Go-Cars for the New Year
With an MSRP just under $74K, the mid-size BMW 650i coupe’s aggressive lines and lowslung kidney grille project a dynamic spirit and a compelling sense of style. In the cockpit, feel the heart-pounding launch to 60 mph in a mere 5.3 seconds, fired by a 4.8L V8 engine and controlled by your choice of three precise 6-speed transmissions. The 650i doesn’t skimp on the luxurious necessities, with Dakota leather upholstery and door trim, pearl-gloss finish interior trim, 8-way power front seats with 2-way manual headrest, 3-setting memory system for driver’s seat, side-view mirrors, and steering wheel position, and 4-way power lumbar support for front seats.
The Audi Q7 is a landmark of on-road, off-road beauty and performance. It’s refined, yet offers uncompromising style coupled with finely-tuned power and advanced technology. With room enough to comfortably seat seven, the Audi Q7, with its 350 hp 4.2 liter engine and patented Quattro all-wheel drive, quickly vaults you to the pinnacle of luxurious styling and versatile, visceral performance. The Q7 4.2 Premium model starts around $60K with a wealth of standard features, including a rear view camera with acoustic parking. There’s flat-folding second and third rows of seating, an extra-wide loading area, and a power tailgate all providing up to an astonishing 28 seating and loading configurations. None of these features compromises safety, however. The Audi Q7 received NHTSA five-star ratings for driver and passenger protection in frontal crash tests, and five-star ratings for front and rear passenger protection in side impact crash tests. It also received a roll-over rating of four stars.
