Born from the experience acquired through the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and 8C Spider models, the new concept car shares its rear-wheel drive with the exclusive supercars as well as its philosophy based on achieving maximum driving pleasure and the proverbial Alfa Romeo road handling.

The chassis supports a body crafted completely from carbon, inside which there is space for the driver and passenger, while the rear frame structure and the crash boxes use aluminum extensively. The final result is a significant reduction in weight, limited to less than 850 kg, as well as the optimization of the vehicle’s centre of gravity, which gives the advantage of increased agility and drivability on the most challenging roads.

New Alfa Romeo Lineup Will Impress Seattle Fans

Alfa Romeo explains that the name “4C” is suggestive of the sports driving pleasure which only the spectacular “4 cylinder” 1750 Turbo Petrol engine which offers over 200 HP can bring. Already featured on a number of models in production, for example the Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde, the engine boasts cutting-edge technical solutions such as direct injection, dual continuous variable valve timing, turbocharger and the revolutionary scavenging control system which eliminates turbo lag.

Seattle Alfa Romeo fans will be able to meet and experience the new 4C when it arrives in 2012. Seattle Alfa Romeo fans have been anxiously awaiting the return of the Alfa Romeo car to the US marketing for nearly 20 years.

Rairdon Dodge, Chrysler And Jeep, a Monroe Jeep dealership, is celebrating 70 years of Jeep with the 2011 Jeep Compass.  The Compass is everything drivers love about Jeeps: it offers amazing off-road performance and general versatility.  The abilities of the 2011 Jeep Compass will impress any Monroe Jeep fan.

The Compass and Latitude trims are built with a standard 2.0-liter World Engine that provides 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque coupled with continuously variable transmission (CVT2).  Even better, when paired with the five-speed manual transmission, the 2011 Jeep Compass delivers 23 city miles per gallon and 29 highway miles per gallon – fuel economy that is unsurpassed in the compact SUV segment.

Built To Please Monroe Jeep Drivers

The Compass has a more refined interior than the average Jeep; with new soft touch front door trim panels with a padded upper surface and a new center armrest.  The new Jeep steering wheel is built with integrated controls that allow the driver to operate the radio, cruise control, available hands free phone and other vehicle functions while keeping their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road.

Safety is also a standard feature on the new 2011 Jeep Compass.  Each vehicle is standard equipped with side-curtain airbags, electronic stability control and electronic roll mitigation, among other safety and security features. Hill-start Assist is available when drivers choose a manual transmission.  Front-seat mounted side airbags are also available.

In addition, the 2011 Compass is packed with standard features that make the vehicle as convenient and comfortable as possible for drivers. Air conditioning, power locks and windows, heated exterior mirrors, keyless entry and cruise control all come standard on every Compass model.

Off-road enthusiasts will love the capabilities of the compass.  With its second generation continuously variable transaxle with low range, 17” all-terrain tires and aluminum rims, a one inch raised ride height, and a full size spare, the Compass has it all.  The second-generation Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT2L) has an integral low range that provides the torque multiplication needed for water fording, steep grades and crawling slowly in off-road events.

Rairdon Nissan, a dealership serving Seattle Nissan drivers, is proud to show off the new 2011 Nissan Altima.  This versatile and stylish sedan is one of Nissan’s best-selling cars to date.  The Altima comes in a variety of trims, so Seattle Nissan drivers can pick which serves their needs best.

The 2011 is built to be tough as well as comfortable.  Nissan engineers put the Altima through over 5,000 quality and durability tests to ensure that it keeps performing mile after mile. This includes locking it in a chamber and baking it under 266 bulbs to reach extreme temperatures, as well as putting it through a battery of road tests where some of the worst road conditions possible are replicated.

There are two engines available for the Altima: a 2.5-liter I4 and a 3.5-liter V6.  The I4 generates 175 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque.  Fuel economy rates as 23 mpg city and 32 mpg highway.  The V6 ramps up the power with 270 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.  Mileage for that engine is 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway.

Many sports sedans feature independent suspensions, but the Altima takes the extra step and employs a Z-inspired, lightweight multi-link design for quick response, while still providing a supple ride.  And since comfort is important, Seattle Nissan drivers will find a rebound spring inside each shock absorber, resulting in a smoother ride and flatter more secure cornering.

More Features To Impress Seattle Nissan Fans

The Altima is packed with great safety features. They include dual front airbags, overhead airbags, and side curtain airbags in both rows for outbound occupants.  It also has Vehicle Dynamic Control, Electronic Traction Control, ad tire pressure monitoring.  The Zone Body construction minimized damage to the occupants by absorbing impact energy into quartered-off segments.  This includes crumple zones that will crush inward upon impact, instead of allowing that force to harm occupants.

