2011 Toyota Tacoma (June 2011)

The 2011 Toyota Tacoma sees a few changes for the new model year. Toyota has shuffled some of its option packages, and restyled the front grille.

2011 Chevrolet Corvette (June 2011)

The 2011 Chevrolet Corvette is a carryover from the previous model year. It’s available in two body styles, coupe and convertible, and a variety of trims -- including the Z06-inspired Grand Sport. High-performance Z06 and ZR1 models are also available, but reviewed separately.




MSRP: $48,950 - $58,600
Invoice: $44,545 - $53,326
MPG: 16 City / 26 Hwy

Purchase Deal

Deal: 1.9% APR for up to 60 months
Car companies don’t usually have to put incentives on their halo cars, but this month, Chevrolet is offering 1.9% financing on the Corvette Coupe. Though the deal doesn’t apply to high-end models like the Z06, Grand Sport or ZR1, the base Corvette offers plenty of summer fun. Don’t pass it by because it’s a coupe, either. With its targa top, the Corvette coupe gives you nearly the same open-air experience as the convertible.

2011 Hyundai Sonata (June 2011)

The Sonata has been completely redesigned for the 2011 model year. It’s available as a bargain-hunter’s GLS model (the only one offered with a stick shift), or a better-equipped Limited edition. A sport-tuned SE model is also available. Reviewers say it’s definitely sportier than other Sonatas, but still not the equal of a Mazda6 or Ford Fusion in the handling department.

MSRP: $19,395 - $25,495
Invoice: $18,593 - $23,847
MPG: 24 City / 35 Hwy

Purchase Deal

Deal: 1.9% APR for up to 36 months
Hyundai is one of the few car companies that’s managed to grow during the recession, and that growth continues based on the strength of its almost totally revamped model line. In May, the Hyundai Sonata was the seventh best-selling car in the U.S., beating out models like the Honda Civic and Toyota Camry. In June, Hyundai is offering the Sonata with 1.9 percent financing for up to 36 months.

2011 Volkswagen Tiguan (June 2011)

The 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan is a 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which is mated to either a six-speed automatic or manual transmission on to the front wheels or to the 4Motion all-wheel drive system.  Fuel economy ratings check in at 18-19 mpg city and 24-26 mpg highway.

The 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan is available in three trims: the S, SE and SEL. Inside, key trim pieces are made of real aluminum, while others feature a chrome finish.  Volkswagen's all-wheel drive system, 4motion, is available on the SE and SEL trims. A CD player and an eight-speaker audio system come standard on the S.  The SE includes higher quality cloth seat skins, heated front seats, a leather steering wheel with audio controls, and an audio system with touch-screen interface and auxiliary inputs.  The Tiguan SEL gets leather seats, upgraded armrests and door trim, and a Dynaudio 300-watt, eight-channel stereo.  A sunroof, iPod cable, backup camera, touch-screen navigation system with 30 GB hard drive, and power sunroof shade are optional, while Bluetooth connectivity is now standard across the board. The S trim starts at about $24,000.

MSRP: $23,720 - $37,390

As consumers flock toward more models with better fuel economy, small SUVs are becoming more popular. So far, 21.4 percent more small SUVs have been sold in 2011 compared to this time in 2010. That means that car companies don’t have to offer a lot of incentives on their small SUVs and crossovers, but in June VW is offering zero-percent financing for up to 60 months on a new Tiguan. That beats the 1.9 percent financing Honda is offering on the CR-V, and the Tiguan is more fun to drive.

2011 Chrysler 300 (June 2011)

The 2011 Chrysler 300 is set to battle its affordable large car competition with four distinct trim levels: base, Limited 300C rear-wheel drive, and 300C all-wheel drive. The base 300 starts at just under $28,000 after you tack on destination charges, and comes with Chrysler’s new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine. Standard features include automatic headlamps, LED-illuminated “C” shaped daytime running lights, dual exhaust, keyless entry with push-button start, steering wheel audio controls and a Uconnect 8.4 inch touchscreen infotainment system with an auxiliary input jack, Sirius Satellite Radio and USB port.

Opt for the Limited trim, and you’ll add about $4,000 to the bottom line, as well as leather upholstery with heated seats, Bluetooth, a backup camera, 18-inch wheels and an upgraded sound system. Those looking for V8 power will need to opt for the 300C, which starts at just under $39,000. Upgrading to the C trim adds the sportier Touring suspension, navigation, bigger brakes and of course the 363-horsepower HEMI V8. Additionally, 300C models come with the luxury package, adding leather, wood trim, heated rear seats and heated/cooled cupholders.

Those seeking all-wheel drive will have to opt for the top-of-the-line 300C AWD model, as the V6 is currently only available in rear-wheel drive configurations. Starting at just over $41,000, the 300C AWD features a unique all-wheel drive system, which uses only the rear wheels until the front ones are needed. Chrysler claims this system offers a five-percent gain in fuel economy when compared to cars that do not employ a similar system.
