2011 Mazda2 is Coming to Maryland This Summer
March 3, 2010
Coming to your Maryland Mazda dealer this summer is the all-new Mazda2. They call this car “Zoom Zoom in its most concentrated form;” compact and efficient, yet packed with style and substance.
If you missed the Baltimore Auto Show last month, don’t worry you’ll be seeing more of this sporty car soon enough. Until that day comes, you will just have to hear about how great the newly developed suspension, Electric Power Assist Steering system, Sequential Valve Timing and a powerful MZR 1.5 engine handles from our foreign friends.
As a Mazda owner, it should be no surprise that the new Mazda2 has a sleek outer shell, superior handling, gets great mileage and is completely affordable. What is different is that it’s about 100kg lighter than its predecessors and even more efficient, but without the loss of its other outperforming qualities.
Lighter materials use to produce the Mazda2 is a major contributing factor honoring its top safety achievements and fuel economy. The vehicle has already achieved world-leading crash safety ratings (5 stars in the Euro New Car Assessment Program (NCAP, the highest possible result) without compromising drive performance and fuel economy.
With numerous awards already under its belt in China, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, Slovakia, and more, it’s time to prove itself in the States. The Mazda2 should bring a fun and sleek new look to the streets, and give consumers another option in the compact car segment.
Mazda2: lighter, nimbler, safer, more economical, cleaner – and just plain more fun.

Over the holiday season, many events were held which resulted in over 350 adoptions and $28,000 for local agencies. Subaru is celebrating their partnership with the ASPCA though a campaign featuring, Olive and Zelda, two adopted dogs, driving a Subaru Forester.

2011 Honda CR-Z – Arriving in Maryland Soon
February 25, 2010
The new CR-Z is the newest sports sedan from Honda. Usually the Eco friendly standards force consumers to forget about joy riding and buy based on practicality, but not with this car. The CR-Z strikes a unique balance and will broaden the appeal of hybrids. It’s a hybrid for drivers who enjoy driving and are unwilling to sacrifice handling and exhilaration for mpg and environmental accountability.
The CR-Z has three driving modes: Sport, Normal and ECON™. EPA estimates this vehicle getting 36 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway and that’s when only driven in normal mode. This may be the first time customers don’t have to compromise economy for performance or vice versa.
The CR-Z is a two-door coupe, with a very sleek and sporty design. People interested in this car want to drive it because it’s fun, not just because it’s green.
Look for this new model in late 2010 as a 2011 model. The 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine, combined with the hybrid system, makes this 122 horsepower vehicle worth the wait. Fear not, both transmission options will be available, a six-speed manual and a Continuously Variable Transmission. If fuel costs are a major concern, go with the CVT model which is estimated to get more miles per gallon.
Keep checking back in to catch the first glimpse of this new futuristic, eco-friendly vehicle when it hits your Heritage Honda showroom in 2011.

Jetta TDI Cup ‘Street’ Edition in Maryland
February 16, 2010
Racetrack Inspired Street Edition
Volkswagen kicks off the 2010 Jetta TDI Cup racing season with a special edition Jetta TDI Cup “Street” Edition. Only 2,500 of these replica race cars will be built, each equipped with the award-winning 2.0-liter clean diesel engine that produces 140 horsepower and a broad torque curve, with a road-scorching output of 236 lb.-ft. This remarkable engine makes use of an advanced electronically controlled turbocharger and common rail direct injection technology, and can be matched with either a six-speed manual transmission or the highly acclaimed DSG transmission – the same double-clutch automatic gearbox used in TDI Cup race cars.
For clean-diesel enthusiasts and fans of the racing series – now in its third season– the 2010 Jetta TDI Cup “Street” Edition is as fun to drive as it is visually appealing. With the sports-tuned chassis from the GLI and responsive turbo-diesel power, the Jetta TDI Cup Edition delivers road-hugging handling along with extraordinary fuel economy and ultra-low CO2 emissions. Think of it as a “GLI TDI” – the environmentally friendly sports sedan of the future.
Exterior and Chassis Features
In addition to “TDI Cup” graphics emblazoned along the lower 
bodysides of the car, the Jetta replica racer features significant chassis enhancements over the standard Jetta, such as larger disc brakes with
red calipers, a European sport-tuned suspension and sway bars from the performance-oriented Jetta GLI. High-performance all-season 18-inch tires are mounted on eye-catching “Charleston” multi-spoke alloy wheels. For an even more aggressive look that is almost identical to the TDI Cup race cars, there is an optional body kit that features sculpted side sill extensions, a rear valence panel, and unique front fascia with prominent mesh-covered lower air intakes. A wing spoiler is an additional option that completes the ready-for-racing look while contributing to improved high-speed aerodynamics. Four exterior colors are offered: Black Magic, Candy While, Salsa Red or brilliant Laser Blue (shown in photos).
Bold, Racy Colors
The Jetta TDI Cup Edition is available in four distinctive colors: Laser Blue Metallic, Black Magic, Candy White, and Salsa Red.
Interior Styling
Inside, the Jetta TDI Cup “Street” Edition boasts the same comfortable and supportive sport bucket seats found in the Jetta GLI, covered with iconic Interlagos plaid cloth upholstery. The leather-wrapped steering
wheel has a Piano Black lower clip and paddle shifters when equipped with the DSG transmission. Like the GLI, foot pedals have a light-alloy appearance. Door sill plates are identified with the TDI logo.
Optional equipment available on the TDI Cup Edition includes a power sunroof, navigation system and iPod integration for the audio system.
Pricing
Volkswagens are designed to offer advanced German engineering at an affordable price, and this special edition Jetta reinforces that philosophy, with pricing that starts around $25,000. Because it’s a clean-burning diesel, the Jetta TDI Cup Edition qualifies for an Advanced Lean Burn Technology Motor Vehicle Federal Income Tax Credit of $1,300. The savings will continue on the road, as the Jetta TDI boasts EPA fuel economy figures of 30 mpg city/42 mpg highway (DSG).
With only twelve total in Maryland, Heritage Volkswagen in Owings Mills will have two available with the full body kit. One will be Laser Blue and one Black, both with manual transmissions. Contact your Maryland Volkswagen dealer now to find out how you can get your limited edition Jetta TDI.
