SUN MOTOR CARS/PORSCHE RETURNS AS TITLE SPONSOR FOR SECOND ANNUAL MILLE FOR MS

Unique Sports Car Event & Rally October 18-19 Raises Money for MS Society, Sponsors Can Experience Famed Porsche Driving School.

MECHANICSBURG, PA (August 20, 2013) – Start your engines! The Mille for MS road rally returns October 18-19, along with Sun Motor Cars/ Porsche as the title sponsor, and an opportunity for car enthusiasts to live out their automotive fantasy with a local appearance by the famed Porsche Sport Driving School.

The Mille for MS, Presented by Porsche, is patterned after Italy’s Mille Miglia, and starts from Sun Motors’ Porsche dealership off the Carlisle Pike in Mechanicsburg early on Saturday October 19th.

The rally is open to owners of pre-war, vintage (1962 and older) and modern sports cars, as well as other exotic cars of all makes and models.

Last year’s inaugural event exceeded the goal of 50 cars by attracting 70 drivers and raising nearly $25,000 for the Central PA Chapter of the MS Society.

This year’s event includes a new route, as well as new features and pit stop locations. Sponsors have a chance to pilot the latest Porsche models on the Sun Motors test track with instructors from the Porsche Sport Driving School.

On Friday evening there will be a reception, silent auction, and a “concours”-style display of all participating cars. During this time, members of the

public will be able to vote for their favorite car in exchange for a contribution to MS. On Saturday, the rally continues with a day-long course along 100-150 miles of public roads, making pit stops at Ski Roundtop and the Carlisle Fairgrounds, and ending at the formal Italian gardens of Felicita Mountain Resort & Spa, north of Harrisburg.The new route will take drivers through the Central Pennsylvania countryside, including Gettysburg, Carlisle and Harrisburg, rallying at various checkpoints.

“We were proud to be a part of the inaugural Mille, and look forward to an even greater event this year,” said Sun Motors/Porsche General Manager Steve Baun.“Sports car owners are a unique breed, and this is a unique event. It’s not your typical fundraiser.

What it is, is a chance to help find a cure for MS and do what you love to do – drive.”

Organizers stress that the Mille for MS is not a race, but a road rally where participants drive on public roads, reaching various checkpoints in times allotted, and following all local and state speed limits and other regulations.The goal is to reach the checkpoints and finish as near to the allotted time window as possible. Navigators ride along with the

drivers to remind them of speed limits and directions throughout the route.

“Last year’s event exceeded everyone’s expectations,” said Mille chairman Michael Pavone,“and we actually had to turn drivers away. Personally, I was proud of the huge variety of machines represented, including American muscle, European, classics, and a number of exotics.

Everyone had a great time, but I think the best compliment we received was from a participant who said that it looked like a bag of ‘adult’ Skittles had exploded on the parking lot! If you appreciate fine road machines, this is a great way to spend a Friday evening and a Saturday drive – all in support of finding a cure for MS.” For more information, sponsorship opportunities, or to register as a participant, visit www.milleforMS.com or contact Jennifer Portzline at 717-234-888 717-234-8886.

CX-5 is a hot Mazda crossover SUV A look at cars

you won’t be seeing in 2014

By Ann M. Job Associated Press In its first year, the Mazda CX-5 crossover sport utility vehicle won over auto critics with its driver-pleasing handling, comfortable interior and sporty looks.

Now in its second model year, the five-passenger CX-5 promises to garner more compliments, thanks to a more powerful, but still fuel-efficient, engine that puts zoom-zoom into the compact SUV. New for 2014, the 2.5-liter, double overhead cam, SkyActiv-G four cylinder has a larger displacement than the original 2-liter four cylinder and generates 184 horsepower, an increase of 29 over last year’s sole engine. Its horsepower is higher than the four cylinder in the 2014 Toyota RAV4 and even one of the turbo engines offered in the 2014 Ford Escape SUV. The new Mazda engine also delivers 185 footpounds of torque at 3,250 rpm, which compares with 150 foot-pounds of torque at 4,000 rpm in the CX5’s smaller engine and the RAV4’s 172 foot-pounds at 4,100 rpm.

The intriguing part is that federal government fuel economy ratings for the front-wheel drive CX-5 with the more powerful engine still are near the top of the non-hybrid, gasolinepowered, compact crossover class: 25 miles per gallon in city driving and 32 mpg on the highway.

Add some new features for 2014 and the fact the CX-5 is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports magazine, and it’s no wonder the CX5 is Mazda’s second bestselling vehicle in America.

In fact, the 54,388 U.S. sales so far this calendar year are more than double the CX5 sales from last year at this time.

The CX-5 still offers a sixspeed manual, though it is only with the smaller, 2-liter engine that remains in the lineup.

