Posted on 31. Aug, 2010 by admin.
The 2011 Jeep Liberty has been available to customers for a while now, with 1,497 vehicles on sale on Cars.com , but the automaker hasn’t released any information in terms of updates to the model for the media’s consumption or on its consumer website.

Posted on 25. Aug, 2010 by admin.
Confirming (or at least duplicating) reports from back in January, a new report out of Germany says the Audi A3 Sedan is still on track for the U.S. The plan is to leverage America's love for sedans and the potential for affordability with the A3 into more substantial sales figures.
