Chances are that if you haven’t bought a new car over the past 6-10 years you are likely unfamiliar with these and other now technical motoring terms.
ARP, which is Active Rollover Protection (and has absolutely nothing to do with an association for retired persons) and Blind Spot Information systems are just two examples of the amazing technology available in an increasing number of new cars. Why not see for yourself at the Denver International Auto Show this weekend at the Downtown Convention Center!
Tired of walking around the endless displays of hot new wheels? O.K., check out the new top-of- the-range Cadillac. Sit behind the wheel, sink into its luxurious seats, relax and turn on the built-in back massagers…hmm…that feels great!
You thought Volvo was Swedish? You’re right, but check out the amazing S60 Inscription, built in China! How about a Bimmer beater? Look over the new Jaguar XE. For under $40-grand you could find yourself behind the wheel of a “leaping cat.”
What about a hot, “mellow yellow” Honda Fit, or “traditional” Toyota, a “marvelous” new Malibu or a “Range topping” Range Rover for excursions to the mall?
Go, kick some tires, ogle the great new colors. It’s fun…and, you just might be tempted to buy something!
