January 2016
Welcome to 2016, and our seventh year of Machens Advantage magazine. On behalf of all of us here at Joe Machens Dealerships, we hope you had an enjoyable Christmas season, and are ready for a terrific new year in mid-Missouri. Before moving forward, I’d like to look back at the year that was. Due to your commitment, Joe Machens Dealerships was again able to support a significant number of outstanding charitable organizations and local schools in 2015. Giving back to the community is something our group feels very strongly about, and we are fortunate to live and work in an area with so many caring partners. We look forward to continuing to help build brighter futures together. 2016 promises to be a fun, productive and rewarding year as well. It starts off by saluting an important, historic figure with Martin Luther King Day on January 18th. And mark your calendars for Saturday, February 20th, when we are pleased to again sponsor the American Heart Association’s Heart & Stroke Ball. It is a wonderful evening in support of another great cause. If you are looking for a little extra heat this winter, come by Joe Machens Ford Lincoln or Joe Machens Capital City Ford Lincoln and rev up the all-new 2016 Lincoln MKX, our January cover feature. This luxury crossover has been completely refreshed inside and out and is simply stunning. What a great

As hard as it might be on some days, I encourage everyone to get outside and do something fun. As fast as 2015 went, it is nice to know that spring will be here soon.

Test drive: The All-New 2016 Lincoln MKX
The All-New 2016 Lincoln MKX It’s what’s on the inside that counts. At least that’s what I’ve been told. Luckily, the all-new 2016 Lincoln MKX is stunning both inside AND out. So, feel free to judge this book by its cover. It took no coaxing to swap out Lucy (my college car) for a day with the Lincoln MKX. While Lucy and I have shared many memories, I’ve been searching for a new companion to cruise with. Sadly, my college days have come and gone, replaced with two jobs, a house and two children (well, dogs, but if you knew them you’d understand). Thanks to the wonderful staff at Joe Machens Ford Lincoln, this young professional may have found a worthy travel companion for the road to figuring out this whole “adulthood” thing. (Besides, Lucy got her first day off in seven years. I’m still waiting for mine.) So, let’s judge this book by its cover. While crossovers are gaining popularity as a “moreuseful-than-a-car” yet “sportier-than-a-van” alternative, I was a little hesitant. I may not feel it sometimes but I’m trying to stay young and not quite ready for a “mom-car”. However, the Lincoln MKX wears a subtle split-wing grille that flows seamlessly into the blade like headlights and highlight the vehicle’s elegant contours. The redesign gives the new model a more dynamic, sportier and somehow simultaneously sophisticated profile. It showcases a powerful presence with chrome accents, a sloping roof, rear spoiler and wraparound taillights. Taking a stroll around this vehicle, looking for a bad side, I realized that this was more of a “whoa momma” than “mom-car”. Digging a little deeper, I saw what really counts. The 3.7-liter V-6 engine delivering an
overall 21 mpg adding a bit back to the bank while a surprising 335 Horsepower subtracts time from the commute. But it’s not all about the numbers. The way this car feels whether you’re in bumper to bumper traffic or on the highway is perfect. She’s not all brawn, this car has brains as well. Every inch of the interior undoubtedly keeps the new Lincoln MKX at the top of the luxury segment. This car has been designed to be your stress free zone, sealing you inside with active noise cancellation, an acoustic windshield and additional sound insulation. There is a breathtaking absence - absence of the noisy road, wind rushing by and it even seems an absence of the daily stressors. Those of you that know me may not believe it, I didn’t get road rage, not even once. She’s got the looks, brawn and brains. But that’s not all. She’s got the guts. The push-button shift frees up center-console space for extra coffee cups and spare change. The Microsoft Sync is a to-die-for command station with navigation, smartphone connectivity, and temperature all controlled with the sound of your voice. My voice commands were pretty neat but the sound of hers was better. Yes, she read my Facebook newsfeed to me while I drove in stress free bliss. #commandstation After getting to know this potential partner I might just be retiring Lucy and getting myself into this decked out, stress free and “whoa momma” newly redesigned 2016 Lincoln MKX. The only thing left up for debate is the perfect name for the perfect car.

