Family-friendly SUV is minivan alternative Still considered by some to be a crossover SUV that is a taller and heavier version of the Camry, Toyota’s Highlander arrived in North America in 2001 as a fiveseat ute and increased to seven seats in 2004. Marketed as an onroad comfort sports-utility vehicle with unit body construction and independent rear suspension, Highlander is six years into its second generation, which also includes a hybrid version. A cool, comfortable, familyoriented alternative to a minivan, Highlander is a seven-seater that handles more carlike than many mid-size sports-utes and pampers in Camry fashion. The public purchased more than 100,000 units last year and with sales up 15 percent so far this year, Highlander appeals to parents while getting a thumbs up from their kids. And for those who just want a classy, smooth-riding SUV with contemporary architecture and creature comforts, Highlander fills the bill. Last year’s refreshed front fascia and headlights remain, as do chrome accent rocker panel, and signature front grille. The nonhybrid engines for 2012 continue with two choices, a 2.7-liter 4cylinder engine and a 3.5-liter V6, while standard interior features are abundant. H ighlander is constructed with a reinforced unitized body and fits mid-size ute parameters at 188.4 inches long, 75.2 inches wide and 69.3 inches high with roof rails, on a 109.8-inch wheelbase. Weighing in at just over two tons -- 4045 lbs. – Highlander offers a tow capacity of 5000 lbs. and has a ground clearance of 8 inches.

of torque. EPA rated at 18mpg in the city and 24 on the highway for 2WD and 17/city and 22/highway for 4WD, my 4WD Highlander came in at 20.6mpg for a full week of mixed-use driving in which highway miles made up about two-thirds of the examination. The 3.5 responds well and moves the two-ton ute with aplomb. Accelerating as a car would, rather than many of its trucklike SUV peers, Highlander passes aggressively, takes on hills with no hesitation and has enough low-end torque to sprint from zero to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds. My test ride also completed a quarter-mile jaunt in 15.8 seconds.

Fiat 500 Abarth: A different take on a familiar brand By ANN M. JOB For The Associated Press

Auto enthusiasts lusting for something new, exotic and fun to drive but relatively inexpensive have a new choice this year. The four-seat, 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth hatchback arrived in the United States with the legendary sport personality of its forebears — a small body with a distinctly European look, throaty performance sound and an impressive engine for such a lightweight car. In this 2012 rendition, the 500 Abarth is powered by a 160-horsepower, turbo, four-cylinder powerplant that generates 59 more horses and 72 more foot-pounds of torque than the base Fiat 500 four cylinder. The three-door Abarth also attracts attention when dressed in eye-catching Rosso Red or Nero Black paint with accent striping proclaiming “Abarth” on the sides and wearing mirror caps and sinister-looking Hyper Black 17-inch wheels. It’s a small but wicked car that seems so different from milder Fiat 500s that one onlooker disputed that the Abarth test car was a Fiat at all. There was a reason for her confusion. There wasn’t a 500 badge on the exterior of the car anywhere — only Abarth badges and Abarth wording on all four sides. And truthfully, she wasn’t the target buyer. Fiat officials hope to lure more men to the 500 with the Abarth and its racing heritage. In fact, every Abarth buyer gets one day of professional driver instruction at a local racetrack to hone skills and learn the capabilities of the car. All the style, fun and power of the 2012 500 Abarth comes at a starting retail price of $22,700. Note that only a five-speed manual transmission is offered. This starting Abarth price is $6,500 more than a base 2012 Fiat 500, which has a 101-horsepower four cylinder that’s naturally aspirated. But the Abarth’s price is $2,750 less than the starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, of the 2012 Mini Cooper S that has 181-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylin-

By the numbers

2012 Fiat 500 Abarth BASE PRICE: $15,500 for base 500; $17,500 for 500 Sport; $18,500 for 500 Lounge; $19,000 for base 500c; $22,000 for Abarth. PRICE AS TESTED: $26,200. TYPE: Front engine, front-wheeldrive, four-passenger, minicompact hatchback. ENGINE: 1.4-liter, single overhead cam, MultiAir turbocharged, inline four cylinder. MILEAGE: 28 mpg (city), 34 mpg (highway). TOP SPEED: NA. LENGTH: 144.4 inches. WHEELBASE: 90.6 inches. CURB WEIGHT: 2,533 pounds. BUILT AT: Toluca, Mexico.

