Car manufacturers are paying more attention to style. Many of today's cars include luxurious interiors and head-turning exterior designs. These are a few of the most impressive vehicles on the market today. more Chrysler 300 The Chrysler 300 is both luxurious and functional. The standard model is modern and sleek, and if you prefer something a little bolder, you can upgrade to the sport appearance package. This exclusive package features body-color trims, a chrome grille, updated LED fog lights, and a body-color rear spoiler. Chrysler also introduced two new exterior colors to the 2018 models including green metallic and ocean blue metallic. Chrysler 300 drivers can further personalize their vehicle with nine different wheel designs. Jeep Grand Cherokee The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a luxury head-turning option in the SUV category. It sticks with all of the traditional drivability features of the Jeep but with the added comforts of a luxury vehicle. The exterior is uniquely sculpted for a different take on the traditional Jeep design. Additional stylish exterior features include the roof side rails, a Jeep cargo storage system, and the upgraded fog lights. The entire exterior is built on a platform design that is modern and sleek. You can also upgrade to the available HEMI V8 engine for a little extra power on the road. Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Although the Dodge Challenger SRT speaks to a specific group of car enthusiasts, it is quite the looker. This limited-production Challenger is the true definition of a muscle car. If the bold and sporty exterior design does not turn heads, the sounds coming from the engine sure will. The Demon comes equipped with a turbocharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces a maximum of 840 horsepower. Finally, the entire design is finished off with the exclusive Demon logo. Chrysler Ram Limited Tungsten Edition Many drivers choose a truck for its durability and functionality, not its design. The Chrysler Ram Limited Tungsten Edition meets both needs and is the most stylish vehicle in the 2018 truck line. Tungsten drivers can still take advantage of the durability features the Ram line offers with the advanced towing and hauling features. The only difference is you will feel stylish while handling your day to day tasks. The exterior of the 2018 Chrysler Ram Tungsten includes unique tungsten accents and the exclusive RAM brand logo.

The Rubicon is lifted and includes black fenders, an upgraded power hood, and off-roading rock rails with tread plates.

High Performance With 840 horsepower and 770 pounds-feet of torque from the supercharged 6.2 liter HEMI® Demon V-8 engine the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the most powerful muscle car in existence, setting numerous records. The Demon is the world’s first production car to lift the front wheels from the point of launch and set the world record for longest wheelie from a standing start at 2.92 feet. It’s the world’s fastest quarter-mile production car clocking in at 9.65 seconds and reaching a speed of 140 mph. It can hit 0-60 in 2.3 seconds and pulls more G’s than any other production car on the market. more Production Car Firsts On top of the Demon’s record-breaking firsts, it also boasts a few features never before included in a production vehicle.

With this, drivers can increase the engine speed up to 2,350 rpm without overpowering the brakes, which results in up to 15 percent more torque at launch, making the Demon scream off the line. TransBrake also works in conjunction with Torque Reserve, another first-ever feature for a factory car, to deliver increased power and torque at launch.

The wide-body fender flares amplify the Demon’s intimidating stance, while also providing enough room for wider tires with concealed attachments.

When it comes to choosing a new car, there are many factors you should take into consideration: make and model, factory options, and price. Another factor that can come into play is whether you are purchasing or leasing a vehicle. Both options have their advantages. Here, we discuss some of the important decisions you'll have to make when you're choosing between the two. more Leasing Is Convenient Leasing a new car means that you'll only have the vehicle in your possession for a specified amount of time (usually about three or four years). When your lease ends, all you need to do is return the vehicle to the dealership, at which point, you will have the opportunity to begin a new lease with a brand new vehicle. This fact represents a significant convenience, as it removes the hassle of trying to sell your old car. Leasing also guarantees that you'll always be driving a relatively new model, which appeals to many customers who are afraid of breaking down. Leasing Is Cheaper Leasing a car is a popular option for drivers who feel that purchasing a new vehicle isn't economically feasible. For one thing, monthly lease payments are typically less than monthly car loan payments. Moreover, most leases include a full warranty. This means that you will generally not be responsible for repair and maintenance costs. And if you do happen to get into an accident, you'll still have your regular automotive insurance to cover the costs. For these reasons, leasing a new vehicle may be a cost-effective choice for drivers who can't afford to buy a new vehicle outright. Buying Gets You Unlimited Mileage While leasing a car might be a cheaper option, that isn't always the case. For example, you may want to consider the distance of your daily commute. Most leases only cover you for 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year. If you regularly exceed this limit, you may end up paying an additional fee in addition to your standard lease charges when you return the car. If you've purchased your vehicle instead, you can drive your car as often and as far as you like. Buying Your Leased Vehicle While it's clear that both leasing and buying offer their own advantages, it may be possible to strike a middle ground by purchasing your vehicle after the expiration of the lease. This makes the most financial sense if you have not adhered to the terms of the lease (i.e., if you have exceeded the mileage restrictions or failed to maintain the vehicle). In these circumstances, returning the car to the dealer will probably incur additional charges. Opting to purchase the vehicle instead may be a cost-effective way to avoid these fees while keeping a good car. When it comes to choosing between purchasing and leasing a new vehicle, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. You should consider your own unique circumstances and determine which approach makes the most sense for your lifestyle and your wallet.   Image “ Row of Cars at a Car Dealership” by everycar_listed_photos, used under CC BY-SA 2.0
