The tiny Smart car, fighting sluggish US sales, is getting a jolt under the seats. That is where the lithium-ion battery pack sits in the new electric version of the two-seater, located where its 8.7-gallon gas tank used to be. The Smart ForTwo Electric Drive made its local debut yesterday at the Herb Chambers dealership in Somerville. Taking a cue from BMW, which leased its prototype electric Mini Cooper last year to 500 American drivers, Smart is bringing 250 test models of its electric car to the United States. They will be available through special lease programs, but most will be sold to corporate fleets. Smart plans to build 1,500 before official production begins in 2012. The four-year lease is expected to cost $31,500, about $10,000 more than the most expensive … [Read more...]

Bentley had an array of its vehicles, past and present, on display at the Boston Harbor Hotel in late April. However, the centerpiece — the Mulsanne — remained under a cover in the hotel’s waterfront gazebo. On hand to help introduce the car was Emma Northey, great granddaughter of company founder W.O.

Bentley Mulsanne – Herb Chambers Luxury Cars
Bentley Mulsanne NEW YORK—Normally, one of the best jobs in the world has to be Bentley’s US president and COO. That is, unless you are Christophe Georges on a Thursday morning in the Chelsea section of Manhattan and your company’s new car petulantly refuses to come off the car carrier. Such was the case as Georges, who works out of Bentley’s Boston office, stood before a gathering of automotive media to make the Northeast introduction of the 2011 Bentley Mulsanne, the latest entry to the ultra-high luxury segment that is populated solely by the likes of Rolls Royce and Maybach. “The challenge for me is I was supposed to show you a new car,” Georges said. “This is only the seventh car made. These things are going to happen.” Miscues aside, the Mulsanne is a … [Read more...]
