Garage Talk with a Special Interest in Jags!

This weekend Kerrik stopped by to say “Hi” to the Jaguar Club of Minnesota’s (JCM) and his old friend Jeff Flynn, Technical Advisor and Owner of Special Interest Auto Service who held the Jag open house Saturday.
Catching up is always a great time when gorgeous vehicles are hanging in the racks. In the collection that Special Interest Auto is looking after were a few E-Types, a couple 12 cylinder Ferraris, (a Lusso and a Testarossa) and a beautiful MG-TD; all getting final touches for spring.
While there, Kerrik was able to meet with a few members of both JCM and Minnesota Austin Healey Club (MAHC) and through his discussions, Urban AutoPlex will be meeting next month with both groups to present ideas of how Urban AutoPlex can support local collectors. We are looking forward to those presentations and feedback.
Thanks Jeff for a great time (https://www.facebook.com/siautoservice).

UAP stopped by the opening day of the Washington DC Auto Show in preparation for what we may see at the Twin Cities Auto Show March 11-19.

Some big brand themes were:
• Made in America from those other than the Big 3
• Performance focus on muscle and not tank
• Stylized vehicle options to personalize your ride
• Technology whether based in steel block or copper wire

Only a few concept vehicles were on the exhibit, two that were receiving wide attention was Jeep’s answer to comfort while trekking and Toyota’s global solution for a greener future.

All in all, Green tech promotions were down with the exception of hydrogen-based technologies represented by Toyota and Hyundai, and Chrysler’s submission of the Pacifica hybrid. We thought that we would see more of an autonomous vehicle promotions with Ford, BMW and others, but it was all about HP, color, and detail (It is an auto show after all…). That all being said the Green Car Award was won by the Acura NSX, which captures many of these themes. Upclose, this vehicle is good for any living thing pumping less carbon and more endorphins.

The big attractions based on crowds:
• BMW Wins the Category if color and all-around performance is the criteria
• Chevrolet’s answer to 650HP – the Z06. Get in line to have a seat in that cockpit
• Alfa tapping into an American market with models like the 4C Spyder and Stelvio
• Audi R8 distinctive looks in blue steel
• Jaguar F-Type SVR - not ferocious in white, but stimulating
• Nissan’s GT-R had every millennial snapchatting from the driver’s seat
• Mercedes perfection and a don’t touch AMG GT
• And finally, a favorite brand Porsche tripping back in time at mach speed with a red 911 Targa 4S

We are looking forward to seeing more in March!