For maximum comfort, the Altima features a plush and luxurious interior.  Available heated front seats make it hard to leave.  Unexpected upscale touches—like stitched interior—wood-tone details and patterned metallic accents, are options that make driving an elegant experience.  Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control is perfect for couples who can never agree on where to set the thermostat, allowing the driver and passenger to set the temperature individually.

Seattle Nissan customers can learn more about this and other great vehicles by calling Rairdon Nissan at (253) 217-4678 or visiting them online at http://www.nissanofauburn.com today.

Auburn Auto Repair Services

Some Auburn auto repair customers may not realize that keeping up with regular oil changes can help improve a vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Dirty oil in a car’s engine creates friction between the moving parts. The more friction an engine must deal with, the more heat it will produce. This combination of friction and heat will lead to a decrease in the total number of miles per gallon each engine can go in between fill-ups.

Regular oil changes are a great way to ensure the life of an engine for years to come. An engine that is maintained on a consistent basis will remain cleaner. A clean engine is less likely to seize up on its owner. Routine oil changes are a great combatant to engine buildup. New oil acts as a recycling agent and helps to remove deposits, while lubricating the engine in the same process.

Everett Auto Repair Suggestions

The Everett auto repair service technicians at Rairdon Auto Group recommend oil changes at least every 5,000 miles and stress the importance of regular oil changes. An oil change is preventative maintenance to change, inspect, check/fill and clean essential components of a vehicle that help keep it running smoothly.

Some Everett auto repair customers may not realize that keeping up with regular oil changes can help improve a vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Dirty oil in a car’s engine creates friction between the moving parts. The more friction an engine must deal with, the more heat it will produce. This combination of friction and heat will lead to a decrease in the total number of miles per gallon each engine can go in between fill-ups.

Regular oil changes are a great way to ensure the life of an engine for years to come. An engine that is maintained on a consistent basis will remain cleaner. A clean engine is less likely to seize up on its owner. Routine oil changes are a great combatant to engine buildup. New oil acts as a recycling agent and helps to remove deposits, while lubricating the engine in the same process.

Seattle Alfa Romeo Dealer Awaits an Italian Jeep

Alfa Romeo MiTo

This literal hybrid is a combination of Alfa Romeo and Jeep, and this Seattle Alfa Romeo dealership can’t be more excited! Although Jeep is not know for their style, they are an American classic that captures the essence of America.

The cars will be built at Fiat’s Mirafiori, Italy plant in Turin, where the Alfa Romeo Mito is currently being produced. The plant will get a major facelift in preparation for these two machines. Fiat, and Rairdon’s Seattle Alfa Romeo dealership, hopes to have vehicles flying out of the plant by the third quarter of 2012.

Some speculate the Jeep and Alfa Romeo combo will take cues from Fiat’s Compact Wide architecture that was first seen on the new Alfa Romeo Giuletta. The first Jeeps to reach the production line in Italy will be the Jeep Compass and Patriot. Both of these Jeeps already look good, so an Italian twist should be interesting.

This union will assist Alfa Romeo compete in the SUV class, which includes Audi Q5 and BMW X3. To start, Jeep will get more than half of the annual production, around 150,000 units of the 280,000 being created. Alfa Romeo dealers will get the remaining units and half of every model built will be shipped here, to the United States.

Rairdon’s Seattle Alfa Romeo dealership believes this new Alfa Romeo will play a key role in the re-launch. An Italian Jeep is an interesting concept, we look forward to its release. People, generally, are unsure of how Americans will take to an Italian Jeep, but whatever the outcome; this Seattle Alfa Romeo dealership is truly excited!

Seattle Alfa Romeo Dealer

Rairdon Auto Group eagerly awaits the arrival of all new Alfa Romeo vehicles. During this transition Rairdon is happy to share the latest news on Alfa Romeo vehicles to Seattle Alfa Romeo shoppers.

Seattle Alfa Romeo shoppers can find out more the arrival of Alfa Romeo vehicles and about this new venture by calling Rairdon Auto Group at (877) 337-2123.

The service center at Nissan of Auburn is proud to serve Seattle Nissan drivers with quality car maintenance and repairs and will help car owners keep up with routine maintenance.

General car maintenance, such as routine oil changes, tire rotations, fluid flushes and filter replacements, are all affordable procedures that will keep all vehicles in their best shape and in ideal driving conditions.

