2008 Cadillac SRX
0.0% Interest or $5,000 Cash Back

The 2008 Cadillac SRX is a unique take on the crossover SUV concept. Leaning more towards the wagon than the truck side of the equation, the SRX looks like nothing else on the market thanks to its long and tall rear greenhouse that eschews the more rounded appearance of most other crossovers. The 2008 SRX is designed to seat 5 passengers and also provide a good amount of cargo room – almost 70 cubic feet with the rear seats out of the picture. The Cadillac also offers a number of comfort features such as standard leather, dual climate controls, OnStar, available wood trim and rear air conditioning. DVD navigation and a rear entertainment system are also available.

The SRX is built on a rear-wheel drive platform, but it can also be equipped with all-wheel drive in order to increase traction during inclement weather. The base 2008 Cadillac SRX engine is a 255 horsepower, 3.6 liter unit that also produces 254 lb-ft of torque. A more potent 4.6 liter Northstar V8 is also on the options list, and it produces 320 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque. The V6 is mated to a 5-speed automatic, while the 8-cylinder unit sees a 6-speed auto.

There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest or $5,000.00 cash back on the 2008 Cadillac SRX effective until 06/01/2009.

2009 Chevrolet Tahoe
0.0% Interest or $3,000 Cash Back

The 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe is a full-size SUV that doesn’t take up quite as much room in the driveway as behemoths like the Chevrolet Suburban or the Ford Expedition but still manages to bring the same truck-like utility that some drivers crave. The Tahoe can be equipped with up to 3 rows of seating to accommodate an incredible 9 passengers, or it can instead be configured for better cargo hauling and forgo the third row in order to open up an outstanding 60 cubic feet of space. Total cargo handling for the Tahoe is rated at 108.9 cubic feet.

The entry-level 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe makes use of a 295 horsepower, 4.8 liter V8 that also generates 305 lb-ft of torque. Drivers who require more trailer-towing power – and who want the option of four-wheel drive - can choose to have a 5.3 liter V8 installed that produces between 310 and 320 horsepower, depending upon configuration, and up to 340 lb-ft of torque. A 395 horsepower, 6.0 liter motor is available on the top of the line LTZ trim, and a hybrid version of the truck can also be ordered. All versions of the Tahoe use a 6-speed automatic transmission except for the base model and hybrid which settle for a 4-speed auto.

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

2009 Ford Escape
0.0% Interest Plus $500 Cash Back or $3,000 Cash Back

The 2009 Ford Escape is one of the best selling compact SUV’s in the United States thanks to its combination of affordability, general usefulness and reasonable fuel economy. The Escape seats up to 5 passengers, and it offers a maximum cargo capacity of 66 cubic feet, putting in the same range as some larger crossovers. The Escape can be ordered in fairly simple XLS form, with cloth seats, air conditioning and 16 inch steel wheels, or it can be upgraded to XLT or Limited trim which add features such as leather, cruise control and nicer rims.

The 2009 Ford Escape can be ordered in front or all-wheel drive, and offers 4 and 6-cylinder power plants along with a hybrid option. The 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder unit provides 171 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque, along with 22 miles per gallon in the city and 28 miles per gallon on the highway for the front-wheel drive edition. The 3.0 liter V6 ups the ante to 240 horsepower and 223 lb-ft of torque, while still offering decent fuel mileage just under that of its lower power sibling. The hybrid uses the same 4-cylinder engine but pairs it with an electric motor to provide 153 horsepower and an impressive 24 miles per gallon in the city and 31 miles per gallon on the highway. Transmission choices are limited to a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic.

There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest plus $500 cash back or $3,000.00 cash back on the 2009 Ford Escape effective until 06/01/2009.

2009 Hyundai Sonata
$3,000 Cash Back

The 2009 Hyundai Sonata has been heavily updated in order to improve on an already excellent value-oriented sedan. This mid-size vehicle is meant to compete with the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry in terms of features and performance but at a much lower purchase price. Hyundai has engineered the interior of the new Sonata to be larger than almost every other mid-size on the market, and its list of standard equipment is impressive: an MP3 player, cruise control, power everything, and air conditioning on the base GLS model, a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob along with a trip computer on the SE, and leather seats, automatic climate control and a sunroof on the range-topping Limited.

There are two engines offered in the 2009 Hyundai Sonata. A 2.4 liter, 4-cylinder pulls duty at the low end of the price scale and generates 175 horsepower and 168 lb-ft of torque, on its way to fuel economy of 21 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway. A 3.3 liter V6 that churns out 249 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque is next on the list, and it boasts only slightly lower fuel mileage when compared to the 4-cylinder. 5-speed manual and automatic transmissions handle the gear shifting duties.

There is a financing incentive of $3,000.00 cash back on the 2009 Hyundai Sonata effective until 06/01/2009.

2008 Kia Sportage
0.0% Interest or $4,000 Cash Back

The 2008 Kia Sportage is a crossover SUV meant to compete with other compacts in its class such as the Toyota RAV4 and the Ford Escape. The Korean vehicle is focused more on the entry-level segment of the market and strives to give first time crossover buyers the best bang for the buck. The Sportage seats 5 passenger and can provide up to 66 cubic feet of cargo space. The vehicle provides such features as air conditioning and a sunroof, and options include a sport package, leather seats, a nicer stereo and exterior enhancements.

The 2008 Kia Sportage EX can be ordered with either a 140 horsepower, 2.0 liter 4-cylinder unit that also offers 136 lb-ft of torque, or a 2.7 liter V6 that pushes power up to 173 ponies and 178 lb-ft of torque. Fuel mileage for the 4-cylinder is rated at 20 miles per gallon around town and 25 miles per gallon in the city, with the V6 coming in a few miles per gallon lower in each measure. All-wheel drive is optional across the line, and the 4-cylinder can be outfitted with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed auto. The V6 is auto-only.

There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest or $4,000.00 cash back on the 2008 Kia Sportage effective until 06/30/2009.
