Victoria Beckham Edition Range Rover Evoque to Receive a Posh Makeover

Originally launched in September of 2011, the Range Rover Evoque has earned over 100 awards internationally for its impeccable styling and luxury features. The vehicle’s widespread success has inspired the Land Rover brand to create a special edition Range Rover Evoque designed by Victoria Beckham, one of Britain’s most admired fashion icons. GOAutoPlus.com is home to Range Rover dealerships in Wisconsin, and looks forward to seeing the end result of the special edition Evoque.

Gerry McGovern will lead the design of the all-new Evoque. Beckham will collaborate with McGovern to create a vehicle packed with style, sophistication and luxury. The hope is to launch a vehicle that appeals to customers worldwide who appreciate and crave the British sensibility.

The Evoque is scheduled to be built at the Halewood manufacturer in Liverpool. The vehicle will be hand-finished by Land Rover’s fully capable “Engineered To Order” (ETO) division. Design elements include the first-ever hand-finished matte paint in a rich grey color. Glossy black finishes contrast the body paint on the roof, hood vents, side panels and wheels. Luxury is taken to the next level with stunning rose-gold accent features and 20-inch black alloy wheels.

The vehicle’s decadent exterior is matched in luxury due in large part to its interior. Vintage tan leather covers the Evoque’s seats, doors, armrests and center storage area. Understated details such as the center console and soft black detailing are intentionally added to balance the full luxury throughout the car.

High-tech features will give the Evoque an added amount of functionality and class. A touch-screen interface is packed with technology designed to improve the driver’s ride and connectivity.  The vehicle will maintain its original performance capabilities.

Nobel Peach Prize Winners Driven by Fleet of Jeeps at World Summit

Today is the final day of the 2012 World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates in Chicago. The summit took place from April 23-25, and several 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs transported the Nobel Peace Laureates. Jeep was the “Official Transportation Sponsor” of the summit, playing a different role than its original war vehicle heritage. GOAutoPlus.com is a top resource for Jeep dealers in Wisconsin, and is proud to offer a variety of Jeep vehicles.

The Jeep Brand stated its pride to support the Nobel Peace Laureates and their efforts to create a more peaceful, understanding and active world. Jeep vehicles were used for the Permanent Secretariat of Nobel Peace Laureates as well as those who organized the summit.

Today, Olivier Francois, Chrysler Group’s Chief Marketing Officer, presented the “2012 Man of Peace Award” with a video honoring Sean Penn, actor, founder and CEO of the Haitian Relief Organization. Penn was recognized for his continued dedication and support of victims devastated by the 2010 Haiti earthquake destruction.

This year’s summit, hosted in Chicago, is in its 12^th year of recognizing individuals who continue to strive for human rights, youth participation and world peace. This year’s theme was “Speak Up, Speak Out for Freedom and Rights,” which focused on the previously mentioned concerns.

Jeep was an ideal brand to represent the World Summit because of its iconic history and consistent commitment to creating vehicles that help drivers accomplish difficult tasks with security and confidence. The Grand Cherokee is an icon of hard work and determination, two qualities necessary in creating a more peaceful and active world.

General Motors to Discontinue Chevy Avalanche After 12 Years on Market

After a rocky 12 years on the market, the Chevrolet Avalanche will no longer be produced after the 2013 model year. Initially sold in 2001, the SUV has had a rollercoaster-like success pattern that will ultimately end with its discontinuation. GOAutoPlus.com is a premier resource for Chevy dealerships in Wisconsin, and is disappointed to see the Avalanche reach its final year in production.

After failing sales six years in a row because of the increase in gas prices, the Avalanche had a tough go until 2010. Sales finally rebounded for the SUV until 2011. With the development of lighter-weight sports utility vehicles, cars like the Avalanche have either needed to live up to fuel-saving technology or back out gracefully- the latter being the Avalanche’s choice.

Regardless of the Avalanche’s disappointing departure, owners of the vehicle continue to support their purchase. General Motors reported that Avalanche owners are repeat purchasers of the SUV. Either the drivers purchased newer versions of it or simply modified preexisting versions because of their contentment with it.

In 2011, GM’s Avalanche crew-cab pickup trucks accounted for 65% of the full-size truck division. However, the vehicle made up only 5.7% of the Silao, Mexico plant’s first quarter output. Business-wise, producing the Avalanche was not a fiscally responsible choice. Instead, the Silao plant will create the newest versions of Silverado and Sierra pickup trucks.

To end its career with a bang, the Avalanche will be made into a special edition model. The 2013 Black Diamond Avalanche will be customizable and will be equipped with a leather-bound book revisiting the SUV’s valiant history. Stacked with a variety of technological and performance amenities, the all-new Avalanche will feature all of its best elements to celebrate its time in the auto industry.

Volkswagen Premiers All-New Alltrack Concept at 2012 New York Auto Show

At the 2012 New York Auto Show, car enthusiasts expected to see a variety of innovative vehicles and concepts. Volkswagen made sure to live up to everyone’s expectations with its Alltrack Concept. Although it isn’t intended to sell in the U.S., the automaker wanted to assess reaction for the concept. GOAutoPlus.com, a premier resource for multiple Volkswagen dealers in Wisconsin, awaits details on the all-new concept.

Volkswagen has found a way to offer off-road capability without sacrificing efficiency and environmental consciousness. The Alltrack Concept is not the auto industry’s typical wagon – it’s the perfect balance between a passenger vehicle and an SUV. The concept is a comfortable ride equipped with the ability to take on rugged terrain.

A steel guard plate supports the Alltrack’s engine, and helps protect the exhaust system, gearbox, hoses and other features from damage when driving through rugged driving conditions. A 2.0-liter TDI Clean Diesel engine is featured in the concept to produce up to 140 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, 4Motion all-wheel-drive and off-road driving technology, the Alltrack is a dynamic and rugged ride.

Other features such as the Hill Descent Assist program, which adapts vehicle speed during steep descents, and the off-road program, which adjusts safety settings during tough driving conditions, all contribute to the athletic and capable Alltrack Concept.

The automaker has not made any plans to produce the Alltrack for use in the United States; however, if reactions are in favor of the concept at this year’s New York Auto Show, Volkswagen may create a model in the future based on the Alltrack.