Seattle Nissan Service

Some of these procedures can be done by car owners, such as filter replacements. Car owners can find the correct filter for their vehicle at the part’s department at the leading Kent Nissan dealer or have them replaced at the dealership during their next car service. Filters that should be checked at a future visit include air filters, fuel filters and cabin filters.

Routine oil changes are among the easiest and most important things to keep up with. Be sure to make an appointment at the Kent Nissan dealer or stop by for an oil change. Oil changes are recommended every 3,000 miles. Routine oil changes ensure that the car and engine are running efficiently.

Car owners who do not keep up with oil changes will run into problems when their vehicle has old oil or not enough oil. Problems such as an engine overheating or other major problems can occur and result in high repair bills.

Fluid flushes should also be kept up with. Coolant/antifreeze flushes, brake system flushes and transmission fluid services also help to keep all vehicles in top shape. The technicians at the Seattle Nissan service center will let drivers know when their vehicle is in need of one.

Tire rotations are also important to lengthen the lifespan of tires. Tires should be rotated about every 5,000 miles or about every other oil change. Tire rotations are important because they prevent tires from wearing unevenly, which can cause a car to lean and lead to safety problems. Tire pressure should also be monitored, especially in the winter. Car owners should make sure that they have the correct about of pressure in their tires for safety and optimum fuel efficiency. Too low pressure wears down tires and tire treat and overfilling tires can cause tire blowouts.

Important inspections, such as checks on brakes, front end, under-carriage, belts, hoses and battery, should be done routinely to ensure that everything is in best shape.

Seattle Nissan owners can keep up with routine maintenance by having regular tune ups and checkups at Nissan of Auburn. Car owners will find that their vehicle will perform better and be in a much better driving condition.

Seattle Hyundai shoppers can experience all that is new with the 2011 model year including a sophisticated fluid design, advanced safety features and impressive fuel economy. In terms of appearance, Elantra is an evolution of the design qualities found in highly acclaimed Sonata. Along Elantra’s sides are Sonata’s flowing lines, with the addition of a strong undercut feature line starting at the front door. These lines, along with muscular wheel arches and a sleek roofline, create a memorable and spacious package. Flowing lines also lead to an aerodynamic body. Seattle Hyundai Elantra shoppers will be impressed with the estimated 40 MPG Elantra achieves on the highway. Elantra is more fuel-efficient than the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.

Seattle Hyundai Elantra Boasts Premium Features

Fuel efficiency makes the Elantra an obvious choice for longer travels and highway driving, but there are plenty of other reasons why Seattle Hyundai shoppers of all lifestyles will appreciate the new Elantra. Inside, the Elantra is spacious, providing class-above mid-size car interior volume, touch-screen navigation with rearview camera and iPod®/USB inputs, Bluetooh® hands-free phone system with voice recognition, and heated rear seats (a segment first).

As part of Hyundai’s assurance commitment, the Elantra is packed with advanced safety features, most notably, Vehicle Stability Management (VSM). Similar to the one found in the Hyundai Equus, VSM optimally manages ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and the Motor-Driven electric Power Steering (MDPS).

VSM works to control two effects. The first is when a driver accelerates or brakes on a split-mu surface (slippery on one side, dry pavement on the other) and the vehicle wants to pull in one direction. VSM detects this condition and sends a signal to the MDPS to apply steering assist. VSM counters the pull and automatically provides 8 Newton meters of counter steering. VSM reacts the same way during sudden lane changes or fast cornering.

Seattle Hyundai Elantra shoppers who would like to learn more about the latest addition to the Hyundai lineup can find out more by calling Hyundai of Bellingham at (360) 200-4744.

The Dodge Avenger’s “fun to drive” quotient rises exponentially for 2011 with a significantly upgraded suspension to give Washington drivers agile, confident, handling performance in all driving situations, whether it’s a spirited adventure on twisty roads or an emergency maneuver.

Dodge engineers retuned or redesigned virtually every part of the suspension for 2011, while completely rethinking the vehicle’s internal geometry. The track is an inch wider, tire width increased, and the vehicle is lower in the front and rear for a more aggressive stance. Dodge drivers will undoubtedly feel more confident when driving the new Avenger around Monroe, thanks to less body roll, less vehicle shake, improved isolation, better steering precision, response and feel and the increased grip of new premium tires.

A new and improved powertrain lineup also contributes to the 2011 Avenger’s driving experience. The vehicle has a standard 2.4-liter World Gas Engine, which has been recalibrated and is now available mated to a new smooth-shifting six-speed transmission for an exceptionally fun and fuel-efficient driving experience. Avenger drivers also can opt for the new Pentastar V-6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that gives customers the best of both worlds – best-in-class 283 horsepower (an increase of 20 percent compared with the engine it replaces) and 260 lb.-ft. of torque (an increase of 12 percent) combined with competitive fuel economy.

