Utility in Luxury Models
While “luxury” evokes visions of sleek Jaguars and gas-hogging H2s, “utility” is generally reserved for rugged-model Jeeps and the dependable Toyota. Two new cars on the market are smearing those lines all over the road – for a hefty price tag.
Completely electric, travels 250 miles on one overnight charge, costs $0.01/mile and produces zero emissions, the Tesla roadster claims to be a second-wave, improved electric car. A combination of utility, performance and luxury, the roadster sounds ideal. But the $100,000 price tag hardly makes it accessible to the masses. Visit www.teslamotors.com for a stylish tutorial.
Any urban dweller knows parallel parking is a necessary evil. Lexus, notorious for luxury, will offer an Advanced Parking Guidance System (APGS) in their ‘07 LS. An automatic parallel parking feature, APGS is aimed at reducing frequency of bumper dings. Check out the flash video for a demo of the complex procedure.
