Nissan Altima

Building on previous generation Altima’s reputation as the design and dynamic leader in class, the 2007 Nissan Altima is evolutionary in design, but revolutionary in its platform and hardware.

Along with its distinctive styling, the new fourth generation Altima utilizes the all-new Nissan “D” platform with improved body rigidity and a redesigned suspension with the development objective of making Altima one of the best performing large front-wheel drive sedans available globally.

The new Altima also offers Nissan’s advanced Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), a choice of the award-winning VQ-series 3.5-liter V6 or powerful 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engines, and a long list of technology features – including available Intelligent Key with Push Start Ignition, Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System, RearView Monitor and an advanced touch-screen navigation system.

Lincoln MKX

The 2007 Lincoln MKX is loaded with comfort and convenience as a modern new choice in the luxury crossover utility vehicle (CUV) market.

Lincoln MKX's elegant design is combined with a sporty stance, powerful engine and quiet interior. It also boasts such technological advances as adaptive headlamps that move with the steering wheel, a panoramic glass roof, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, 14-speaker THX II audio system and DVD-based navigation.

Lincoln MKX is a five-passenger CUV powered by a fuel-efficient 3.5-liter engine with a class-leading 6-speed transmission and fully independent suspension. The new Lincoln MKX builds on the success of the Lincoln Zephyr in appealing to a new generation of luxury buyers and defining a modern vision for Lincoln.

Jaguar XJ

Jaguar’s award-winning XJ range retains its status as the most beautiful and value-for-money collection of luxury saloons on sale today thanks to a host of updates and additional features for the new 2007 Model Year.

To complement the XJ range’s graceful looks, Jaguar’s design team have created a distinct palette of new exterior colours and interior trim options to ensure increased choice for customers. The 400bhp (DIN) 4.2-litre supercharged XJR model now comes with a 20-inch Cremona alloy wheel as standard (19-inch Sabre for North America and Germany), while the stunning 20-inch Callisto wheel is available as an option across the range.

Furthermore, 19-inch alloy wheels are offered as standard on all XJ models (outside North America), sending a powerful visual statement to match the power and performance of the XJ range’s four acclaimed non-supercharged engines – a 2.7-litre twin-turbo diesel, 3.0 petrol V6, and 3.5 and 4.2-litre petrol V8s.

Inside the 2007 Model Year XJ a new range of trim and veneer options create a luxurious yet contemporary feel, while a series of state-of-the-art, user-friendly, optional technology systems such as a rear-seat entertainment system or satellite-based anti-theft device make the new XJ as advanced as it is beautiful.

The XJ range’s 2007 Model Year updates reinforce the much-admired quality of the car’s advanced engineering. The first of Jaguar’s current model range to be constructed with a lightweight aluminum structure, every XJ enjoys significant performance advantages over its rivals thanks to its stiff yet ultra-light body.
