2014 Ford Taurus

The 2014 Ford Taurus presents full-size sedan shoppers with a roomy and stylish offering that comes in a variety of different trim levels.  Even enthusiasts will be happy with the Ford Taurus provided it is ordered in its high performance SHO edition, which bundles in a long list of go-fast features.

The 2014 Ford Taurus is initially offered with a 3.5-liter V-6 that is good for 288 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque.  A fuel-efficient EcoBoost four-cylinder unit that displaces 2.0-liters is available as an option, and it generates 240 turbocharged horses and 270 lb-ft of torque while returning 22-mpg in city driving and 32-mpg on the highway.  The Taurus SHO benefits from a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 that produces 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.  Each of these engines is shifted via a six-speed automatic transmission, and while all-wheel drive is standard with the Taurus SHO, it's optional with the standard V-6.

There is an incentive of 0.0% financing plus $750 cash back or $4,500 total cash back on the 2014 Ford Taurus available until 03/31/2014.

2014 Nissan Pathfinder

The 2014 Nissan Pathfinder makes a strong play for family shoppers with its three rows of seating (for up to seven passengers) as well as 79.8 cubic feet of total cargo space.  As big on the inside as it is on the outside, the Nissan Pathfinder drives much like a large sedan thanks to its car-like platform.

The 2014 Nissan Pathfinder's base engine is a 3.5-liter V-6 that be counted on to provide 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque.  A continuously-variable automatic transmission sends that output to the front wheels by default, although all-wheel drive can be ordered as an option.  Fuel economy figures for the Pathfinder are listed at 20-mpg in stop and go driving and 26-mpg on the highway.

There is an incentive of 0.0% financing plus $500 cash back or $2,000 total cash back on the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder available until 03/31/2014.

2013 Chevrolet Equinox

The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox is an affordable compact SUV that prioritizes efficiency and practicality.  The Chevrolet Equinox can transport up to five passengers, or accommodate a respectable 63.7 cubic feet of luggage with its rear row folded forward.

The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox is initially equipped with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine that generates 182 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque.  Fuel mileage for this motor, which is yoked to a six-speed automatic, shows as 22-mpg around town and 32-mpg on the highway.  A 3.6-liter V-6 that offers 301 ponies and 272 lb-ft of twist can be selected as an option (and makes use of the same transmission), and all-wheel drive is also available with the Equinox.

There is an incentive of 0.0% financing or $1,500 cash back on the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox available until 03/31/2014.

2014 Dodge Charger R/T - 0.0% or $2,500 - 03/31/2014

The 2014 Dodge Charger R/T is a fun, rear-wheel drive (in base form) full-size sedan that enjoys comparison to muscular competitors that sport only two doors.  The Dodge Charger R/T can see its performance further enhanced by way of the Road & Track and Super Track Pak options, each of which makes improvements to the car's brakes, stability control system, and suspension tuning.

The 2014 Dodge Charger R/T storms out of the gate with a 370 horsepower, 5.7-liter V-8 under the hood.  Also capable of putting out 395 lb-ft of torque, this unit is matched with a five-speed automatic transmission and offers fuel mileage of 16-mpg in the city and 25-mpg on the highway.  All-wheel drive is also available with the Charger R/T.

There is an incentive of 0.0% financing or $2,500 total cash back on the 2014 Dodge Charger R/T available until 03/31/2014.

2013 Toyota Avalon - 0.0% or $2,500 - 03/31/2014

The 2013 Toyota Avalon stands in stark contrast to the Charger R/T, as it performs its full-size sedan duties with a much more reserved attitude.  Attractively styled and with an enormous passenger compartment, the Toyota Avalon is a comfortable cruiser aimed at those who don’t intend to light up the tires any time soon.

The 2013 Toyota Avalon is available exclusively with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 268 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission handles the shifting duties for the Avalon, and fuel efficient for the big four-door is advertised as 21-mpg in city driving and 31-mpg on the highway.

There is an incentive of 0.0% financing or $2,500 total cash back on the 2013 Toyota Avalon available until 03/31/2014.
