2012 Hyundai Elantra (October 2011)

2011-10-06T18:10:00.000-05:00

The Hyundai Elantra was completely redesigned for the 2011 model year, and little has changed for 2012. Hyundai improved horn sound, calibrated the steering, added fog lights to the GLS Preferred Package and is offering more color options and an optional roadside assistance kit. The most significant update is the addition of Hyundai’s Active Eco System that comes on all Elantra models with an automatic transmission. Hyundai says this system improves fuel economy by 7 percent, but that claim hasn’t been independently tested.

The 2012 Hyundai Elentra models bring a unique and contemporary design. Many people have been quite happy with the sleek design of Hyundai’s slightly larger car, the Sonata, and it seems that the Elantra is copying a few of its design elements. One of the most noticeable improvements to the 2012 Elantra is the redesigned grill. The grill has been crafted in more of an open mouth design. This design ensures that the 2012 Elantra will suck up all the air it needs to keep its engine cool.

The 2012 Elantra is more expensive than the 2011 model, which starts at $14,945. The 2012 model starts at about $16,450 for the GLS trim with a manual transmission. Adding an automatic transmission increases the price by $1,000, and upgrading to the Limited trim, which adds leather seats and a tilt and telescopic steering wheel, raises the price to $20,445.

2011 Nissan Maxima (September 2011)

2011-09-08T05:20:00.000-05:00

The Maxima continues to be offered in two trim levels – the base 3.5S and the 3.5SV trim, which adds to the list of standard features. Upgrading to the SV adds about $2,700 to the bottom line, and includes features such as fog lights, a Bose audio system, XM Satellite Radio and leather appointed seating.

For 2011 Nissan Maxima sees few changes from the 2010 model year. Notable revisions include changes to the Sport Package on the SV trim, which now includes smoked headlamps, a dark chrome grille and gray interior stitching on the upholstery.

Avg. Paid: $30,372 - $32,907

2011-09-08T04:18:00.000-05:00

The GMC Sierra was last redesigned in 2007, and other than rearranged trim levels, the latest 9.0 OnStar system and enhancements that reduce wind noise, the 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 is practically identical to the 2010 model. One of the Sierra’s greatest strengths is its customizability. It has multiple engine options, four of which are FlexFuel capable, meaning that they can take a combination of gasoline and E85 fuel.

There are also Regular, Extended and Crew Cab models that have different seating capacities, truck bed sizes and interior options that allow shoppers to choose the right features for their needs.

2011-09-08T04:13:00.000-05:00

The Buick Regal is an all-new model for 2011. For its initial rollout, the Regal is available only in its top-of-the-line CXL trim; next year the base CX and middle CXS trims will be available. The Regal enters the market with a 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine, but a 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder will be available in late summer 2010. A performance tuned GS model will be available next year. The Regal is based on the Opel Insignia (which is available only in Europe) and shares some components with the well-liked Buick LaCrosse. However, the Regal is smaller and sportier than the LaCrosse.

2011 Honda Fit (September 2011)

2011-09-08T04:06:00.000-05:00

The Fit is very fun to drive, thanks to a 117-horsepower, 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that features Honda's i-VTEC variable valve timing system. The engine provides enough power even with the available automatic transmission, which has five speeds for better passing response and more relaxed highway cruising. A precise-shifting 5-speed manual is standard, but for those who want the best of both worlds, the Fit Sport model, when fitted with the automatic transmission, features paddle-shifters alongside the steering wheel.

Avg. Paid: $16,231 - $20,461
MSRP: $15,100 - $19,240
Invoice: $14,572 - $18,546

Expires: 09/06/11

2011 Ford Fusion (August 2011)

2011-08-07T09:35:00.000-05:00

Because the Ford Fusion experienced a refresh in 2010, the 2011 model is largely unchanged. However, it does receive a few updates, like HD radio, MyKey and available rain sensing windshield wipers.

The Fusion is available in S, SE, SEL and Sport trims, and is offered with three engines: a 2.5-liter I-4 engine, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine and a 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine. The sport trim is set apart because of its standard features: a more powerful engine -- the 3.5-liter Duratec V6 -- a six-speed automatic transmission and 18 inch five-spoke aluminum wheels.

The Versa comes as a sedan or hatchback. The sedan comes in four different trims, including the 1.6 BASE, 1.6, 1.8 S and 1.8 SL. The hatchback comes in two trims: the 1.8 S and 1.8 SL.

2011 Ford Flex (July 2011)

2011-07-11T23:49:00.000-05:00

The Ford Flex only change for 2011 is the addition of a new Titanium model. It slots in above the previous top-end Limited trim and starts at just over $40,000. That makes it an expensive proposition for a family SUV. However, for the money you get all the bells and whistles the Flex offers, including standard navigation and a power liftgate, plus a bunch of blacked-out exterior features that make the Flex look even more bad-ass than it already does. The Flex Titanium is certainly not your parents’ Country Squire.

The 2011 Ford Flex comes standard with front-wheel drive, while all trims except the base model have available all-wheel drive. It comes in several trims -- the base SE, SEL, Limited and all-new Titanium. Be sure to check out current Ford deals that may be available on a new Flex.
