2011 Nissan Maxima SV

Today I'm taking another plunge into the pool of new cars, and lemme tell you, it is a fruit punch pool (translate that how you will). This car may be a few years old, but it's still as new as the day it first came out of the factory and with all the cool features it holds, you'd be a fool to not pick it up. The 2011 Nissan Maxima SV is here and oh so spiffy.

Starting with the ocean gray exterior, this mid-size sedan has all sorts of stuff going for it. A rear spoiler, white stripes running down the beltline, and a distinctly fierce grille make this puppy stand out. A mighty 3.5L V6 means you have all sorts of horses pulling this vehicle down the road (if you're wondering, they're Clydesdales. Yeah.).

The real joy of this sports sedan is the interior. Sleek black leather seats and a leather wrapped steering wheel greet you as you climb inside. Sunlight spills through the power moonroof and as you get your bearing inside this beast you know you're riding in ultimate style. The navigation system presented to you on the color display vividly shows you how lost you are on the road, and the RearView Monitor in the back shows you how close you are to the neighbor kid's stupid bike that is always unceremoniously parked in your driveway for some reason.

You could literally spend all day in this Maxima, it's THAT fun and comfortable. You'll get more than an envious looks; you'll have some random wife beating her husband for getting her a brand new Volkswagen Golf instead of this hot ride (Not saying anything bad about Golfs) (or VW) (I love german cars!). So don't let some spontaenous housewife's rage be delayed any longer! Come on into LaFontaine Nissan today and speak to Bobby about acquiring this hot piece of steel.

2011 Ford Fiesta Sedan SE

Arriba! Hola! Mira este hermosa auto! (the last one is google translate spanish for "look at this beautiful car!") With all this botched Spanish out of the way let's get down to business: the 2011 Ford Fiesta Sedan SE is ready to party on out of this lot, all the way home to you--that's a lot of partying!

This car was designed with the word "fun" in mind. Everything from the subcompact design to the enjoyable driving experience to the name was created to perpetuate this notion of "woooooooo!" and "yeee-haw!" It has a four cylinder so that you can keep partying longer without trips to the gas station, and with all season tires you won't have to worry about putting the fiesta (get it, cuz it's spanish for party) on hold just because of a little snow.

The interior of the Ford Fiesta is very stylish, with a split wing designed radio and sleek silver and metallic color schemes running rampant. Crank up the volume on the incredible sound system and you'll be wondering how so much ooom-pah-pah could fit into so tiny a vehicle; the phrase "good things come in small packages" comes to mind here.

Take this to the bonfire, or to the movies. Drive it to the red carpet should you be so lucky to receive an invitation; and when you're driving behind the wheel of a 2011 Ford Fiesta Sedan SE, you just may very well get one (Ryan Gosling LOOOOOVES to party). Come on down to LaFontaine Nissan today and speak to Bobby Lundwall about starting your party today. Ole!

2012 Nissan 370Z

This time around I'm moving from used cars to some of the new Nissan vehicles we primarily do business with here at LaFontaine Nissan. My last post mentioned the warm weather and how everyone loves a good convertible ride with the sun out and the wind in your hair and the bugs in your teeth and the windshield wiper fluid some jackwagon in front of you unceremoniously dumped into your mouth......having said that, it is my great pleasure to showcase the 2012 Nissan 370Z Coupe.

One of Nissan's oldest models, the Z-line of vehicles got a complete remodel a few years ago and now we are blessed with the swanktacular ride that is the 370Z. Featuring a fiesty 3.7L V6 this beast can reach speeds of up to 180 mph. Cruising around on fat 19-inch shoes will draw more than a fair share of eyes.

The 370Z only seats two; that's not from lack of consideration for others, that's for boasting what a bombass ride this thing is. You shouldn't be trying to squeeze everyone into your new whip; they should be paying you or fighting each other to win the glory of riding shotgun in this incredible vehicle. Plush cloth bucket seats, the signature Z-adorned steering wheel, and a Z-theme running rampant in places like the gauges and shifter. Plus there's nothing like the feeling of starting up this coupe and hearing that monster under the hood roar. Glorious.

This is you. If you like having fun in any sense of the word out on the road, you owe it to yourself (and me, the salesman!) to pick up this 2012 Nissan 370Z Convertible Coupe today. It's the ultimate convertible experience and it can become YOUR ultimate convertible experience. So stop in at LaFontaine Nissan and see me about grabbing this excellent machine.

2012 Chrysler 200 Convertible Touring

What do you know? Michigan finally remembered it's spring!!! With the sun out that means warm weather and one of life's greatest pleasures: driving down the road in a convertible, the top down, your hair blowing in the wind as you cruise through the world without a care in the world. Allow me to help you towards that endeavor with a beautiful 2012 Chrysler 200 Convertible Touring.

This silver gem is streamlined, aerodynamic, and engineeringly better at cruising the pavement than any other convertible out there (minus the 370Z) (I don't know if engineeringly is a word but hey....). It's 2.4L four cylinder means you can save that gas money for more important things; like buying some ice cream. Or getting a blanket for you and your significant other at Makeout Point (hubba hubba!)

The inside of this convertible is designed with ultimate comfort in mind. Plush cloth seats absorb all your aches and pains, even if you don't have any aches or pains. Ample leg room in the back means your friends will enjoy the ride just as much as you will. And with the amazing sound system, you can blare all your favorite tunes like Rebecca Black's "Friday" or something of that nature (It's friday, okay???)