New exterior styling on the 2011 Dodge Avenger features clean, smooth aggressive lines. The all-new instrument panel, bezels, gauge faces and new Dodge steering wheel transform the driver seat into a cockpit-like experience. Upgraded seats incorporate more cushion material and revised spring geometry. The Dodge Avenger also features several new two-tone interior color schemes, new leather and cloth seating materials and accent stitching. Monroe Dodge drivers can select from these schemes to design a vehicle that matches their lifestyle needs.

Designers developed the 2011 Dodge Avenger with new “soft touch” armrests and instrument panels, new, premium interior finishes for touch points that are not only pleasing to the touch but also to the eye. They also redesigned the heating and cooling outlets in the instrument panel to make them more appealing and better functioning. The 2011 Dodge Avenger also offers one of the quietest cabins in the segment with 45 new or upgraded sound-deadening treatments integrated throughout the vehicle.

Clever features inside the 2011 Dodge Avenger include new ambient interior lighting and a new multi-function three-spoke Dodge steering wheel with integrated controls that allows drivers to operate the radio, cruise control, hands-free phone and other vehicle functions while keeping their hands on the wheel.

Available cool technology includes voice command functions for hands-free phones, integrated USB port for streaming music, navigation and memo record, an iPod/MP3 jack, Bluetooth streaming music; Gracenote music identification; a hard drive that stores approximately 6,700 songs and remote start.

Customers will be impressed by Rairdon Dodge Jeep Chrysler’s highly trained staff and offers the highest levels of customer satisfaction.  A Seattle car service technician will help customers with any need they might have or any question about an upcoming oil change.

Rairdon Dodge Jeep Chrysler believes that an oil change is the one thing that can keep cars in the best shape and miss out on potential damages later on.  Customers should get an oil change every 3,000-5,000 miles.  This is important to do within that mile range for a couple reasons.

Seattle Car Service Center at Rairdon Dodge Jeep Chrysler: Oil Change Overview

Oil undergoes thermal breakdown due to high temperature.  If not changed at the right time, the oil becomes less effective as a lubricant and without that parts of the engine rub together and wear out.  This could lead to possible engine problems and expensive repairs.  Oil also contains additives that have the ability to neutralize acids and the longer drivers go without oil changes, the less effective these additives become.

Seattle car owners do not realize that keeping up with regular oil changes can help improve a vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Dirty oil in a car’s engine creates friction between the moving parts. The more friction an engine must deal with, the more heat it will produce. This combination of friction and heat will lead to a decrease in the total number of miles per gallon each engine can go in between fill-ups.

The Seattle car service center at Rairdon Dodge Jeep Chrysler also advises drivers to take a look at the engine’s oil level every couple hundred miles or so to see if everything is going smoothly.  If driver’s notice that the dipstick is reading that the oil level is at the minimum, then driver’s can fill the needed amount to get it back to the right level.  Make sure to use the correct oil that is located in the owner’s manual.

While vehicle maintenance is always vital, it is especially important as winter approaches. During these months, vehicles have to fend off bitter cold temperatures, ice, snow, slush and salt. With these tips, Kent Nissan drivers can be prepared for any upcoming weather.

Nissan Service Kent WA

Customers can make sure their vehicle is in top shape for the season by visiting the leading center for Nissan service in Kent WA at Nissan of Auburn for vehicle service. Mechanics at the service center can easily perform all the following steps to ensure that all vehicles are ready for winter driving.

A car not starting isn’t fun at any time, but it’s even less fun in the freezing cold. Have the battery and charging system checked by a local mechanic, who can ensure its connections are clean, tight and corrosion free or replace the battery if it is more than three years old.

Brakes, of course, should be checked given how important they become on icy or snow-covered roads.

Also with control in mind, drivers should take the time to check tire tread depth and tire pressure. Tire pressure should actually be checked weekly during the winter as it can fall as much as a pound per square inch with every 10-degree drop in temperature. Owners should also consider special tires to grip slick roads in especially snowy areas.

As always, changing the oil at recommended intervals is important, but dirty oil can be even more of a problem in winter. A switch to low viscosity oil is often a smart choice, as it can easily flow, even at cold temperatures.

