2011 Ford Edge (July 2011)

If you're interested in the Ford Edge, also consider buying a 2010 model. You could get a big discount simply because the new and improved 2011 Edge is sitting right next to it on the dealer lot. However, you won’t get all the bells and whistles that come with the 2011 Ford Edge.

2011 Ford Flex (July 2011)

The Ford Flex only change for 2011 is the addition of a new Titanium model. It slots in above the previous top-end Limited trim and starts at just over $40,000. That makes it an expensive proposition for a family SUV. However, for the money you get all the bells and whistles the Flex offers, including standard navigation and a power liftgate, plus a bunch of blacked-out exterior features that make the Flex look even more bad-ass than it already does. The Flex Titanium is certainly not your parents’ Country Squire.

The 2011 Ford Flex comes standard with front-wheel drive, while all trims except the base model have available all-wheel drive. It comes in several trims -- the base SE, SEL, Limited and all-new Titanium. Be sure to check out current Ford deals that may be available on a new Flex.

2011 Chrysler 300 (July 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.
