2012 Lexus, Jaguar and Porsche to have some great July 4th deals on ride from JD Powers survey.
Just in time for the next big holiday car buying weekend, the JD POWERS initial quality scoring has put 2012 Lexus, Porsche and Jaguar at the top. Porsche and Jaguar actually tied for second-place.
Jaguar stands to benefit the most from this announcement, as luxury car buyers have always fawned over the styling and appointments, features and ride of the English coach maker, only to hesitate over quality.
Fast forward to the new Jaguar 2.0.12., now owned by TATA Motors, and run by a legion of ex-pat PORSCHE management known for upholding the rigorous demands for perfection known to German engineering. A refreshing comfort backed-up by a free service coverage to match the warranty and now a badge of honor from an objective, third-party industry review on quality. Truer to the sense of objective than a Consumer Reports review, this information is garnered from the mouths of owners driving their cars on a daily basis.
The beauty of this is acknowledgement is the timing. Pent-up demand for new models and luxury features is bubbling as the economy turns, yet pressure on the dollar have made imports more expensive the past few years. Jaguar, in a much touted marketing campaign, is pouring dollars into the US with aggressive advertising aimed at the mid-market of 35+ consumers interested in driving something different, having owned the BMW 335’s, Mercedes C300 and Lexus ES350’s, but looking for prices under $60k. The current rendition of the XF starts at $ 53750, however a new 6cyl version is due this summer, along with an AWD. The F-type, herald in Cars magazine as a rival to the Porsche, is arriving 2013 as a coupe and smaller sexier 6cyl version of the XK Convertible.
JULY 4TH specials on the Jaguar are clearly hitting the mark, while supplies last.
Dealers are pitching
a $549.00 a month lease payment on the XF against $650.00 and up for competitors in the MB and BMW luxury sedan market, with less standard and option available content. The 2012 production of all new car models is over, and many have started shipping 2013’s with no discounts or rebates, so those looking for a deal this summer car buying season should put the peddle to the metal and grab a lease deal while they last.
PORSCHE does it again 2013 Boxster WOWS the car crowd.
Porsche reveals the much-touted 2013 Boxster this month with dealer launch parties slated to start June 26th around the country. An invite will be required to these swanky affairs, as
Porsche dealers have already sold most of their first allotment months ago. However, the new Boxster is truly a redesign from chassis up and convertible lovers will drool for the opportunity to drive one, if not add their name to the order list for a lovely Indian summer getaway. Check with your local dealer to snag an invite or an appointment to test-drive.
LEXUS continues their reign on top spot.
The GS350 got it started and now the 2013 RX is on the lot. Watch for dealers to offer huge discounts on the 2012 model RX350 to make room for more product to come.
This year car makers are pushing product forward in an attempt to grab buyers bucks in the heat of the selling season. holiday sales events are typically benchmarks for the sales team and this year is shaping up to hit the 14.9 million mark nationally.