All told, the 2014 CX5 remains an affordable and noteworthy choice for smaller SUV shoppers.

Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $22,190 for a base, 2014 CX-5 Sport with frontwheel drive and six-speed manual transmission.

The lowest starting retail price for a base, 2014 CX-5 Sport with six-speed automatic transmission is $23,590, or $1,400 more.

The lowest starting MSRP, including destination charge, for a 2014 CX-5 with all-wheel drive is $24,840.

The only transmission available with all-wheel drive is the six-speed automatic.

All base models, which are Sport trim, have the base, 155-horsepower, 2-liter four cylinder.

Along with new car announcements comes a list of canceled models

Buyers wanting the new, 2.5-liter four cylinder must move up to a 2014 CX-5 Touring or Grand Touring model. Starting retail price for a 2014 CX-5 Touring FWD is $25,610, while a Touring model with all-wheel drive starts at $26,860.

The base CX-5 prices undercut, just a bit, some competitors, such as the 2014 Toyota RAV4, which has a starting retail price, including destination charge, of $24,160 for a front-wheel drive model with 176horsepower four cylinder and automatic transmission. The starting retail price of the 2014 CX-5 is just a bit more than the $22,345 for a 2014 Ford Escape with 168horsepower four cylinder, automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.

The test CX-5 was a topof-the-line Grand Touring model with all-wheel drive, plus the optional technology package that added a TomTom navigation system, high-intensity-discharge headlamps and advanced keyless entry, among other things. As a result, the test vehicle’s window sticker price was just over $32,000.

Drivers can notice quickly the difference between the smaller four cylinder and the new one in the CX-5.

The higher-powered CX-5 accelerates more eagerly and moves in sprightly fashion,

due in part to the vehicle’s impressive low weight that Mazda engineers carefully honed.

The base CX-5 weighs less than 3,200 pounds, or about the same as a base, 2014 Honda Accord car. Even the CX-5 Grand Touring model with the slightly larger engine and front wheel drive weighs less than the top, 2014 Accord LX sedan.

Power in the CX-5 came on smoothly and steadily through the automatic transmission. While there were some straining sounds from the four cylinder when the SUV was pressed to pass other vehicles on long, uphill highway stretches in mountain country, the performance was far better than what comes from the smaller engine.

Fuel economy was a surprising 25.5 mpg, which is just below the combined city/highway mileage of 26 mpg estimated by the federal government. This translated into a travel range of 390 miles in the all-wheel drive model, which had a 15.3-gallon fuel tank. Regular unleaded gasoline is all that’s needed.

Note that the impact of the larger four banger on fuel economy is meager, as it garners 25/32-mpg federal fuel economy ratings in the front-wheel drive CX-5 vs. the 26/32-mpg ratings for a front-wheel drive CX-5 with

the smaller engine.

The test CX-5 was stable in curves and corners, with little body lean exhibited.

The driver became increasingly confident in making sharp maneuvers, since the SUV rode like it was kept tightly connected to the road and responsive to steering inputs.

The engaging experience for the driver, who, like other SUV drivers, sits a good distance above the pavement, helps set the CX-5 apart.

Simply, there are plenty of crossover SUVs with a more plush, more isolated-fromthe-road ride, and they have quieter interiors, too, than the CX-5. But this Mazda is agile, fun and relatively spunky, particularly for drivers who prefer a sporty car ride.

The CX-5 interior isn’t as stylized as those of some other vehicles, such as the Ford Escape. But it’s handsome and functional.

The 5.8-inch display screen in the middle of the dashboard isn’t as large as those in some Toyotas, for example, and the TomTom nav is OK but not exceptional in its graphics.

The CX-5 seats, leathertrimmed in the test vehicle, were supportive on lengthy drives, and back-seat legroom of 39.3 inches was unexpectedly generous.

Towing capacity is 2,000 pounds.

7 cars get top rating in high-tech safety test Associated Press N EW YO R K — Seve n midsize vehicles earned the top rating in a new insurance industry test of hightech safety features designed to prevent front-end collisions.

The Cadillac ATS and SRX, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Mercedes C-Class and Volvo S60 and XC60 won “superior” ratings in tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The institute tested 74 midsize cars and SUVs from the model years 2013 and 2014. Those equipped with front collision-warning and automatic braking systems generally scored better. The systems can either warn the driver or automatically stop the car if they sense a potential collision.

The institute IIHS, a nonprofit research group funded by insurance companies, has pushed federal regulators and automakers to require or offer as an option new safety systems such as antilock brakes. The group also is pushing automakers to bolster front-end crash resistance.

