While we were less than enamored with the styling of the Subaru B9 Tribeca when it debuted three years ago, the facelift it received for the 2008 model year as well as the loss of its “B9″ designation really caught our attention. The people spoke, and Subaru listened. The 2008 Subaru Tribeca is now ready to face its toughest critics – you. Luckily for the Tribeca, it has a lot going for it this time around.

The styling, for example, reflects the new direction in which Subaru is steering its cars. A large, muscular front grille with just the right amount of chrome is outlined by a pair of projector-beam headlights. The rear is cleaned up as well, with a long sloping hatch and larger rear quarter windows. Subaru realized the performance limitations of its 3-liter boxer 6-cylinder engine in the old B9 Tribeca and replaced it with a more powerful 256-horsepower 3.6-liter boxer engine.

More notably, the engine produces a lofty 247 lb-ft of torque, which will make you feel like you’re driving a roadster as opposed to an SUV. Of course, we wouldn’t be talking about a Subaru here if we didn’t mention its amazing all-wheel drive system. With its symmetrical all-wheel drive, the Tribeca sends equal power and torque to each wheel during normal operation, but can vary the amount when the situation calls for it. The Tribeca also delivers a comfortable and spacious interior. In the front, the dashboard flows organically into the center console, giving it an elegant, futuristic look.

The rear cargo area features an impressive 37.6 cubic feet of space with the third row seats folded down, making trips to the grocery store a walk in the park. Now for the best part about the new Tribeca. Right now you can get 0% APR financing on all 2008 Tribeca models. So take advantage of this deal and see for yourself just how much better Subaru has made this car.

For years, Buick has been the definition of American luxury. Their newest model, the 2008 Enclave, is a crossover that makes a strong case for itself with its spacious eight-passenger seating capacity, 275-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 and attractive design.

As a luxury vehicle, however, the Enclave presents itself as a real world contender against other premium brands with no intention of pulling any punches. The Enclave drives incredibly smooth on any surface and features one of the quietest cabins available today. Not only is the interior adorned with gracious amounts of simulated wood trim, but the subtle use of chrome also helps accentuate the Enclave’s soft-spoken, upscale feel. When it comes to fuel economy, the Enclave doesn’t disappoint. At 16-/24-mpg (city/highway), the Enclave will get you where you need to go in style and without needing to stop for constant fill-ups. But what is the cost of this kind of luxury? That’s what we’re here to tell you.

Thanks to GM’s “Red Tag Event,” the prices of all 2008 Buick Enclaves have been greatly reduced. With the newly lowered MSRPs combined with other rebates Buick is offering, you can save a significant amount on a 2008 Enclave. So test-drive one and rediscover what “luxury” really means.

For the 2008 Chrysler 300. the first rear-wheel drive model to wear the prestigious 300 badge in over 25 years, Chrysler wanted to preserve more than just the namesake of their new flagship car. The development of the 300 was actually a collaborative effort between Chrysler and Daimler-Benz. In fact, the 300 shares many of its components (as well as many technologies) with the previous generation Mercedes E-Class sedan. This equates to a performance and luxury bargain, since you are paying less money for essentially the same vehicle.

An optional all-wheel drive system using Mercedes’ award-winning 4matic technology and a class-leading suspension taken straight off of the E-Class are just some of the features that the 300 benefits from. But it’s the 300’s American DNA that really makes it so attractive. With styling that recalls the ’57-‘59 Chrysler 300, a muscular stance and massive chrome front grille, the new 300 looks like nothing else on the road.

Throw in the 360-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI V8 and you’ll think the muscle car era never ended. If you do opt for the HEMI, you’ll have the advantage of Chrysler’s innovative cylinder shut-off technology, which allows you to run on the minimum number of cylinders needed to achieve the best possible fuel mileage. We wouldn’t be telling you all of this if there wasn’t a tremendous deal going on.

Right now, there are huge chunks of customer cash offered on all 2008 Chrysler 300 models as well as super-low APR financing available for qualified buyers. To find out exactly how much money you could save, click the link below and type in your zip code. While you may not exactly be getting a muscle car, you will get a stylish and functional car that is a modern tribute to America’s glorious automotive history.

There’s nothing more satisfying than buying a car. Not just because you need it, but because you want it. At CarsDirect, we understand that very real and powerful desire. That’s why we’re blogging about the 2008 Pontiac G8. Not only is it a functional, good-looking sedan, it happens to be one of the fastest (in V8 GT trim) in its class. With a 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds, the G8 is incredibly quick. Owing its awesome acceleration to its 355-horsepower 6-liter V8 engine, the G8 GT is clearly the sportier model of the two trim levels. However, the base G8 still impresses with its 256-horsepower 3.6-liter V6, achieving 0-60 mph in 7 seconds flat. It’s also built to handle.  The G8’s suspension, developed by GM’s Holden branch in Australia, nonchalantly sheds body roll through corners while maintaining a firm, yet civil ride on the highway.

