In another move to boost vehicle sales, GM is going to make permanent cuts to some Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn sticker prices. GM also recently annouced that employee pricing would be available on all GM cars and trucks (except Corvette and GMC medium-duty trucks) to anyone walking into the dealership - talk about “no haggle pricing”.
In an effort not to be outdone, Ford is running tv ads in the Detroit market touting larger rebates on top selling Ford SUVs and even the Ford Five Hundred. The rebate on a Ford Explorer was bumped from $3500 to $5000. If you’re looking for a deal…it may be time to consider buying a Ford.

Thinking of buying a Toyota? Better act fast! Toyota is most likely going to raise the prices of its new cars in the U.S. by an average of two to three percent in October. Reasons behind the move? Many jounalists are indicating that Toyota is raising its new car prices out of consideration to its struggling U.S. rivals. Huh? Now I don’t claim to know everything (or even very much) about the auto industry as a whole…but I’ve never heard that WalMart was going to raise its prices because its competition was struggling with sales.
There are also a number of other issues at play: cost of materials, political pressure, and changes in financing rates and sales incentives. The automotive industry is a very complex businesses - the simple message to consumers: if you’re going to buy a Toyota, buy one before prices go up!

BMW 7 Series: The Best Driving Luxury Sedan in the World; With Impressive BMW Parts from Parts Train
By Jenny McLane
The fourth-generation 7 Series is the most successful prestige luxury performance sedan in BMW’s history. It is a highly prestigious luxury sedan offering generous space and comfort for the driver and passengers. All BMW 7 Series now feature BMW’s two-stage Adaptive Brakelights: Whenever the driver applies the brakes harder than usual, the larger brake light area warns motorists following behind. The optional CD changer is now MP3 CD-capable. The standard BMW Assist telematics service includes Bluetooth hands-free phone capability.
Virtually everything in the cabin is controlled through a single mouse-like interface called iDrive. BMW’s controversial system controls the heater, the radio, the navigation system. Amazing technology sets the BMW 7 series apart from its competitors. Silent, hidden fans and heating elements cool or warm your rear end or your soft drink; microchips can detect a skidding tire or apply the brakes full force just in case you were distracted by a phone call; power sunshades keep the sun off your rear passengers as adaptive headlights turn with the car.
BMW’s iDrive interface system is standard on all 7 Series models, and can operate virtually everything in the car, from stereo to climate controls to telephone to navigation, with a single mouse-like control. Standard safety features include dual frontal airbags, driver and front-passenger side-impact airbags, and BMW’s Head Protection System, which amounts to a full-length, tube-shaped curtain on both sides of the cabin for front and rear head protection in a side impact. Also standard is BMW’s Active Knee Protection, unique inflatable airbags that protect front passengers’ knees.
