2016 Ford Fiesta Named Among 'Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000' by Kelley Blue Book This is the sixth time in seven years that KBB.com has named Fiesta as one of the Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000. The uniquely designed Ford Fiesta – starting from $14,090 – shows that cool and affordable really can coexist. As one of America’s most popular small cars, Fiesta offers customers a fun, dynamic car with nimble handling and a comfortable ride, all at an appealing value. Cars that earn a spot on the KBB coolest new cars list must be fun to drive and fun to own. Each vehicle also must be available for purchase starting at $18,000 or less, using Kelley Blue Book’s exclusive Fair Market Range as the yardstick. “Cool sure has come a long way,” says Jack Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book. “Our annual Coolest New Cars Under $18,000 is one of Kelley Blue Book’s longest-running lists, and it’s incredible to see all of the amazing tech features and amenities you can get on an affordable car these days compared to a decade ago.” Available in hatch or sedan bodystyles, Ford’s popular small car offers a wide range of choice; from the powerful and efficient available 1.0-liter

EcoBoost engine to the sporty 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the Fiesta ST. SYNC 3 – the latest Ford communications and entertainment system – is also standard, offering customers enhanced voice recognition, ultimate music streaming control and SYNC AppLink™ enabling customers to control some mobile apps while driving. Watch Ken Block's 2016 Gymkhana Eight: Ultimate Exotic Playground; Dubai for the ultimate expression of Fiesta’s “cool factor.” Celebrating its 40th birthday in Europe this year, the Fiesta has been on sale in North America since 2010, notching up more than 285,000 sales in that time.

2017 Toyota Camry Reveals Secret for Remaining America's Top-Selling Passenger Car for 14 Consecutive Years The 2017 Toyota Camry continues to offer the best combination of roominess, comfort, quality, safety and performance in the midsize segment, as defined by the best judges of such factors: customers. And so you could say that the formula for turning a midsize sedan into America’s best-selling passenger car for 14 consecutive years hides in plain sight.

The Camry, now in its 35th year and seventh design generation, adds even more value for 2017, with the XLE and XSE grades now having as standard the Entune™ Audio Plus multimedia system with Connected Navigation App & JBL® Audio. The XLE, XSE four-cylinder and XLE Hybrid now also come standard with Qi Wireless Smartphone Charging for compatible phones. These additional standard features come at no added cost to the consumer, as the MSRP on all Camry models is carried over from the previous model year. For an extra dash of style, the bold Blue Streak Metallic color, which was on the 2016 Camry Special Edition, is now a regular production color available for the sporty SE and XSE grades. The 2017 Camry meets the needs of a broad spectrum of midsize sedan customers by offering a broad selection of models. Camry comes in four distinctive grades, including LE, XLE, SE, and XSE. Another key to Camry’s ongoing dominance in the midsize segment is found under the hood, where three powertrain choices include a 178-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine; 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 and the Hybrid model, which is expected to offer up to a 40 MPG combined rating. The 2.5-liter four and 3.5-liter V6 engines come teamed with a six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel efficiency, long a Camry calling card, comes in at an anticipated 24 MPG city / 33 MPG highway for the four-cylinder and 21 MPG city / 30 MPG highway for the V6.

TEST DRIVE: THE ALL-NEW 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

The All-New 2017 Chrysler Pacifica The minivan of the future . . . or the future of the minivan?

YOU KNOW THOSE futuristic movies where life as we know it has been disrupted and something familiar has taken on an entirely new meaning in society? One that comes to mind is Demolition Man, from 1993, in which every restaurant is now Taco Bell. In this redefined gourmet establishment, you won’t find cheap tacos on the menu. Hold the phone, because this future, this brand revolution, this societal disruption has arrived for the minivan in the form of a resurrected brand itself: the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. Here’s what we do-or-die minivan drivers already know about this long-standing class of family transport: minivans are comfortable. They go down the road like butter. But most of all, they’re kid-convenient in such life-altering way that you’ll trade anything to keep it — with looks and body style being the first to go. But when I test drove the 2017 Pacifica at Joe Machens Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, I discovered something: Chrysler has found a way to put it all in one package. No tradeoffs. A minivan has finally hit the market offering all standard conveniences (and soaring beyond them) without requiring any compromise on style or features. The minivan of the future, the game-changer, has arrived. The look of the Pacifica is sleek – a body style and lines like you’ve never seen on a

van. Goodbye, box cars; the Pacifica bucks all stereotypes. Right away, the 20-inch rims make a statement. This one was silver, a great color choice that paired well with light chrome accents. It was . . . stylish. Classy. Cool. Then come the features, so prepare for a blown mind. Hit up Chrysler.com/Pacifica for the full list of what this model brings to the table, because I only have room to list my favorites. The winner? A media station at each seat. At this point, the one DVD player in my 2007 Town & Country has become one more thing to fight over, which makes multiple media stations a dream come true. And when I say media station, I don’t just mean DVDs. I’m talking games, USB port, Wi-Fi hotspot, sweet headphone-friendly full-on media stations. Bam. The other features I loved? Bump a button with your free hip, and the doors pop open. SIX exterior cameras give you a birds-eye view — no blind spots. All the lane-assist, crash-prevention, self-parking coolness you could want comes standard. The seats fold in and out at the touch of a button. The first and second row seats heat or cool depending on the weather when you use remote start (oh yeah, that’s standard too). The nav system is now Google — so long, Siri. But I can’t get over the look and feel of this van, inside and out. Of course it drives like

butter; I expected no less. The features really are futuristic, and all current minivan lovers are going to go nuts over this stuff. But this model transcends that segment. The Pacifica is going to convert buyers across the board who will now admit that the minivan is cool. In fact, it’s awesome. Enter the 2017 Pacifica — the minivan of the future, literally changing the future of the minivan.
