The Escalade is America’s unquestioned leader for the ultimate full size luxury SUV. The 2015 model year boasts a completely redesigned body style that is an evolution of the one it replaces. In true Escalade fashion where more is more this vehicle doesn’t disappoint as it is larger, faster and features more standard options than the outgoing model.
There has been a phenomenon sweeping our nation of car buffs and fans over the last few years that typically happens on Saturday or Sunday mornings from New York to Los Angeles called "Cars and Coffee" or some variation of that. Cars and Carburetors, Cars and Decaf, Wheels and Coffee and my guess is there are other names for these local events.
Lamborghini is a luxury Italian brand mostly known for the exotic supercars they’ve been building since the sixties to compete with the likes of Ferrari and most recently Porsche. Their design language is unique with sharp and angular design queues and today the entry level Lamborghini model is the Huracan and has an MSRP of $199,800.00. At this point you might be wondering if you clicked on the wrong article as it is entitled “The Affordable Lamborghini” but have no fear you are in the right place.
But before you think you are going to have a chance to get one of these exotics with Honda money don’t be fooled, as it’s still a car out of reach for the average Joe and you are likely going to have to “pony up” close to six figures and easily exceed that. I probably lost a few readers with that real fact but if you are still with me here are some to consider.
It’s a crazy and confusing time to be in the market for a new vehicle BUT it’s also a great time because lines have been blurred across domestics and imports, luxury and non-luxury. The one constant that remains despite the record level sales is cars are a necessity even in places like New York City and most Americans dream of luxury ownership.
The glut of inventory for luxury vehicles from prestige brands has made owning a luxury vehicle more affordable than ever if you consider buying pre-owned. Whether you are buying near new or something older that is a certified pre-owned vehicle there isn’t an argument based in good logic to buy new.
The Corvette also known as the Vet is manufactured by Chevrolet but don't let that fool you. The latest version of the "Vet" also known to the car geeks as the C7 has an MSRP that clearly says luxury.
Many would argue that any BMW convertible would be an acceptable means of transportation and you’d get little argument from me but of all their convertible offerings there is a special one. Many of you define special in a number of ways but this kind of special is the M6 Convertible model.
Let’s do the math. A slightly used car defined as a two year old with an average depreciation rate of 15% per year leaves an entry level Bentley still priced at no less than $172,000.00 and that is clearly not “affordable” unless we are talking “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” so how is a Bentley affordable you ask?