Associated Press

The 2013 Cadillac ATS is one of seven midsize vehicles that earned the top rating in a new insurance industry test of high-tech safety features designed to prevent front-end collisions Automakers have been offering the frontal-crash systems on more and more models as the price of the technology falls. The systems use radar, cameras, ultrasonic sensors and computers to spot objects in front of cars and determine if a collision is possible. A driver may be warned to take action, or the system may apply the brakes itself.

The IIHS said its data in-

stitute has determined that the devices help drivers avoid frontal crashes, but even so, auto insurance companies generally aren’t offering discounts for people who buy them.

Insurance companies say that as the systems become more popular in certain models, insurance claims will decline. Rates on those models will be discounted.

In the tests, six other

cars got second-best “advanced” ratings, while 25 received “basic” ratings.

Another 36 got no rating because they didn’t have the systems or their systems didn’t meet the institute’s standards.

The institute says the tests will help people decide which features to buy and encourage automakers to adopt the new technology faster.

Every fall, the new-car season brings fresh models and industrywide optimism, but it’s also the time when automakers are forced to acknowledge what’s not selling as discontinued models disappear from company websites and dealership lots.

With few exceptions, a canceled car is a slow-selling car.

Some vehicles fail to meet expectations from the very start. Many more lose their relevance over time. It’s a rare automobile that is introduced with a firm expiration date in mind.

While models like the BMW M3 and the Volkswagen Golf R are skipping 2014 because of redesigns, the vehicles presented here are truly dead. Don’t expect to see new models wearing these badges anytime soon, if ever:

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and ZR1

The new 2014 Corvette Stingray has sent the highperformance variants on sabbatical. While the Z06 and ZR1 had distinct personalities, rumors suggest that Chevrolet’s succession plan calls for a single car to replace the duo. Whether it will be closer in spirit to the brutal, track-ready Z06 or the sophisticated six-figure ZR1 remains to be seen.

Fisker Karma

Fisker lived and died by an Energy Department loan intended to promote the development and production of its plug-in-hybrid technology. But the Karma’s lasting contribution had nothing to do with batteries or electric motors.

Rather, Henrik Fisker, the designer who founded the company, taught the establishment how to create a truly beautiful four-door car.

Buyers wanting the new, 2.5-liter four cylinder must move up to a 2014 CX-5 Touring or Grand Touring model. Starting retail price for a 2014 CX-5 Touring FWD is $25,610, while a Touring model with all-wheel drive starts at $26,860.

The base CX-5 prices undercut, just a bit, some competitors, such as the 2014 Toyota RAV4, which has a starting retail price, including destination charge, of $24,160 for a front-wheel drive model with 176horsepower four cylinder and automatic transmission. The starting retail price of the 2014 CX-5 is just a bit more than the $22,345 for a 2014 Ford Escape with 168horsepower four cylinder, automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.

The test CX-5 was a topof-the-line Grand Touring model with all-wheel drive, plus the optional technology package that added a TomTom navigation system, high-intensity-discharge headlamps and advanced keyless entry, among other things. As a result, the test vehicle’s window sticker price was just over $32,000.

Drivers can notice quickly the difference between the smaller four cylinder and the new one in the CX-5.

The higher-powered CX-5 accelerates more eagerly and moves in sprightly fashion,

due in part to the vehicle’s impressive low weight that Mazda engineers carefully honed.

The base CX-5 weighs less than 3,200 pounds, or about the same as a base, 2014 Honda Accord car. Even the CX-5 Grand Touring model with the slightly larger engine and front wheel drive weighs less than the top, 2014 Accord LX sedan.

Power in the CX-5 came on smoothly and steadily through the automatic transmission. While there were some straining sounds from the four cylinder when the SUV was pressed to pass other vehicles on long, uphill highway stretches in mountain country, the performance was far better than what comes from the smaller engine.

Fuel economy was a surprising 25.5 mpg, which is just below the combined city/highway mileage of 26 mpg estimated by the federal government. This translated into a travel range of 390 miles in the all-wheel drive model, which had a 15.3-gallon fuel tank. Regular unleaded gasoline is all that’s needed.

Note that the impact of the larger four banger on fuel economy is meager, as it garners 25/32-mpg federal fuel economy ratings in the front-wheel drive CX-5 vs. the 26/32-mpg ratings for a front-wheel drive CX-5 with

the smaller engine.

The test CX-5 was stable in curves and corners, with little body lean exhibited.

The driver became increasingly confident in making sharp maneuvers, since the SUV rode like it was kept tightly connected to the road and responsive to steering inputs.

The engaging experience for the driver, who, like other SUV drivers, sits a good distance above the pavement, helps set the CX-5 apart.

Simply, there are plenty of crossover SUVs with a more plush, more isolated-fromthe-road ride, and they have quieter interiors, too, than the CX-5. But this Mazda is agile, fun and relatively spunky, particularly for drivers who prefer a sporty car ride.

