Black Friday is typically one of the busiest days in retail store history. Many people go shopping for clothes, electronics, and toys to find the greatest deals and steals of the year. Now you can find new vehicles on Black Friday for the same amount of added discounts. According to research done by the website Truecar.com, discounts for new vehicles on average are the biggest of the year on the day after Thanksgiving. Analysts looked at the day-by-day car pricing for the last several years, which pointed to Black Friday being the best day to purchase vehicles. "The discounts from dealerships, as well as manufacturers' incentives, generate the highest discounts of the year on Black Friday," said Jesse Toprak, an analyst for Truecar.com.

It seems like people are falling away from the big muscle
car trend that we saw not too long ago. Those gas-guzzling vehicles are no
longer on the radar for many due to fuel-efficient
vehicles. Top sales analyst, George Pipas, predicts sales of small cars to
keep increasing. Pipas named a couple of factors that could be contributing to
this such as government policies and gas prices. The
government has recently come up with many policies encouraging the use of more
fuel-efficient vehicles, like the Cash for Clunkers Bill that was passed
earlier on this year. The high price for gas these days has also led people to
purchase a car that has better mileage. Small cars currently account for 21
percent of all US vehicle sales and these numbers are predicted to increase to 36
percent in 2013.
Carmakers, such as Ford, Honda, and Nissan, are coming up with new model
lineups for the coming year that are small in size. Ford has found much success
with its compact car the Ford Focus. Honda has also seen much success from the
Honda Civic and Insight, which are both small sub-compact cars. Honda has also
recently come out with the Accord Crosstour,
which is expected to do significantly well in the market. Make sure to visit
your local Miami Dealership and take
a look at compact cars in their showroom. Now is the time to purchase a new or
used small compact car before prices go up.
Aleh Kot, a 32-year old Massachusetts man, went into a Honda dealership Thursday afternoon with the intent on test-driving a brand-new black 2010 Honda Accord.
The salesman probably who assisted him probably didn't know just how desperately this man wanted to
get behind the wheel of a brand-new 2010 Accord. When the salesman
thought that the test drive may have gone just a bit too long, and
finally asked Kot to turn around, Kot refused to stop and continued to
drive.... and drive, and drive- at speeds up to 120 miles per hour. The
salesman eventually jumped out of the car when Kot slowed down at a
toll booth near the Massachusetts state line- but Kot did not stop
driving. Kot continued to drive until he was stopped in Wisconsin, and
had racked up a number of charges, including kidnapping, unarmed
robbery, speeding, and larceny of a motor vehicle. He is currently
awaiting extradition from Wisconsin to Massachusetts.

The hype for driving fuel-efficient vehicles continues to
drive vehicle sales, as seen with the newer versions of hybrid cars being
introduced by carmakers. Every automobile maker must come out with a new hybrid
line for the coming year if it wants to succeed in the industry. But why are
hybrids so popular? Everyone knows that hybrids are the “green” products of the
future by using electricity to achieve good gas mileage. But many fail to think
about costs, savings, and the technology put into a hybrid. Do these factors
still make the hybrid an appealing choice?
Although electric motors are efficient at accelerating, they
are costly, heavy and take up a lot of space in a car. As a result, automakers
came out with a hybrid
vehicle. What makes a hybrid so appealing is the fact that it uses two
powertrains, an electric motor and a gasoline engine, that draw power from a
battery pack. The large battery pack is recharged by the gas engine and energy
recouped from the brakes. Hybrids have their faults as well. The dual
drivetrain found in the fuel efficient vehicles can be more expensive than a
traditional gas engine alone, the battery pack takes up space, and the pack
adds weight to the vehicle
Hybrids offer significant gas savings for drivers. The Honda
Civic Hybrid returns 37 mpg, while the Toyota Camry hybrid returns 34 mpg. In
terms of emissions, hybrids typically produce 29 percent less smog-forming
nitrogen oxide than conventional cars, according to a study by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
And every gallon of gas saved reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 19 pounds,
which reduces global warming.
Most of the information gathered was taken from a Consumer Reports
article on Hybrids. Make sure to visit your local Miami dealership
to see what hybrids they are offering and which ones fit your tastes.
With all of the hype about the exterior design of the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour,
it's a wonder that not too many people have given thought to the
interior design of the the new automobile. After a first look inside
the new Honda Crosstour, it is obvious the interior is quite
impressive: it has a versatile, upscale 5-passenger interior with an
innovative rear storage area, which functions as a "trunk" to keep
goods away from prying eyes. The rear storage area features an
innovative 8-inch deep under-floor Hidden Removable Utility Box with a
reversible lid, featuring both plush-carpeted and durable-plastic
sides. Levers near the interior fender wells, conveniently accessible
from the tailgate opening, which allows for one-touch conversion of the
seats into the floor for additional cargo space.
"Honda has a longstanding reputation for maximizing interior space and
utility in its vehicles," said Erik Berkman, vice president of
corporate planning and logistics for American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
"Like the award-winning Honda Fit, the Accord Crosstour uses a
versatile design to create an interior that functions with the
practicality of a larger vehicle."