der engine and six-speed manual transmission. Also competing in the sporty hatchback segment is the 2013 Volkswagen GTI, which starts at $24,790 for a three-door model and has a 200-horsepower, turbocharged four cylinder mated to a six-speed manual. The Abarth beats the others in federal government fuel economy ratings. It is rated at 28 miles per gallon in city driving and 34 mpg on the highway for a combined rating of 31 mpg. In comparison, the Mini Cooper S is rated at a combined 30 mpg and the GTI is rated at just 25 mpg in combined city/highway travel. Abarth, pronounced eh-BART in Europe, is named after European racing great Karl Abarth, who established a race car company with his astrological sign, Scorpio, in its logo. Fiat bought the company, and today, a scorpion remains in the Ab-

A 2012 Fiat Fiat 500 Abarth hatchback. The four-seat, 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth hatchback arrived in the United States with the legendary sport personality of its forebears, a small body with a distinct European look, throaty performance sound and an impressive engine for such a lightweight car. In this 2012 rendition, the 500 Abarth is powered by a 160-horsepower, turbo, four-cylinder powerplant that generates 59 more horses and 72 more foot-pounds of torque than the base Fiat 500 four cylinder. arth badge that’s on the new 500 Abarth. “Small but wicked” has long described Abarth cars. This is a decidedly small car — it’s a mere 12 feet long from bumper to bumper and weighs some 2,500 pounds, which is more than a base Fiat 500 but less than competitors. As an example, the three-door GTI weighs some 500-plus pounds more and is nearly 14 feet long. But where lesser Fiat 500s look cute and Euro-fashionable, the Abarth, albeit with less than 32 inches of rear legroom, can look seriously sporty. The Abarth sits 0.6 inch closer to the pavement than a regular 500, and the front fascia accommodates air intakes for the turbo’s intercoolers. The rear spoiler, at the trailing edge of the roof, is bigger than in other 500s. Inside, every Abarth comes with high-back, front bucket seats that immediately convey “sport”. Pedals are covered by sporty aluminum plates. There’s a turbo boost gauge on the dashboard, and the steering wheel is sporty-small in diameter,

with a flat bottom and beefy spots for hands at the 10 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions. The 1.4-liter, single overhead cam, MultiAir, turbocharged four cylinder is the most powerful in any Fiat 500 in the States. Its deep-throated sounds burst forth at startup and continue during acceleration. Torque peaks at a considerable 170 foot-pounds starting at a low 2,500 rpm and continuing to 4,000 rpm. To get the maximum performance, a driver must push a “Sport” button on the dashboard each time the car is started. This causes an engine control unit to use different engine calibrations. It coaxes drivers, too, through a shift light that’s attentive to the redline. Zero to 60 miles an hour has been clocked at less than 7 seconds. This is not rocket speed, but it felt plenty fast in the little tester, where the grippy Pirelli tires communicated a lot of road surface feel to passengers. The Abarth comes standard with a Torque Transfer Control system that all but eliminates torque steer

in this front-wheel drive car. The five-speed manual in the test car moved through the gears competently, and steering was precise and quick. The Abarth features beefed-up brakes, and shock and other suspension tuning keeps the car in a tight rein. Much safety equipment comes standard on the Abarth, including antilock brakes, hill start assist, electronic stability control, brake assist and seven air bags, one of which is for the driver’s knee to keep the driver positioned behind the steering wheel during a frontal crash. Still, the Abarth earned only three out of five stars in federal government side crash testing and four out of five stars in frontal crash testing. The 2012 Fiat 500 has been the subject of one safety recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported some models came off the assembly line with contaminated brake fluid, which could degrade seals and result in reduced braking power.

Auto Briefs Sporty Chevy Sonic to sell for just under $21,000 DETROIT — General Motors is about to make a sporty version of its Chevrolet Sonic subcompact car. The Sonic RS will start at just under $21,000. It has the same engine as the regular Sonic — a turbocharged 1.4-liter, 138 horsepower four-cylinder. But it gets different gearing for its six-speed manual and automatic transmissions so it has a sportier feel. The RS also comes with four-wheel disc brakes for faster stopping. And its suspension is tuned so it sits lower to the ground and is more stable. GM also is giving the RS a new front grille and fascia, and a rear spoiler. The Sonic is the top-selling subcompact in the U.S. so far this year. Production of the RS starts in October at a factory in Orion Township, Michigan.

