Buick Cars

The Buick Lucerne is Buick’s new front-wheel-drive sedan which replaced the LeSabre for 2006, featuring a fresh new design and innovative technology. The Lucerne was the first Buick to offer Magnetic Ride Control with StabiliTrak to improve the ride and handling. Lucerne also marks the return of V8 power to a Buick car with an available 4.6-liter Northstar V8 that delivers 275 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque.

Bentley Cars
The Continental GT is Bentley’s high-performance coupe and the first model to come out of Bentley Motor Cars, Ltd., the new company that was formed on September 17, 2002, ending a 70- year partnership with Rolls-Royce. Unveiled in concept form at the 2002 Paris Motor Show, the new model is smaller and less expensive than any past Bentley, but its design remains true to the marque. It is also the first model unique to the Bentley line to be produced in over 70 years, and the first Bentley ever to feature all-wheel drive.
The Continental Flying Spur is Bentley’s new high-performance sedan based on the Continental GT that translates the styling from the luxurious coupe to a sedan with equal cache and performance.
The Azure returns for 2007 as Bentley’s flagship, after being absent since the 2002 model year. The latest version of the Azure is virtually identical to the Arnage Drophead Coupe show car that Bentley debuted at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show. It generated so much interest that Bentley decided to produce the car with the Azure name. The design of the four-seat Azure is unmistakably Bentley and shares its face with the current Arnage sedan. The cabin and rear section of the car are a new design and the interior is the pinnacle of opulent beauty. The Azure debuted in 1995 as one of the most exclusive convertibles on the market. Updated in 1998 to a more sporting and aggressive look, the Azure is highlighted by a new laser-cut matrix grille that evokes the large sporting Bentleys that had won the 24 hours of Le Mans five times between 1924 and 1930. Bentley Motors was started in 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley, an engineer with a knack for improving the performance and reliability of automotive and aircraft engines of the day. Bentley is now a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG.
Named for one of the most challenging corners on the Le Mans racing circuit, the Arnage was fittingly introduced at the French circuit in April of 1998. It was 70 years prior that a Bentley, powered by a 4.5-liter engine, achieved victory at the 24 hours of Le Mans endurance race. To commemorate this achievement the Arnage was initially offered with a 4.5-liter engine developed with BMW and Cosworth, making it the first engine in nearly 60 years that was unique to the Bentley marque. In 2002, the Series Two Arnage was introduced, completely reworked and powered by a Bentley-built 6.75-liter V8 engine. The Arnage T was the first of the Series Two, and was followed a few months later by the Arnage R. The long-wheelbase Arnage RL was added for the 2003 model year.
Aston Martin Cars
The V8 Vantage is Aston Martin’s newest two-seat sports car that bears a strong family resemblance to the DB9 and the Vanquish. The Roadster version joins the Coupe for 2007. The interior is all Aston Martin, with much of the styling for the switches and instruments derived from exclusive watches and premium audio gear. The interior makes extensive use of leather and anodized aluminum, and the V8 Vantage features a full complement of custom-fitted luggage. The front-engine rear-wheel-drive V8 Vantage is aimed squarely at the Porsche 911.
The DB9 is Aston Martin's V12 GT that is offered in both Coupe and Volante (convertible) versions. The DB9 Coupe replaced the DB7 for the 2004 model year, and the DB9 Volante joined the Coupe for 2005. The DB9 features a handcrafted aluminum-bonded body frame that offers strength, structural rigidity and light weight. The DB9 has a 450-horsepower V12 engine.
Acura Cars
The TSX is Acura’s sport sedan, designed to fill the gap between the RSX sport coupe and the premium TL sedan. Acura unveiled the all-new TSX at the 2003 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, "The TSX is designed to compete head on with other premium sport sedans from Europe and Japan," said Dick Colliver, Acura's executive vice president of sales.
Introduced in 1996, the TL was the first Acura to adopt the alphanumeric model designation system that spreaded to the entire Acura line. The 2.5TL was first on the market, later joined by the V6-powered 3.2TL. In 1999 the TL was completely redesigned, and in 2002 the high-performance Type S was added to the lineup. The third-generation TL was introduced in 2004 with all-new styling and a slew of high-tech features. For 2007 the TL is updated with new exterior and interior styling and marks the return of the Type-S after a 3-year hiatus
The RL is Acura’s flagship 4-door sedan that replaced the Legend in 1996. With an extensive update for the 1999 model year that included new styling, a refined interior, improved suspension and HID headlights. The third-generation RL debuted for the 2005 model year with new high-tech features and Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive System (SH-AWD).

The Maxima originally joined the Nissan lineup for the 1981 model year as a rear-wheel-drive sedan and received a V6 engine for the first time in 1984 before the second-generation Maxima switched to a front-wheel-drive configuration. Nissan has referred to the Maxima over the years as a "4-door sports car."
The Versa is a 5-door entry-level subcompact hatchback that replaces the Sentra as the most affordable vehicle in the Nissan lineup. Built on Nissan’s “B” platform, the Versa name reflects the “versatile space” provided by the roomy interior and cargo area. Introduced as a 2007 model in 2006, a sedan version was available in late 2006.
The Sentra is Nissan’s entry-level sedan that was originally introduced in 1985.