Six Quick Tips for Sub-Zero Winter Driving When it comes to winter car care, many motorists think of antifreeze and batteries, but vehicles need extra attention when temperatures drop below zero. The non-profit Car Care Council offers six quick tips to help your vehicle perform at its best during cold weather months. 1. Keep the gas tank at least half full; this decreases the chance of moisture forming in the gas lines and possibly freezing.
4. If you’re not trying to defrost the windshield or warm the interior, modern cars are ready to be driven right away. Idling longer than 30 seconds in most cases is unnecessary for the sake of warming up the engine. The best way to warm up your car is to drive gently at the start.
2. Check the tire pressure, including the spare, as tires can lose pressure when temperatures drop. Consider special tires if snow and ice are a problem in your area.
5. Change to low-viscosity oil in winter as it will flow more easily between moving parts when it is cold. Drivers in sub-zero temperatures should drop their oil weight from 10-W30 to 5-W30 as thickened oil can make it hard to start the car.
3. Have the exhaust system checked for carbon monoxide leaks, which can be especially dangerous during cold weather driving when windows are closed.
6. Consider using cold weather washer fluid and special winter windshield blades if you live in a place with especially harsh winter conditions.
“Sub-zero temperatures can have a real impact on your vehicle,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Winter magnifies existing problems such as pings, hard starts, sluggish performance and rough idling, and very cold temperatures reduce battery power. If you haven’t had your vehicle checked recently, a thorough vehicle inspection is a good idea so you can avoid the aggravation and unexpected cost of a breakdown in freezing weather.” As a precaution, motorists should be sure their vehicle is stocked with an emergency kit containing an ice scraper and snowbrush, jumper cables, flashlight, blanket, extra clothes, bottled water, dry food snacks and needed medication.

2016 Nissan Sentra Offers New Exterior Appearance, Refreshed Interior and Advanced Safety and Driving Technologies
Photo credit: nissanusa.com
The Nissan Sentra compact sedan has achieved some impressive numbers over its more than 30 years and seven generations of production. For the 2016 model year, Sentra has undergone a significant refreshening – starting with a revised exterior and the addition of an expanded suite of available safety and driving aid technologies. A Revised Nissan “Family” Exterior: The new 2016 Sentra exterior redesign brings its appearance closer in look and feel to its more upscale showroom Maxima and Altima siblings. “The 2016 Sentra’s new exterior adds a sense of sportiness to the refined style and proportions, as well as adding a strong connection to the Nissan sedan and crossover family.” said Shiro Nakamura, senior vice president and chief creative officer, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Key features of the 2016 Sentra exterior include a new front fascia, grille, fenders, hood and signature boomerang-shaped headlights. In the rear, a new fascia with redesigned boomerang-shaped taillights adds a more premium appearance. A Roomy, Refined Interior Environment: The interior has also been revised for the 2016 model year, with a new steering wheel similar to the Nissan 370Z design, a new available 6-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar (standard on Sentra SL and optional on Sentra SR), a new center cluster
design, a new console and shifter knob, and refined seat fabrics. The instrument panel offers a new TFT-type (Thin Film Transistor) LCD flat panel display with higher resolution than previous LCD screens. Sentra SV, SR and SL grades include a 5.0-inch Advanced Drive-Assist™ Display (ADAD) located between the tachometer and speedometer. For 2016, Sentra again offers ample roominess in a compact-size exterior – featuring one of the largest interiors in class, with 111.0 cubic feet of total interior volume. Advanced Connectivity and Safety Shield Technologies: The 2016 Sentra offers advanced technology features that help owners stay connected. Standard on Sentra SL and available on SV and SR grades is NissanConnect with Navigation and Mobile Apps, featuring a 5.8-inch color touch-screen, NissanConnect Apps (including iHeartRadio, Pandora®, Facebook, Twitter®, TripAdvisor and Online Search powered by GoogleTM), SiriusXM® Traffic, SiriusXM® Travel Link™ with fuel prices, weather, movie listing, sports scores and stock prices (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately), and Nissan Voice Recognition for audio and navigation. A number of Nissan’s advanced Safety Shield Technologies are now available on Sentra for the first time for the 2016 model year – Forward Emergency Braking (FEB), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). Fuel-Efficient 1.8-liter Engine and Advanced Xtronic Transmission All 2016 Sentra models utilize a fuel-efficient 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to an advanced Xtronic transmission with sub-planetary gear. The advanced 1.8-liter DOHC 4-cyinder engine offers a longer stroke than typical engines in its class, resulting in improved combustion speed and efficiency. The engine is rated at 130 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is rated at 29 mpg city, 38 mpg highway and 32 mpg combined with the Xtronic transmission.

