2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
0.0% Interest or $2,000 Cash Back

The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is one of the most aggressive-looking sports cars on the market. Based on the Lancer economy compact sedan, the Evolution or Evo X as it is sometimes called is a seriously fast, rally-inspired performer that is stuffed full of enough technology to make even the most novice driver look like a seasoned professional on the track.

Powering the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is a 2.0 liter, 4-cylnder engine that is turbocharged to provide 291 ponies and 300 lb-ft of torque. Depending upon whether the entry-level GST or higher spec MR version of the car is ordered, a 5-speed manual or 6-speed dual clutch automatic sends that power to all four wheels through the vehicle’s computer controlled center differential. The Evolution uses a special system to control the amount of torque sent to each wheel in order to provide maximum traction. Inside, the 2008 Lancer Evolution isn’t exactly resplendent with creature comforts, but it does offer Recaro seats to keep drivers in place during hard cornering. Rear quarters are somewhat cramped for taller passengers, which is expected for what is essentially a driver’s car.

There is a financing incentive of 0.0 % interest or $2,000.00 cash back on the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution effective until 06/01/2009.

2009 Buick Enclave
0.0% Interest or $2,250 Cash Back

The 2009 Buick Enclave is one of the more appealing full-size crossovers available from General Motors. The vehicle’s slick styling is more classy than utilitarian, and the Enclave has a definite road presence that some other crossovers seem to lack. There are only two different trim levels available for the Enclave, but both editions are well appointed. The CX offers three zones of climate control, cruise control, power everything and satellite radio. The CXL adds heated leather seats. A number of options packages can be included to provide features such as a DVD entertainment system for rear passengers, a towing package and even a sunroof and skylight combo. The Enclave can accommodate up to 7 passengers.

A single engine is installed across the entire 2009 Buick Enclave line, a 3.6 liter V6 tuned to provide 288 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. The vehicle’s 6-speed automatic transmission handles all gear shifts, and the crossover can be ordered in either front or all-wheel drive. Fuel mileage for the former drivetrain layout is a reasonable 17 miles per gallon in the city and 24 miles per gallon on the highway.

There is a financing incentive of 0.0 % interest or $2,250.00 cash back on the 2009 Buick Enclave effective until 06/01/2009.

2009 Chrysler 300C
$4,000 Cash Back

The 2009 Chrysler 300C represents the top of the line version of Chrysler’s popular four-door full-size sedan. The 300C’s stylish chopped top and large upright grille have caused many to dub it the ‘baby Bentley’, and it has acquired a certain cachet across a wide range of buyers. The 300C is roomy enough to haul up to 5 adults in perfect comfort, and it offers a sport-tuned suspension that never jars passengers with unnecessary roughness. The 300C’s features list includes many of the equipment that is optional on lower editions of the 300, such as automatic climate control, leather trim and rain-sensitive windshield wipers.

Underneath the hood of the 2009 Chrysler 300C is an impressive 5.7 liter Hemi V8 engine that cranks out 360 horsepower and 389 lb-ft of torque. This high level of output gives the 300C excellent acceleration for a vehicle of its size, allowing it to keep up with much more expensive German sedans. A 5-speed automatic is the only transmission choice, but all-wheel drive can be ordered. Cylinder-deactivation technology allows the large engine to run on as few as 4 cylinders during highway cruising in order to maximize fuel economy.

There is a rebate incentive of $4,000.00 cash back on the 2009 Chrysler 300C effective until 06/01/2009.

2008 Mazda RX-8
1.8% Interest or $5,000 Cash Back

The 2008 Mazda RX-8 is an interesting take on the standard sports car concept. The RX-8 appears to be a two-door coupe, but closer inspection reveals a set of rear doors which are hinged at the back in order to ease access to the back seat. This simple innovation transforms the practicality of the RX-8 and makes it a legitimate option for those who require a flexible vehicle but who also crave an involved driving experience. The base RX-8 comes with air conditioning, a CD player and a full range of power equipment, while the Touring and Grand Touring editions offer leather seats and trim along with an upgraded stereo, traction control and dynamic stability control.

The 2008 Mazda RX-8 is motivated by a non-traditional power plant, a 1.3 liter rotary unit that is capable of producing 232 horsepower and 159 lb-ft of torque for vehicles equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission. 6-speed automatic cars see their engine output reduced to 212 horsepower. While these numbers might seem low for a performance car, the RX-8 is fairly light and its chassis is very well balanced, which helps it carve corners with the best of them.

There is a financing incentive of 1.8 % interest or $5,000.00 cash back on the 2008 Mazda RX-8 effective until 06/01/2009.

2009 Ford Edge
0.0% Interest or $3,000 Cash Back

The 2009 Ford Edge is a crossover that avoids comparison with traditional sport-utility vehicles and instead makes its own value proposition as a vehicle that is capable offering more than what a standard sedan can provide. A tall ride height and seating capacity for 5 are combined with an impressive maximum cargo capacity of 69 cubic feet. This makes the Edge well suited for both hauling camping gear on a weekend getaway as well as taking a load of sheetrock home from the building supplies store. The entry-level Edge SE features cloth seats, cruise control, air conditioning and 17 inch wheels, while the SEL and Limited models throw in leather hides, keyless entry, dual climate controls and the Microsoft Sync entertainment system. A Sport model is also available.

The 2009 Ford Edge can be ordered with either front or all-wheel drive, except for the base model which is front-wheel drive only. A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard equipment for all editions of the Edge, as is a 3.5 liter V6 that generates 265 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy for the front-wheel drive Edge comes in at 17 miles per gallon in stop and go driving and 24 miles per gallon during highway cruising.

There is a financing incentive of 0.0 % interest or $3,000.00 cash back on the 2009 Ford Edge effective until 06/01/2009.
