2011 BMW 3-Series Coupe and Convertible — Beautiful!

Heather — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 15:33:42 +0000

In this blog – we are constantly exploring everything that is difficult and strange and it has to be said that BMW is doing some things that I would not have expected to see out of this particular automaker. Visually, these two particular cars done up right by BMW look the same – besides the lack of top but I can tell you for sure that they are different.

Not only are these cars sporty looking, which is different from what BMW is used to doing but they are also switching up their entire body-style. It is longer and a little wider and all around – it looks different.

The engine is always a six-speed manual transmission and I can tell you for sure that when you are driving either one of these cars – you are going to look incredible and feel great. No word on pricing or availability yet but I’ll keep you posted!

EV Charging — Will It Get Vandalized?

Now, I have to tell you guys that I am from Detroit. In Detroit, as you probably already know, it is all about the urban neighborhoods and all about people parking on the street for lack of driveways. Well, with the brand new Chevy Volt and the EV charging pads … what about the people that are parking on the streets?

One thing that I think many people are worried about is that there is a lot of crime in places like Detroit and Chicago and if you have a Chevy Volt or any car that needs EV to charge, you might run into a problem of your EV charger getting vandalized.

This is not only a huge concern of mine but of many – many people out there right now. So what’s the solution?

Mercedes-Benz Ranked #1 For Customer Retention & Service!

One thing that I have noticed about the automotive industry is the fact that customer service has gone down immensely. Customer retention has also gone to the dogs lately, however — Mercedes-Benz is one company that is known for not only their customer service but also known for their customer retention. That is why they are ranked #1 by J.D Powers & Associates for customer retention.

Mercedes-Benz is definitely one brand of car that is not only getting better and better every single year but I can certainly tell the difference when I go into a Mercedes-Benz dealer versus going into any other dealership. The customer service is incredible and that alone is powerful.

So if you are looking for a brand new car this season, I highly recommend going into a Mercedes-Benz dealership!

Volkswagen Board Approves Merger With Porsche: Finally!

For a while now, Volkswagen has been trying to merge with Porsche and finally – they have decided that they are going to merge together and while Porsche may hold over 50% of VW’s common shares along with options for another 20%, they will start the negotiating process soon enough. VW is supposed to end up buying out about 45% of Porsche and Porsche will be sold under the VW name … which to me is something that I love.

VW is such a fantastic company, not only because they produce some of the best cars in the world, but they are one company that you can count on. The customer service is absolutely beautiful and I think that VW is going to go far – especially with this merger.

Personally, I am so excited about this merge and I think that it is something that should’ve happened quite a while ago … honestly!
