Conicelli First Look at the 2011 Nissan Juke

Nissans first crossover has made its way over to Conicelli Nissan three weeks before its official arrival date to get some pictures and videos for the dealership. The 2011 Nissan Juke is like a sports car with turbo mixed with an SUV.

Juke has a 1.6 liter DIG (Direct Injection Gasoline) Turbo engine and a 188 horsepower. 27mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.

It is offered in both 4WD and FWD along with a 6 speed manual or automatic transmission. In the automatic, you have three different ways that you can drive: Economy, sport, or normal.

Nissan Juke is geared towards younger people. People that drive the Civic SI, Scions, and Volkswagens are paying particular attention to this new crossover in Nissan’s lineup.

Check out Conicelli’s Facebook Fan Page or Conicelli.com for more info on Nissan Juke.

Step aside Sienna, the completely redesigned 2011 Honda Odyssey is breaking the lineup this month!!!

The all-new 2011 Honda Odyssey is the ultimate minivan reinvented, re-energized and evolved. Although it's available with seating for up to eight passengers there's nothing “minivan” about the Odyssey's efficient-yet-sporty performance, available 10-way power adjustable heated leather-trimmed front seating, authoritative V-6 acceleration and all the thoughtful engineering you'd expect from a Honda.

The Odyssey minivan has been the top-selling minivan in the U.S. for the past two years and is considered the benchmark vehicle in the minivan class. The completely-redesigned 2011 Honda Odyssey improves on its already award-winning, class-leading design with a more-distinctive style, higher fuel efficiency and greater interior versatility.

Conicelli Honda is excited to raise the curtain on the new minivan that is due to arrive at the end of September. Check out Conicellihonda.com or come in for a test drive when it comes to Conicelli Honda at 1200 Ridge Pike in Conshohocken.

Conicelli Hyundai Gives Hope on Wheels to Help Fight Against Childhood Cancer

Since 1998 Hyundai and its dealers have been committed to supporting the fight against childhood cancer. At the end of 2010, Hyundai Hope on Wheels will have donated more than $23 million to children’s hospitals nationwide to help kids fight cancer. Every time a new Hyundai vehicle is sold in the U.S., $5 is donated to Hope on Wheels.

The Hope on Wheels Tour is the united effort of Hyundai dealers across the country to raise awareness about childhood cancer and celebrate the lives of the courageous children battling the disease. This past year, Hope on Wheels Tour traveled to 42 children’s hospitals across the country and donated more than $2 million to support further training and research for doctors involved in childhood cancer research. Hyundai Hope on Wheels designates the medical professionals supported by these donations as Hyundai Scholars.

The 2010 Tour also hosted Handprint Ceremonies for childhood cancer patients, both past and present, at the 42 children’s hospitals receiving donations. The symbol of the Hope on Wheels Tour is a white Hyundai Santa Fe vehicle covered with colorful handprints representing childhood cancer patients from all over the country. The Handprint Ceremony celebrates the courage of childhood cancer patients by capturing their colorful handprints on the white Santa Fe; children attending the ceremony are asked to lend a hand and place their own handprints on the car to commemorate their battle with cancer.

Why handprints? Because there's nothing more personal than a handprint – and the goal of the Hope on Wheels Tour is to share the personal triumphs of each of these children with other childhood cancer patients and their families across the country. Whether it's completing a round of chemo, celebrating a beautiful new head of hair or receiving a clean bill of health, one childhood cancer patient’s milestone can be another's symbol of hope.

This year, Hyundai and its dealers are expanding their commitment to battling childhood cancer with the “Hyundai Gives Hope on Wheels” September program. During the month of September - Childhood Cancer Awareness Month - Hyundai Motor America and Hyundai dealers will raise national awareness about childhood cancer and donate $6.8 million to children’s hospitals and other non-profit organizations across the country.