Take this 200 to the beach, or maybe to the park. Rain or shine it doesn't matter, the cloth top won't leak on you. And when the clouds go away, and the rain moves on to bug someone else, you can rest assured that this 2012 Chrysler 200 Convertible Touring will give you days upon weeks upon months upon years of memorable experiences. Come on in to LaFontaine Nissan today and grab this memory maker.

2011 Nissan Sentra 2.0

You want a car that's small, but not too small? You know what i'm talking about....maybe schmedium sized? Well here at LaFontaine Nissan we have your schmedium bases covered with the 2011 Nissan Sentra 2.0!

Nissan's fusion of compact and mid-size automobile results in a peppy little road racer that gives off a compact vibe while simultaneously providing all the room (and now look) of a mid-size; therefore, schmedium. Bundled up in this package is a fuel-efficient 4-cylinder that gets the driver about 34 highway/27 city mpg; that guarantees you'll get to the grand canyon, with enough money left over to drive to Las Vegas when you realize you can't gamble at a giant gorge. And with only 35,000 miles on this Sentra, you can make that trip over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over.

And over.

The interior sacrifices nothing in terms of comfort. Plush cloth seats support you as you kick your legs around in glee at the prospect of having so much room; preferably you don't actually kick around but if you feel the need to do so, have at it. Audio jacks are at your disposal so you can go zooming through town singing along to all the Taylor Swift your poor ears can handle. And as stated earlier, a full sized rear row of seats means you won't get evil glares when you bring along all your tall friends for a ride.

If any of you are uncertain as to just how big a schmedium sized vehicle is, here is a picture I took of the car up close. Yeah, schmedium.

This is the perfect vehicle to take on a trip to the beach with your friends, or maybe to the mall to do some shopping, or to some other cliche summer destination. Because hey; it's finally summer! And here at LaFontaine Nissan, we're dedicated to getting you in the perfect summer cruiser.

Come on in and ask for Bobby and the 2011 Nissan Sentra 2.0 S. Remember, here at LaFontaine Nissan, we support schmedium sized vehicles; and so should you!

2006 Ford F-150 XLT

It has come to my attention that I haven't covered any trucks yet. This is disappointing; you have my word that I've disciplined myself for this transgression. Having said that I can't introduce just any old truck, that just won't fly. No, I only introduce the baddest of the lamma-jammest, whatever that means. Without further ado let me plunge you into the raw power-filled world of the 2006 Ford F-150 XLT.

Need a monster of a truck? How about a 5.4 L fuel injected V8 pumping 308 horses throughout the veins of this beast? If that isn't enough to get your heart all a-flutter, maybe the 18-inch wheels or the maximum tow package might do the job. This truck is rugged: like a caveman fighting a polar bear with his bare hands, then having a drinking contest with said polar bear after the fight is over. Yeah, that rugged.

As burly and extreme as the exterior is, the cabin is surprisingly comfortable. A full length crew cab back row of seats means you won't be squishing your butt into those dinky little bench-style seats. Which means you can load up your four thousand pound porcelain penguin into the back of the truck and transport all your merry little workers around in comfort.

You owe it to yourself to pick up this truck. It's safe for the kids, so if you want to get your teenager a car to celebrate getting their drivers licence, this is the way to go. It's tough and dependable, so if you need to tow your daughter's F-150 after she takes out four mailboxes texting on the road, this is the way to go. Dependable, comfortable, reliable and enjoyable: this is the 2006 Ford F-150 XLT, and this is available only at LaFontaine Nissan. Ask for Bobby; you won't regret it.

2009 Lincoln MKS Sedan

One of the oldest and most prolific manufacturers in Michigan, the Lincoln section of Ford has been churning out quality vehicles since the early 1900's. Picked by presidents and average Joe alike, this brand has evolved from the early L-series of the 1920's, to the revamped line of MKS's that represent the Lincoln logo today. Speaking of the latter, here right now we have a beautiful 2009 Lincoln MKS Sedan, ready to go home with you today.

Glancing over the vehicle you are introduced to some of its many bold exterior features: the "split wing" chrome grille, heated outside mirrors and 18 inch aluminum wheels support a 3.7 L V6 engine; you don't want to be driving around in style with a wimpy 4-cylinder, and Lincoln understands that.

Speaking of style, and speaking of an insane amount of features (I swear I mentioned the latter....ah well), opening the door unleashes the Pandora's Box of cool options. There's the driver and passenger heated/cooled seats, as well as heated seats for the rear seats. There's the adaptive cruise control, which automatically distances you safely from the drivers in front of you. There's the dual-zone automatic climate control. There's the auto-dimming rear view mirror. There's the popcorn machine. There's the oil slick dispenser. There's the rocket launcher. Talk about fully loaded!

The dark leather interior silently screams class, bold and fierce. For a vehicle that has been used by presidents for years, Lincoln earned that right by producing vehicles that were as steadfast and esteemed as the national leaders riding inside them. The MKS is no exception to this criteria, and those lucky few to drive in one can feel the history and sophistication that its legacy has created.

The 2009 Lincoln MKS Sedan is a feature-stuffed luxury machine that skimps no steps in either class or advanced technology. It is chic, devilishly handsome and all around fun to drive. And hey, four presidents gave Lincoln their seal of approval; that's gotta count for something, right?

Head on over to LaFontaine Nissan and talk to Bobby about getting your hands on this silver fox (see what I did there?)