The CX-5 interior isn’t as stylized as those of some other vehicles, such as the Ford Escape. But it’s handsome and functional.

The 5.8-inch display screen in the middle of the dashboard isn’t as large as those in some Toyotas, for example, and the TomTom nav is OK but not exceptional in its graphics.

The CX-5 seats, leathertrimmed in the test vehicle, were supportive on lengthy drives, and back-seat legroom of 39.3 inches was unexpectedly generous.

Towing capacity is 2,000 pounds.

7 cars get top rating in high-tech safety test Associated Press N EW YO R K — Seve n midsize vehicles earned the top rating in a new insurance industry test of hightech safety features designed to prevent front-end collisions.

The Cadillac ATS and SRX, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Mercedes C-Class and Volvo S60 and XC60 won “superior” ratings in tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The institute tested 74 midsize cars and SUVs from the model years 2013 and 2014. Those equipped with front collision-warning and automatic braking systems generally scored better. The systems can either warn the driver or automatically stop the car if they sense a potential collision.

The institute IIHS, a nonprofit research group funded by insurance companies, has pushed federal regulators and automakers to require or offer as an option new safety systems such as antilock brakes. The group also is pushing automakers to bolster front-end crash resistance.

Associated Press

The 2013 Cadillac ATS is one of seven midsize vehicles that earned the top rating in a new insurance industry test of high-tech safety features designed to prevent front-end collisions Automakers have been offering the frontal-crash systems on more and more models as the price of the technology falls. The systems use radar, cameras, ultrasonic sensors and computers to spot objects in front of cars and determine if a collision is possible. A driver may be warned to take action, or the system may apply the brakes itself.

The IIHS said its data in-

stitute has determined that the devices help drivers avoid frontal crashes, but even so, auto insurance companies generally aren’t offering discounts for people who buy them.

Insurance companies say that as the systems become more popular in certain models, insurance claims will decline. Rates on those models will be discounted.

In the tests, six other

cars got second-best “advanced” ratings, while 25 received “basic” ratings.

Another 36 got no rating because they didn’t have the systems or their systems didn’t meet the institute’s standards.

The institute says the tests will help people decide which features to buy and encourage automakers to adopt the new technology faster.

Every fall, the new-car season brings fresh models and industrywide optimism, but it’s also the time when automakers are forced to acknowledge what’s not selling as discontinued models disappear from company websites and dealership lots.

With few exceptions, a canceled car is a slow-selling car.

Some vehicles fail to meet expectations from the very start. Many more lose their relevance over time. It’s a rare automobile that is introduced with a firm expiration date in mind.

While models like the BMW M3 and the Volkswagen Golf R are skipping 2014 because of redesigns, the vehicles presented here are truly dead. Don’t expect to see new models wearing these badges anytime soon, if ever:

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and ZR1

The new 2014 Corvette Stingray has sent the highperformance variants on sabbatical. While the Z06 and ZR1 had distinct personalities, rumors suggest that Chevrolet’s succession plan calls for a single car to replace the duo. Whether it will be closer in spirit to the brutal, track-ready Z06 or the sophisticated six-figure ZR1 remains to be seen.

Fisker Karma

Fisker lived and died by an Energy Department loan intended to promote the development and production of its plug-in-hybrid technology. But the Karma’s lasting contribution had nothing to do with batteries or electric motors.

Rather, Henrik Fisker, the designer who founded the company, taught the establishment how to create a truly beautiful four-door car.

Ford Mustang Boss 302

The Boss’ fate was sealed before it even went on sale: Ford promised to sell this rowdy special-edition Mustang for just two years.

Its throwback name evoked the muscle car’s glory days Acura ZDX while its 302-cubic-inch The genre-bending ZDX V-8 was a modern 444combined the ride height horsepower dynamo. of an SUV, the roofline of a coupe and the four doors of Nissan Altima Coupe It’s a small pool of car a sedan.

The result was powerful and nimble enough to transform the humble TT — its underlying platform is shared with the Volkswagen Golf — into a legitimate Porsche rival.

Toyota Matrix

Toyota’s small hatchback should be remembered as a survivor. When General Motors shuttered the Pontiac brand in 2009, Toyota lost the mechanical twin (the Pontiac Vibe) that gave the Matrix scale and the experimental joint manufacturing plant where both cars were built. Rather than Cadillac Escalade EXT call it quits, Toyota relocated the tooling to CamOutward appearances bridge, Ontario, and gave suggest that the EXT rode the Matrix another four on four standard tires, but years of life. what really carried this reskinned Chevrolet Ava- Volvo C30 lanche was the Escalade For conservative Volvo, name.