How do you aid in your justification for buying such a powerful car that’s this much fun to drive? Easy: OnStar turn-by-turn navigation, automatic crash response and vehicle diagnostics free for one whole year.  On top of GM’s amazing OnStar system being standard equipment, you get the G8’s above-average fuel economy. With the V6 model getting 17/25 mpg (city/highway) and the V8 getting not much less at 15/24 mpg (city/highway) thanks to its active fuel management system, these fast four-doors won’t have you at the pump as often as you might think.

Now, for the part you’ve been waiting for. Right now, during Pontiac’s Red Tag Event, you can save an amazing amount of money on all 2008 G8 models. You have to see the savings for yourself to believe them. Just click the link below, type in your zip code, and the prices will show up.

Mitsubishi’s commitment to motor sport has driven them to produce some exciting models over the years. One such model is the 2009 Mitsubishi Galant. Although it may seem like your typical midsize sedan, the Galant features much of the technology that has trickled down from Mitsubishi’s rally racing efforts including the MIVEC variable valve timing system, which allows for better fuel economy and more power, and the sport suspension found on the Galant Ralliart.

The Galant also showcases one of Mitsubishi’s most unique exterior designs. All of these attributes add up to a sporty and stylish character that’s unmistakable in a sea of nearly identical sedans. But being sporty and stylish isn’t the only thing this car has going for it. JD Power and Associates ranked the 2009 Mitsubishi Galant as one of the highest in initial quality in its class. Now, you can reap the rewards of Mitsubishi’s hard work and pick up a Galant with 0% APR financing for 60 months or get an unbelievable rebate.

Scion has come a very long way since its debut five years ago. In that short time, they have galvanized the market by emphasizing pride of ownership in its ad campaigns, sponsored events, sales of Scion-branded merchandise and accessories. But all of these attributes don’t necessarily appeal to Joe the Plumber (couldn’t resist –Ed.). The truth of the matter is that marketing hype just doesn’t sell cars to the informed consumer. This fact will: Scion received the highest marks of any brand in Consumer Reports’ annual list of most reliable cars. With all three of its models placing in the top six in their respective categories and one, the xD, winning its class outright, buying a Scion seems to make good financial sense. Based on Consumer Reports’ tests, the Scion xD had 80% fewer problems than the average car in the study. This translates to less frequent trips to the dealership for costly repairs. Thus, money you would have normally spent on maintaining your car instead sits quietly in your pocket. Operating costs are further diminished by Scion’s incredible fuel economy. With the xD, xB and tC each getting over 20-mpg in the city and around or close to 30-mpg on the highway, Scion should definitely be on your list if you’re a fan of cheaper and less frequent fill-ups. Buying a Scion may be the trendy and hip thing to do right now, but it also happens to be one of the most practical and economical.

Even though the GM Employee Pricing event is over, now is still a great time to buy a 2008 Saturn Aura. We’ve talked about the benefits of shared platforms before, and the Aurais a great example of how joint design and engineering can result in a great car. Based on the European market Opel/Vauxhall Vectra, the Aurais truly a “world car” and one that has the potential to steal some of the well-earned thunder produced by the enegmatic stallworths in the midsize car class, the Camry and Accord.

From the start, the Aura was clearly built with fuel efficiency in mind as there are several available engines options, each with solid MPG ratings:

• 3.5-liter V6 224 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque with 20/29 mpg
• 3.6-liter V6 252 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque with 20/28 mpg
• 2.4-liter I4 169 horsepower and 160 lb-ft of torque with 22/33 mpg
• 2.4-liter I4 Hybrid 164 horsepower and 159 lb-ft of torque with 26/34 mpg

The Aura is definitely a car you should consider if you’re looking for something spacious and economical. The Aura excels in its cavernous interior and trunk space. Easily capable of transporting passengers and cargo, the Aura makes short work of both daily commutes and long distance trips alike. Even the Hybrid model, with batteries sunk deep in the trunk, has an impressive cargo area which has more room than its main competitor, the Camry Hybrid.

And now the closer: Saturn is offering 0% APR financing for up to 48 months for qualified buyers as well as HUGE rebates on all Aura models. Don’t miss this opportunity to pick up one of the most fuel-efficient sedans available.

The SX4 first caught our eye when it became the first car under $16,000 to offer standard in-car navigation.
