2009 Land Rover LR2 Crossover

Summer may be winding down, but the deals keep on coming. This latest one from Land Rover really took us by surprise.  Right now you can finance a 2009 Land Rover LR2 or LR3 or 2009 Range Rover at an unprecedented 0% APR.

There’s a nifty payment calculator on Land Rover’s website that allows you to input your down payment and trade-in value and adjust your term (up to 84 months). Of course, the rate and term you can actually get all depends on how good your credit is. But the idea of 0% interest on a new Land Rover is simply unheard of.

The luxurious yet versatile 2009 LR2 crossover with its 230-horsepower 3.2-liter V6. Or perhaps you prefer the 2009 LR3 midsize SUV, with its available 300-horsepower 4.4-liter V8 and all-wheel drive that will allow you to experience refinement both on and off road. But if you pine for only the highest luxury, you can opt for the Crème de la Crème and choose the full-size ultra-luxurious 2009 Range Rover.

This was the biggest surprise about this offer for us, as the Range Rover is the mother of all luxury SUVs but still eligible for this special financing.  With a 375-horsepower 5.0-liter V8, full-time 4WD and electronically adjustable air suspension, the Range Rover is equipped to take you to places you only dreamed about before. And with plenty of style as well.

You should act soon though, because these offers end September 30, 2009.

The numbers are in. It seems every manufacturer suffered a loss in sales this past March. Some companies were down as much as 70% from last year. However, a few companies like Kia made it through March without so much as a scratch. It’s not hard to see why when you look at the deals Kia is offering. For example, right now you can get a huge rebate or 0% APR financing for 60 months on all 2008 and 2009 Spectra and Spectra5 models.

The Spectra sedan, with its five-star NHTSA crash test rating, is an exceptionally nice set of wheels for the price. But the real bargain of the two would have to be the Spectra5 hatchback with its 138-horsepower 2-liter 4-cylinder engine and standard 5-speed manual transmission. While both the sedan and hatchback are rated at 23/30 mpg (city/highway), the Spectra5 comes equipped with larger 16-inch wheels, wider tires and four-wheel disc brakes that make it as sporty as it is economical. And the 18.3 cubic feet of cargo room provided by the spacious rear hatch make it practical as well.

So let’s review: Kia has a car that’s sporty, economical, practical and already very affordable that they’re offering with a huge amount of cash back as well as no-interest financing. It’s no wonder their sales figures are recession-proof. Click here to see how big of a rebate you can get on the 2009 Kia Spectra sedan and 2009 Kia Spectra5 hatchback.

2009 Buick LaCrosse

The industry was stunned when J.D. Power and Associates released the results for its 2009 Vehicle Dependability study. At the very top of the list sat Buick (tied with the newly resurrected Jaguar), which dethroned Lexus from its 14-year reign as J.D. Power and Associates’ most dependable brand. What this means is that owners of new Buicks purchased in 2006 reported fewer problems over the course of three years than any other make. This is an interesting fact when you consider all the great deals being offered on brand-new Buicks.

Right now you can get 0% APR financing for an incredible 60 months on a 2009 Buick Enclave or the 2009 Buick Lacrosse. Or you can get a huge rebate on Buick’s luxurious 2009 Lucerne. To see the full list of dependability ratings by segment, click here.

If you want to get in on these reliable deals you should hurry, because these offers won’t last.

Have you ever wished that there was a vehicle which combined the luxury of a full-size SUV with the efficiency of a hybrid? Your wish has been granted in the form of the 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. Right now during Cadillac’s Spring Celebration sales event, you can get 0% APR financing for 48 months or a huge rebate on a 2009 Escalade Hybrid.

The Escalade features a 2-mode gas-electric hybrid system which makes it possible to garner a fuel economy rating of 20/21 mpg (city/highway), making this Escalade one of the most fuel efficient models in Cadillac’s lineup.

Even though this car sports a high green factor, it’s surprisingly powerful as well. A 6.0-liter V8 provides the 332 horsepower and 367 lb-ft of torque that make this SUV a no-compromise alternative to smaller hybrid crossover vehicles.

Another area that the Escalade doesn’t skimp out on is passenger and cargo capacity. With seating for seven or a total of 108.9 cubic feet available with all the seats folded down, The Escalade Hybrid can taxi people or cargo with fuel-sipping ease. This is all on top of the Escalade Hybrid’s 5,800-lb. towing capability. And don’t forget that this is a Cadillac, which means this car is loaded with luxury amenities like a DVD navigation system, dual-zone climate control and a Bose 5.1 surround system. As you can see, there isn’t much you can’t do with this hybrid.

Volkswagen has started its year in motor sports off with a bang. With a 1-2 finish in the Dakar Rally, the Touareg II racing team is showing its dominance early on in the season. As Volkswagen prepares for the 2009 Baja 1000, let’s reflect on what makes the Touareg such a great vehicle, both in production form and race form.

For starters, Volkswagen’s own 4XMotion 4-wheel drive system is one of the highlights of the Touareg II and is featured in heavily modified form on its race car brothers. Both the race car and road-going version share the same center-locking differential, which allows equal distribution of power to all four wheels. This makes the Touareg II very capable when it comes to scaling boulder-littered hills or navigating loose gravel roads, and also an obvious choice for off-road racers.

Even if you don’t plan on taking many off-road excursions, a new Touareg can still deliver unmatched driving pleasure at a great value. With two trim levels available, the VR6 FSI with its ultra-narrow angle 3.6-liter V6 producing 280 horsepower, and the V8 FSI with its 4.2-liter V8 producing 350 horsepower, you won’t be wishing you had more power with either model. Now’s your best chance to buy this future off-road legend, as Volkswagen is offering 0% APR financing on all 2009 Touareg models. If there’s any truth to the old saying “win on Sunday, sell on Monday,” there probably won’t be many Touaregs left on dealer lots.

This offer ends March 2, 2009, so you’d better hurry. For the full 4-page review on the Volkswagen Touareg, click here. To see the current deals on 2009 Touareg II’s in your region, click here.
