If your leasing ...I see on tv an insane deal on Buick encore cuv s....185 down ...185 a month for 36 months...

I'm sure it's basic ....but for 185 down, 185 a month...(as long as your coming for a competitors lease) the cars under warranty and you have a vette for fun...

Power wagons? The mazda speed 3 , ford fiesta or focus ST s ...seem cool and the magnum hemi is righteous...

I'm sure the cts v wagon would be a crazy ride as well...if a bit pricier...

The lease deals on the Chevy track and Buick encore are very reasonable.

Just watching tv I see the Buick encore at 185 at inception and 185 a month for 24 months....

That's like a free car...

I've been sorta looking at the 2016 Mercedes GLA SUV. It's a 208 HP compact and starts at $32,500, or $35,000 for the 4matic and $50,000 for the 375HP AMG model.

I have a 2 car garage with two 4-post lifts so height of the wagon is important. The GLA is 60 inches so it will fit under one of my lifts with 3 inches to spare. Other SUV's are taller than that. That's why my present DD is a 4 door sedan at 56 inches height.

I like the little GLA amg. The amg version...with 375 hp and AWD is pretty cool. Sort of a cross between a golf GTI and a cuv...

I'm leaning towards the jaguar f pace starting around 43 grand with AWD and a 340 hp supercharged v6. I prefer to buy American but if gmc or Cadillac don't come out with an alpha based sport cuv to do battle with the Macan...I may go with the F pace. I'd even go with a gmc sport cuv based off the bolt platform if it looks like a Macan,

Jaguars sales of the f pace is so hot they are claiming they ve got 9 months of orders in the books but I think it's the dealers...

Looks pretty hot In The photos and the price is very good for an AWD jaguar cuv....

Sure hope gm wakes up and produces a sport car like cuv ....off the alpha platform ...all it needs is a new cuv top hat and some large diameter wheels...and high profile tires....