Nissan recalling Infiniti SUVs to fix gas gauges DETROIT — Nissan is recalling about 7,800 Infiniti SUVs because the fuel gauges can show gas in the tank when there isn’t any. The recall affects the JX35 from the 2013 model year. A tube inside the gas tank could be in the wrong place. That could prevent a float from dropping as fuel is used, causing an inaccurate reading on the dashboard fuel gauge. The SUVs could run out of gas unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash, says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Nissan will fix the problem for free. Owners will be notified by mail, and repairs are expected to start Sept. 4. The SUVs were built from Feb. 15, 2012 through June 22.

Wednesday at $97.26 per barrel. Oil prices have risen about $8 per barrel since Aug. 1, partly on hopes that the U.S., Europe and China would do more to increase growth in their respective economies. Slower growth cuts into the demand for oil and other energy products. The minutes show that Fed officials spoke with increased urgency about the need to provide more help to the economy unless it improved significantly. But there were no specific details about what steps might be taken or a timeframe for any action. Earlier, a government report showed U.S. crude inventories shrank for a fourth consecutive week. Crude supplies fell by 5.4 million barrels, more than twice the 2 million barrel decline predicted by analysts. Crude inventories totaled 360.7 million barrels as of last week. At the pump, the national average for gasoline fell less than a penny overnight to $3.716 per gallon, according to AAA, Wright Express and the Oil Price Information Service. That’s about a quarter more than a month ago and about 15 cents higher than a year ago. In other trading, Brent crude, which is used to price international varieties of oil, rose 27 cents to end at $114.91 per barrel in London.

Donors pledge $15M to help Detroit rec centers

DETROIT — Detroit Mayor Dave Bing says the financially struggling city has secured $15 million from outside donors to keep 17 recreation centers open. Bing announced his recreation plan Wednesday with a goal to raise $24 million to pay for three years of programming. One donor is Detroit automotive supplier Lear Corp., which has pledged $5 million during a 10-year period. The Detroit Free Press reports the money pledged to the trust can be used only for programming and won’t be part of the general fund. The Detroit News says the city pays about $20 million to operate the centers and aims to cut that to $10 million. It was the message the oil market has Detroit has signed a financial stabilbeen hoping to hear. ity agreement with the state as it tries to Minutes from a July 31-Aug. 1 policy deal with a budget deficit topping $200 meeting suggest the Federal Reserve million. is prepared to take new steps to boost the U.S. economy. Oil rose after the release of the minutes on Wednesday, although the gain was tempered by concerns about Europe’s fragile economy and slower global growth.

Oshkosh Defense to make prototype combat vehicle

a prototype combat vehicle for the U.S. Department of Defense, with hopes of ultimately winning the final contract. Oshkosh Defense will initially get $56 million to build 22 “joint light tactical vehicles” and deliver them within one year. The government will test versions of the vehicle over the next 15 months and decide which company will get the contract. The Wisconsin State Journal reports that if Oshkosh Defense is chosen, it could mean roughly $13.75 billion in Defense Department contracts. The new vehicles are expected to replace Humvees for U.S. ground forces. The prototypes are lighter and have improved technology and protective gear. The contract will not result in new jobs at this time.

GM investing $220M in two plants to build new Cruze

rejected contract concessions. The company produced hardened rawhide for use as gears when it was founded in 1888. In 1913, the name was changed to New Process Gear as it switched to making metal automotive gears.

Bill limits ‘buy here, pay here’ vehicle sales SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California would restrict the operations of “buy here, pay here” auto dealers under a bill approved by the state Senate. AB1447 would prohibit dealers from forcing buyers to pay installments in person and require them to provide buyers with warranties covering the vehicle for at least 30 days or 1,000 miles. The bill also would prohibit dealers from installing tracking devices without the buyer’s consent. Those targeted by the legislation deal primarily in used vehicles and offer their own financing. Sen. Ted Lieu says they charge high interest rates and churn vehicles by constantly repossessing and reselling them. Democratic Sen. Rod Wright says dealers take the precautions because their buyers have a history of defaulting. The Senate passed the bill Thursday 22-14, returning it to the Assembly for final action.

DETROIT — General Motors says it will invest $220 million at two Ohio factories to build the next generation Chevrolet Cruze compact car. The company says the investment in new equipment will preserve more than 5,000 jobs at factories in Lordstown, Ohio, near Youngstown, and Parma near Cleveland. GM says the new Cruze will get fresh styling, a nicer interior and better gas mileage than the version on sale now. The Cruze now gets 35 to 42 miles per gallon on the highway depending on engine and transmission. GM wouldn’t say when production of the new Cruze will start.
