The 2012 Toronto Auto Show
Written by Jeorge Thomson
The Toronto Auto Show premiered a variety of fine new cars. St. Catharines drivers salivated over the Special Edition 2013 MINI Goodwood and the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL 550. The 2013 Dodge Dart also turned more than a few heads as did the 2013 Scion FR-S.
The all-new 2013 Lexus GS is stunning example of the "new face of Lexus." Performance, new technology, and aggressive styling inside and out will leave you either loving it or hating it. PerformanceCars has a sneaking suspicion that you'll love it at first sight. If not, it's sure to win you over once you get behind the wheel.
rnOne of PerformanceCars' favorites had to be the Acura NSX concept car. Inspired by Acura's original NSX which was discontinued in 2005 after a 15 year run, the new NSX concept car is a breath of fresh air and a hint that Acura may be embracing sleek looks and high performance. If the NSX returns to showrooms, it won't likely be one of those cheap cars you buy for utility. It's one that you'll buy as an affordable indulgence. By the way, with a 1990 through 2005 production run, you can get your hands on a used NSX and experience the original. Used car financing or even used car leasing if you prefer the leasing model, makes it easier than ever to enjoy the ride of this classic brand.
rnSpeaking of used cars, Grimsby and Toronto car enthusiasts have long loved the Hyundai brand and must be thrilled at Hyundai's Car of the Year award for the Elantra and Best New Design award for its Veloster. In fact, the Elantra was Canada's second-best selling car in 2011 with nearly 45,000 sold. Indications point to the Elantra ultimately becoming one of the most popular used cars. Niagara drivers are also passionate about these head-turning, reliable cars.
As far as resale value and vehicle service st. catharines PerformanceCars sales staff and service center technicians alike agree with the Canadian Black Book "Best Retained Value Awards" which were announced at the Toronto Car Show. Among our favorite winners in this category were the Toyota Avalon, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Toyota Tundra, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Sequoia, Jeep Wrangler, BMW X6, BMW 1 Series, Lexus GS, Lexus LS, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Sprinter. All of these models make terrific used cars. St. Catharines PerformanceCars can help you find the perfect model for you!