Golf GTE Sport Concept Takes the Plug-In Hybrid to a Whole New Level Volkswagen of America, Inc. showed the Golf GTE Sport concept for the first time in North America at the Los Angeles International Auto Show. The concept car blurs the lines between road and motorsport vehicles, because it features the drivetrain, suspension, body and interior of a pure-bred sports car in combination with an advanced plug-in hybrid system that’s capable of zero-emission driving. Powertrain: The 1.6-liter TSI engine is adapted from the two-time World Rally Championship winning Polo R WRC and delivers 295 horsepower and maximum torque of 295 pound-feet. The four-cylinder engine is assisted by two electric motors, one in the front of the car and one in the rear. The front motor develops 113 horsepower and maximum torque of 243 lb-ft, while the rear motor has the same power output and 199 lb-ft of torque: the total system torque is 494 lb-ft. Wherever possible, the concept car operates as an electric vehicle. In sporty “GTE mode” all three motors work together, giving the all-wheel-drive Golf GTE Sport a zero to 62 mph time of 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 174 mph. In the NEDC cycle for plug-in hybrid vehicles, the GTE Sport’s fuel economy is an impressive 118 mpg. Exterior: The design of the Golf GTE Sport illustrates how Golf GT models could develop in future. The car’s striking silhouette features C-pillars with a unique two-level design. This C-pillar treatment is not only dynamic from a

well-appointed interior. It is engineered with advanced safety features including a Lane Departure Warning system, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Change Assist, Backup Warning Sensors and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). The 2016 Tucson also earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS’s) 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation.
design standpoint—with the vehicle taking an hourglass shape from front to back—but also functional, as the airstream flows between the two levels and contributes to the aerodynamic downforce and cooling for the rear brakes. The body is largely made of lightweight carbonfiber. The concept car is painted in pearlescent “White Club” and has two gullwing doors that swing forwards. The upper part of each door extends into the roof and is entirely made of dark exposed carbonfiber. A three-dimensional side sill is integrated in the door cutout and also enhanced at the top with carbonfiber. Other elements receiving the carbonfiber treatment are the door mirror caps, the door window frames and the lower sill area. Interior: The interior, clad in carbonfiber and microfiber, consists of two completely separate areas for the driver and passenger. Racing bucket seats with five-point belts are positioned to the rear of the car and the steering column projects further into the interior, like a race car. The motorsport steering wheel includes paddle shifters for the transmission. On the dash, three transparent instrument displays are arranged behind one another. The display closest to the driver is the smallest and shows the selected gear and the battery status, while the center display shows the power delivered by the drivetrain and the electric boost of the plug-in system. The third display is the largest and has the speed and driving range constantly in the driver’s field of vision. The operating mode switch for selecting “E-Mode”, “GTE-Mode” or “Hybrid-Mode” is situated in the roof, like in a jet plane. There’s even a control panel positioned to the right of the driver including a button for activating a fire extinguisher system. Drive Modes: In normal operation the Golf GTE Sport drives just as quietly as the production Golf GTE. In “E-Mode” the concept car solely uses the battery to drive emission-free for up to 31 miles on a single charge. When the minimum battery charge is reached, the 1.6 TSI engine is automatically switched on and the Golf GTE Sport drives in “Hybrid” mode. In “E-Mode”, the rear electric motor is primarily responsible for powering the vehicle—when high performance is demanded, the front motor is activated to provide more power.
