Don't be Dumb: Drive a Smart Car!


In a commendable last ditch effort to improve sales, Smart USA has a new Facebook campaign that blatantly points out the discrepancies between being smart and being dumb.  No one is going to say that driving a 2009 Hyundai Sonata is a dumb move by any means, but Smart wants you to realize that their efficient and non-wasteful ways are the example that the rest of us need to be following.  You local Honda Dealer Virginia has plenty of fuel efficient cars that no one can criticize as being gas guzzlers, and it is the gas guzzlers of the world that Smart is targeting.  When you consider that brands like Woodbridge Nissan are doing more than their fair share at trying to be green with their automobile designs, it is slightly more than infuriating to hear someone say they get around 14 mpg, "but that's good for a truck."  Smart would call that statement dumb and they are correct!

As far as sales go right now, Smart USA has only sold 83,000 units across the globe, which equates to a decline of 14.9%.  Some analysts might argue that taking such an opinionated stance on marketing (calling people dumb) might not be the smartest tactic to welcome buyers through their front doors, but we think it is a great way to get your attention!  The Facebook advertising post doesn't just poke fun at people who drive gas guzzlers; it shines a light on how wasteful Americans have become with their purchase habits.  You would think that given the current economic turmoils that people would be a bit more thrifty with their spending.

The advertisers at Smart point out that their cute little cars are safe and get great gas mileage.  They take up less room in parking lots and less room on highways.  If more people were to drive the Smart ForTwo, the world would likely be a better place.  By driving such large vehicles we have the need to fill them up with stuff.  All that stuff means we spend more money.  It really is a viscous cycle, and it is a cycle that Smart wants to see broken.  So, to sum it all up; don't be dumb, choose Smart!

Lexus Luxury Hybrid Hatchback


When you think of hybrid cars you probably think of a Prius, which can be found at Danvers Toyota Dealerships. The hybrid world will never match the original popularity and success of the Prius, just like no one can really compete with the success of the iPod compared to other MP3 players. Lexus is trying their hand once again at a luxury hybrid car that people will want to buy, and after the mild sales of their Lexus HS 250h, it won’t be too difficult to improve upon. You can find great deals at Master Automotive, but you will need to visit a certified Lexus dealership to catch a glimpse of the brand new 2011 Lexus CT 200h. This new hybrid luxury car might be able to compete with the electric vehicles being released at Salisbury Pohanka Nissan.

The exact pricing of the Lexus CT hasn’t been released yet, but there are estimates it will be in the $30,000 range. The vehicle weighs in at 3,130 pounds which is lighter than the HS but still a little heavier than the Prius. The EPA estimates that you can get 42 mpg around town and 41 mpg on the highway. The CT offers the EV mode, just like the Prius, which allows you to operate in solely electric power at speeds up to 23mph. The list of standard features is handsome like we would expect and the options could likely push you into the $40,000 range.

The 2011 Lexus CT 200h gives drivers the choice of how their hybrid powertrain will perform. The Normal mode is going to give you a typical hybrid driving experience and take advantage of the same engine set up that you find in the Prius. Drivers can switch into Sport mode, which is still fuel efficient but changes the suspension and steering components, making the CT super fun to drive. Lastly, there is Eco driving mode. This is how you will get the best fuel economy out of your cute hatchback luxury hybrid car.
