MSRP. The Chevrolet Corvette comes with a stiff suspension system, a fiberglass body shell, a near-perfect weight balance and meaty tires at all four corners. It can also be equipped with luxury gear that includes leather sport seats, a head-up display and a Bose stereo system.
The 2011 Chevrolet Corvette offers a standard 6.2-liter V-8 engine that churns out 430 ponies and 424 lb-ft of torque. Even more impressive is the coupe's fuel economy rating: this powerful mill features an EPA rating of 16 miles per gallon in city driving and 26 miles per gallon on the highway - not bad for a car that can zip to 60-mph in just 4.5 seconds. Buyers can choose between either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission with the Corvette.
There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest or $3,000 cash back on the 2011 Chevrolet Corvette available until 10/31/2011.
2012 Lincoln MKSThe 2012 Lincoln MKS full-size sedan is the luxury brand's flagship, and as such it boasts a significant amount of passenger room as well as a large trunk. Also in the cards for the Lincoln MKS is a boatload of available high tech gear, including such "nice to have" features and options as the Sync vehicle interface, a navigation system, a blind spot monitoring system and adaptive cruise control.
The 2012 Lincoln MKS offers up a 3.7-liter V-6 as its standard engine, and the unit pushes out a healthy 275 horsepower and 276 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive can be had as an option with this motor, and a six-speed automatic pulls duty as the only available gearbox for the sedan. Fuel economy for the V-6 shows as 17 miles per gallon in city driving and 24 miles per gallon on the highway. Opting for the EcoBoost model retains the six-speed, makes all-wheel drive standard and swaps in a twin-turbo, 3.5 liter V-6 that is good for 355 horsepower and 355 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy actually improves with the more robust engine (17 miles per gallon around town and 25 miles per gallon during highway cruising), meaning that buyers pay no penalty for the increase in performance.
There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest plus $500 cash back or $2,000 total cash back on the 2012 Lincoln MKS available until 01/03/2012.