General Motors is in the midst of introducing its two newest additions to the GM lineup in dealership showrooms next year. The two new vehicles are the Buick Regal and the Chevy Cruze. GM is targeting new customers in hopes of turning around the market and make themselves a household name once again.
The 2011 Buick Regal is an all-new sedan that is much like its kin the 2010 Buick LaCrosse. The 5-passenger Regal Sedan has already been receiving 5 star safety ratings in Europe and China. The Regal will feature three different four-cylinder engines and the first models will have the 2.4-liter direct-injection engine. The sportier and smaller version of the LaCrosse will hit the market next spring and is aimed to attract more fuel-conscious drivers.
Another eagerly awaited Sedan introduced by GM is the Chevy Cruze. The 2011 Chevy Cruze is aimed to go against the 2012 Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, and Nissan Sentra. The Cruze, which has already been introduced in Europe and Asia, has already started to see good reviews. The Cruze is powered by a turbocharged and direct-injected 1.4-liter engine that will offer fuel efficiency as high as 40 miles per gallon, with the same power as the 2.4-liter engine in today's 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt.
Make sure to stop by your local Miami GM Dealership to see these latest additions of the GM family. Sales for these two vehicles are expected to be high so make sure to see them before its too late.

It's that time of year again... when new car models are introduced
and prospective car buyers are in a frenzy, trying to get their hands
on the latest version of their prospective ride. Honda has several 2010
models with revamped features and/or design, and the Honda Pilot is one of these vehicles.
This
year's Honda Pilot features several updates to last year's extensive
redesign of the Pilot. Most notable among them include: -the newest generation of Variable Cylinder Management on all models (an engine which helps make the Pilot even more powerfully efficient) -a tailgate with lift-up glass hatch -Standard integrated tow hitch -Hill Start Assist -Humidity Control System as part of standard air conditioning -Four Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH), increased from two -Driver’s and front passenger’s active head restraints -Tilt and telescopic steering column -Aluminum hood
And in addition to these, the touring edition has: -Interface Dial with Scrolling and Multi-Line Display -Bluetooth HandsFreeLink -Power tailgate
These
additions help improve on Pilot's famous comfort, room of a minivan,
and Honda-smooth ride (to quote one review, "Pilot may look tough- but
it drives like an angel). For more information on the Pilot's other features and pricing, contact Brickell Honda of Miami at Brickellhondadirect.com, where you can get a quick quote in 7 minutes or less.
The main focus on dealership sales usually comes from new vehicles yet now more than ever, people are looking for used vehicles. According to Edmunds.com, used vehicle prices jumped to an average of 16 percent in October compared to last year. It seems consumers are willing to pay for used cars at whatever the cost may be, well at least to a certain extent. A lot of factors can be the cause for such high demands of used car vehicles, especially when supply is low. One reason might be the most recent incentive proposed by the government, Cash for Clunkers. Reports estimated that around 700,000 older vehicles that were traded in during the incentive were destroyed. These vehicles could have been potentially sold in the used car market for a good price. Now, new car sales are down and fewer customers are willing to trade in their used vehicles.
Demand for used vehicles seems to be going up due to the economic state. Traditional car buyers are not in the economic state to be purchasing new vehicles and since then have been on the market for used vehicles. More people are saving money and putting cash down on used vehicles. The fact that the credit market remains tight makes it difficult for buyers to finance new vehicles. Finding quality used vehicles has also raised a problem for these high demands. Buyers have to shop around and find a dealership that is offering certified and quality used vehicles. Many dealerships are starting to feature their used vehicles and lowering prices in order to attract more customers. Be sure to check around for the best deals local dealerships are offering before you make a decision.
Today, Honda announced that its new crossover, the All-New Accord Crosstour,
will have a MSRP of $29,670, and will carry an additional destination
and handling charge of $710. Honda also released pricing for other
models of the new vehicle: the Honda Crosstour EX-L will have an MSRP
of $32,570, and and the Navi version of this Crosstour is priced at
MSRP $34,770 . All-wheel drive versions start around $34,020; a Navi
version of this will start around $36,220.
The Crosstour is
Honda's latest vehicle release in the US, and some experts compare it
to Toyota's Venza. However, the Crosstour is incomparable to any other
automobile anyone else has ever produced, except for Honda Accord,
which is the platform Crosstour is built upon. Experts have already
compared the Crosstour's comfort, smoothness in ride and handling, and
overall utility to the Accord, but have noted the Crosstour's unique
features and usage of space. These same experts and critics have also
noticed the wide range of features available on the Ohio-built
automobile, whether under the hood, inside the cabin, or on the
exterior of the vehicle.
