WITTNAUER s i v w-; : j Till the end of time" lttM'.t-l HI - Is.. .'v ' . 1 I ft ; Mitsubishi Eclipse has a lot to offer . After the mass slaughter of sport coupes in 1997, the Eclipse is a survivor. The unique combination combi-nation of exotic performance and stylingcombined with Eclipse's value-oriented pricing, will keep this sport coupe popular in 1999 as well. Eclipse's phenomenal success is partly due to an exterior design de-sign that could easily double as an auto show concept car. Styled at Mitsubishi Motor's design center cen-ter in Southern California, Eclipse has an aggressive front fascia with large air intakes, flowing roofline and trademark full-width tail lamps. It's a look that is as fashionable as it is unique, allowing the Eclipse to look like no other sports coupe. Where Eclipse really surpasses .others in its class is a wide combination com-bination of performance and value that fits a variety of sports coupe buyers. Its available tur-bocharged tur-bocharged engine and all-wheel drive are quite unusual, let alone in this price range. Additionally, its sophisticated four-wheel independent, inde-pendent, multi-link suspension system provides a balance of sporty handling plus a smooth ride. In all, Eclipse has the styling, , performance and handling that make it a great form of rapid transit, while offering a considerable consid-erable amount of practicality too. Comparing the purchase costs, insurance and maintenance of all sports coupes over five-year period, IntelliChoice named Volkswagen's 1999 Passat is extremely advanced New for 1999, Volkswagen will introduce a supremely equipped Passat GLX sedan complete with Volkswagen's all-wheel-drive system. sys-tem. This system also comes on the 1999 Passat GLS V6 wagon and as an option on the GLS V6 sedan.' Volkswagen's Passet models, both the sedan and wagon are technically advanced mid-size cars, employing innovative technology, tech-nology, that includes Volkswagen's revolutionary new four-link front suspension system sys-tem and five- valve per cylinder engine technology. Passat comes with a standard stan-dard five-speed manual transmission, or an optional five-speed automatic with. Tiptronic (a registered trademark trade-mark of Dr. Ing. H.c. F. Porsche AG), that can either be operated as a normal automatic au-tomatic transmission or, when the driver desires more control, it can be shifted through the gears manually using a special shift gate. . The Safety features include standard front seat-mounted side airbags. For protection when an accident can't be -avoided, the Passat offers a highly advanced passive safety system that comprises com-prises a multitude of state-of-the-art safety features and structural elements designed to work together to-gether to help protect its occupants. occu-pants. " This system begins with the Passat's rigid body structure that Eclipse GS-T and GSX "A best Overall Value" in 1998. And, for 1999, each Eclipse model offers a long list of standard stan-dard equipment with a competitive competi-tive pricing structure-and there's even a new Sports Value Package Pack-age for the popular Eclipse GS that provides a considerable amount of features at a discounted dis-counted price. The Eclipse RS is the most affordable af-fordable model in the line, powered pow-ered by a gutsy 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve engine that produces 140 horsepower with a choice of a 5-speed manual or available 4-speed 4-speed automatic transmission. RS buyers can add everything from air conditioning, alloy wheels, a cargo cover and rear spoiler, power windows and door lock and cruise control. Eclipse GS is the most popular popu-lar model in the Eclipse line, and is an extraordinary blend of ' sportiness, style and value. The popularity of the Mitsubishi Eclipse undoubtedly lies in its exotic performance and styling, and with its unexotic pricing and award-winning low maintenance costs, it's likely to overshadow its sports coupe competition com-petition as a popular form of rapid transit for 1999.

In a severe, crash, these deformation zones sacrifice themselves in an accordion-like fashion, absorbing the energy to help spare the critical central structure. This system works together with an advanced supplemental restraint system. In addition to front driver and passenger airbags, the Passat uses a new seal belt tensioning system that tightens and optimally positions all outboard belts within milliseconds milli-seconds of a severe crash. These three point safety belts are also equipped with shoulder height adjustments, and to help secure a child safety seat, which should only be used in the rear seats, automatic locking retractors and emergency locking retractors are provided. . The Passat was the fiTSt Volkswagen to utilize side airbags for front seat occupants. This system is integrated into the front seats for good reason: no matter where the front occupant occu-pant adjusts his or her seat position, posi-tion, the airbag maintain its protective pro-tective relationship. This cannot always be assured if the side airbag is installed in the door or the roof pillar. Side protection is further ensured en-sured by special reinforcements and structural members, including includ-ing anti-intrusion tubes and foam padding at all four doors. fit "i 1999 Oldsmobile Alero offers great performance By Brent Sumner Automotive Writer Alero is not only the latest addition ad-dition to the Oldsmobile Centennial Centen-nial Plan family, it's also the first all-new product to be introduced during this division's second century cen-tury of production. Targeted specifically spe-cifically at import-oriented buyers buy-ers who prioritize functionality, but also desire refinement and performance in an attractively styled mid-market automobile. Alero is a car with personality. It is stylish and fun to drive, yet functional, reliably, comfortable and safe. Alero provides shoppers seeking a smart solution to their transportation needs an astute blend of affordability and capability. capa-bility. Alero's combination of performance, perfor-mance, refinement, and attractive attrac-tive design are sure to win a strong following. The Lansing, Michigan, assembly facility is primed and ready to build enough Alero coupes and sedans to make this Oldsmobile's highest high-est volume car line. Two body styles and three trim levels are geared to serve a broad range of middle-market needs. With a focus on some of the most successful car lines offered in the US - Honda Accord, Ford Contour, and Nissan Altima - all Aleros are fully equipped with the attributes at-tributes expected by demanding customers. The standard equipment list includes automatic transmission, air conditioning, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, and power rack-and-pinion steering. Power is provided by a 150-horsepower DOHC 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine en-gine and a 170-horsepower 3.4-liter 3.4-liter V-6.

Alero is intrinsically fun-to-drive tanks to an outstanding power-to-weight ratio and a chassis geared for agile maneuverability. Alero's exterior draws key brand characteristics from Oldsmobile's Aurora flagship: clear lens head lamps and tail lamps, low-mounted dual air intakes, in-takes, fluted side sculpting, round wheel openings, and six-spoke six-spoke wheels. It fills a void in the market that incumbent competitors competi-tors have missed - the desire for a car with much more expression and flair than the typical Accord or Canvy. Alero's clean, fluid lines and uncluttered design is perceived as sportier and more stylish. Roof profiles between the coupe and sedan are very similar to yield a high style sedan and coupe with plenty of rear seat room. "Alero's design represents a genuine response re-sponse to customer demands with no compromises," concluded Wasenko. Inside Alero, the driver's needs are the central focus. Instrumenta- -tion is large and easy to read and a vertical cluster mounted PRNDL was chosen for consis- ; tency with the shifter design. Canting the center console stack ; slightly towards the driver rein- forces the cockpit approach. In response to consumer preference, the Alero's radio controls are positioned po-sitioned above the HVAC unit. Customers clearly utilize the radio ra-dio knobs more often than adjust het climate control setting and the higher positioning of the ra- : dio controls provides the driver with much better convenience and ease of use.