Finally, to maintain the best possible visibility, antifreeze and wiper blades need to be replaced. Antifreeze should be flushed out and refilled every two years in most vehicles. Wiper blades, which can have their lifespans cut down by cold weather, should be changed if they are cracked, torn or don’t properly clean the windshield. These parts can be picked up at the parts department at the Nissan service center in Kent.

To schedule a service appointment, give the Nissan of Auburn service department a call at 877-500-6186 or visit then Kent Nissan service center online at http://www.kentnissanservice.com/.

It’s a vehicle to take to lunch, running errands or on a long ski weekend in any part of the country.”

Finally a convertible that is not for the single person who can get by with a two-seater but instead can cart around a family of four and all of the stuff that comes with it.  When the convertible top is up the car has a spacious 12.3 cubic feet of storage room and when the top is down the storage shrinks down to 7.6 cubic feet with still enough room to fit two sets of golf clubs.

Here are some of the standard features of Washington Nissan drivers’ new favorite convertible:

• 9.3GB Music Box® hard drive
• XM NavTraffic® (XM® subscription required, sold separately)

The new 2011 Dodge Challenger builds on its original mantra of a rearwheel-drive coupe that promises a balanced approach between form and function. In addition, impressive straight-line acceleration and world-class ride and handling go along with high-performance braking and the latest technology to delivers improved fuel efficiency for Washington Dodge drivers.

The result is the newest version of the quickest coupe in the Dodge lineup packed with modern amenities and features performance Seattle Dodge enthusiasts will love.  The new Dodge Challenger answers their call for more power off the line, with the increase in torque truly creating the thrust that sets you back in the seat and keeps you there!

Pumping out 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, the newest HEMI engine in the SRT product lineup provides an additional 90 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,900 rpm versus the previous 6.1-liter V-8 engine. The added torque allows for inspired standing starts and improved straight-line performance while new, performance-tuned motor mounts improve idle stability and ride control at any speed. An active intake manifold and high-lift camshaft with cam phasing provides maximum low-end torque while optimizing high-end power.

The 2011 Dodge Challenger is available with either the standard five-speed automatic transmission with Auto Stick or an available Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission. Like the original 392 HEMI, the performance on the street and at the track is sure to turn heads with numbers such as 0-60 mph in high 4-second range and quarter-mile elapsed time in the high 12s.

New for 2011 is the Fuel Saver technology in automatic transmission equipped models, which allows the engine to operate economically on four cylinders or use all eight cylinders when needed. A redesigned SRT-tuned exhaust system results in a deeper, throatier note that will surely create envious onlookers both during daily commutes and at the race track.

The exterior styling of the 2011 Dodge Challenger remains unmistakably Dodge, with proportions that evoke a bold, instantly recognizable vehicle that has a wide, stable stance on the road.

A larger front splitter and integrated front fender spats improve overall highspeed aerodynamics and overall balance. Top speed has been increased to more than 180 mph with the manual transmission (173 mph in the automatic).

A newly modified front fascia chin spoiler improves aerodynamics and is accent painted for a more aggressive look. The rear deck-lid spoiler also is completed in matching body color.

The precise performance handling of the 2011 Dodge Challenger comes to life through a new, right-sized, three-spoke steering wheel that features a carbon fiber accented leather wrap and silver metallic painted spokes at the 3-, 6- and 9 o’clock positions.

The trapezoidal instrument panel features a four-bomb gauge cluster with chromed accent rings and unique, new for 2011 SRT graphics. Inside the cluster, the SRT-exclusive Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) with performance pages provides the driver with trip information, multimedia information from the Media Center radio, along with instant feedback on 0-60 mph time, 60-0 mph braking, G-forces, one-eighth mile and quarter-mile times.

Power lumbar-equipped front seats are standard on all 2011 Dodge Challenger models. It’s also much easier to get in and out of the rear seat. The driver’s seat now features seatback tilt with memory and an easy to reach release handle, while the front-passenger seat adds tilt and slide with memory, which makes it even easier to use.

New, highly damped shocks offer a firm ride that maintains the feel for everyday commuting while being fully capable for the more challenging situations. The suspension geometry was recalibrated to improve the 2011 Dodge Challenger’s balance, cornering ability and steering responsiveness. Quicker steering ratios and new negative camber settings all around dramatically improve the Challenger’s appetite for high-speed cornering.

The result: the 2011 Dodge Challenger  is capable of .93g on the skid pad – the most of any production Challenger and on par with some of the world’s best-handling performance coupes.

Raidon Auto Group encourages Seattle Dodge drivers to get behind the wheel and put their foot on the throttle of the 2011 Dodge Challenger in Seattle to experience a responsiveness like no other that makes it a blast to drive.
