Welcome to the next generation of driving. We’ve already seen a lot of changes across the board in the industry, with innovative automakers like Toyota and Nissan leading the way in change. Pressures from consumers, government officials and corporations for more focus on how we can reduce our impact on the economy, coupled with a general push away from foreign oil and towards more feasible fossil fuels, have been driving factors in the sudden shift in the auto industry. Thus far, we’ve seen a lot of progress made in the small and subcompact car segments because it’s simply easier to find a way to reduce the emissions on a smaller car.

A constant point of contention in the whole reform is the issue of power. How do you get the power you want in a car if you’re using as little fuel as possible? Manufacturers are beginning to make progress in this area. But the really exciting news here isn’t about the Prius – or any other vehicle making headlines for fuel efficiency. While it might seem surprising, the next big innovation in fuel economy is coming out of your Chicago Mercedes dealer. And it’s no small announcement; we’re talking about the next level of efficiency here.

Two words can sum up how big this announcement is: zero emissions. But it isn’t an electric car in the sense that the coming Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt EVs are; this is an electric car that makes its own power onboard. The Mercedes-Benz F-Cell never needs gas or recharging, unlike other fuel efficient vehicles set to hit the market. The new buzzword for fuel efficient automotive technology is “hydrogen” – the new fuel for the Mercedes F-Cell, which will eventually be available at Batavia Mercedes Benz dealers near you.

This solid vehicle debuted at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show, where Mercedes execs announced that the F-Cell will be built on the B-class platform, a compact that is popular in Europe and Asia. The model type is a smaller vehicle, one that will definitely fit in with America’s new interest in more compact cars. It’ll also offer a great option for city drivers, who will be able to park their vehicles in smaller spots. Your Chicago Mercedes dealer will do well by taking advantage of the revolution in the automotive industry and coupling it to the manufacturer’s solid reputation for quality, luxury and reliability.

For Chicago Mercedes-Benz dealers, the revolution is right around the corner. With a range of about 240 miles, the F-Cell runs on compressed hydrogen to get the spectacular fuel mileage of 86.6 city-highway combined miles per gallon. As has been the tradition with many cutting-edge manufacturers focused on fuel economy, the automaker will release 200 production models in 2010 for a special leasing program. Make sure to keep up with your Batavia Mercedes Benz dealer to get the latest news on the production vehicles.

The next time you visit your Chicago Mercedes-Benz dealership, remember the new name in innovation: Mercedes.

The Canadian vehicle market has taken on an identity of its own over the last 15 years. Unlike their American counterparts, Canadians typically took the avenue of finding a new vehicle as appose to buying previously owned. This was by far most apparent in the automotive sector where 3 out of every 4 cars sold were considered “New.” However, today brings uncertain times with a declining and uncertain economy every industry has felt the effects.

The Canadian Automotive sector is seeing quite the transformation in that the popular leases of the past are being phased out by franchised dealers in favour of financing. GMAC Club and Chrysler Financial have discontinued leases throughout North America. Ford Motor Credit hasn’t exactly taken the same approach; they have instead increased their lease rates to the point that no one could even afford them. We must ask ourselves why? For starters, dealerships have seen too many lease terminations due to missed payments and in turn have now become stuck with an abundance of unexpected off lease vehicles in their inventory. Even more pressing is the difficulty that dealerships are having in trying to sell any cars in these scarce economic times. Furthermore, from a funding standpoint, money isn’t as readily available due to the deteriorating credit of the finance arms and their parent automakers.  This has made for a very difficult situation in the automotive sector and has instantly transformed the Canadian automotive market. In the U.S.A. one out of every four cars sold is used, Canadians should begin to anticipate similar sales ratios.

Research into the Canadian consumer has provided some interesting findings:

·         Canadian consumers tend to be more risk averse than their counterparts in other markets.

·         They are also more cost-conscious, with monthly payments a major driving factor behind purchase decisions.

·         They tend to keep vehicles longer than in the United States, resulting in a less active used vehicle market.

The economy has initiated a dramatic, yet necessary change. Canadians will no longer be able to afford monthly payments and as leases conclude over the next 3 years an abundance of consumers will have to turn to the used vehicle market to find a vehicle they can readily afford.

Consumers now more than ever are shopping online for previously owned vehicles. Selection has been key to shopping in the past; however today new services exist the help buyers find the vehicle that promises to be right for them.

We’re all Lexus fans at heart. How could you not be? The brand offers all the luxury, power, performance and heart that any vehicle could give. And, of course, the brand is backed by an industry-leading manufacturer in Toyota, and we all know how Toyota has been shaking things up across the board in terms of innovation. My mom owns a Lexus SUV, so I’ve had a chance to really experience the brand for myself. The drive really lives up to its reputation, and even traveling as a passenger is a delightful experience when you’re surrounded by lush leather and fancy wood grained paneling.

When I went to visit my mother this past December, I hopped off the plane, grabbed my bags and was greeted by the beautiful vehicle herself. Such grace and agility, she looked like she was straight out of painting. When I opened the door, the smell of the leather hit me in a calming wave, and I sunk deep into the seat as we drove down I-90 towards her home in the suburbs. It was a pacifying experience as my mother and I exchanged greetings and news to cruise the highway in such a stealthy vehicle.

When I got back to my apartment a week later, I found myself obsessively researching the Lexus brand and came across a bit of news from a few years ago about an innovative supercar that was meant to hit Palatine Lexus dealerships by 2012. While never officially announced for production, the Lexus GS-F boasted a Formula 1-inspired sub-5.0-liter V-10 that pumps out 500 plus horsepower for the ultimate in powerful rides. Chicago Lexus GS drivers have yet to see this car, but I have my fingers crossed that the brand will put it into production and reaffirm its slated 2012 release date.

Palatine Lexus dealers couldn’t go wrong selling the GS-F, which would leverage a combination of fuel efficiency and extraordinary power to propel itself into the hearts of Chicago Lexus GS drivers across the city. So I implore and beseech Lexus execs, if they’re listening: do yourselves a favor and put this sweet baby on the market. You won’t regret doing so.

It’s about time Toyota gave some more weight to its Lexus brand with a new innovation. Some of Toyota’s work in fuel efficient technology has translated to innovations in Lexus models. Toyota’s work with the Prius has been truly groundbreaking in a day and age when it seems like the rest of the industry’s automakers are simply struggling to keep up. Chicago used Lexus GS dealers are still getting a great client base during the recession – a fact that points to Toyota’s work to stay as ahead of the game as they can.

Over 2010, as automotive sales begin to raise again in the face of huge industry innovations, we’ll hope to begin seeing Toyota and Lexus take back their rightful places as industry leaders. Your Chicago used Lexus GS dealership will again show that it is one of the best places to buy a pre-owned luxury vehicle.
