Fudgy cookies go Latin with an infusion of dulce de leche, a sweet milk caramel similar to cajeta and arequipe. These cool treats are happily portable on their crisp shortbread crusts.

From the desk of John C. Fox, President, Fox Automotive, Inc
I wanted to update you on our Toyota Recall Plans. Our number one priority is taking care of all our loyal customers. I assure you that owners of the recalled vehicles are being contacted, appointments made, and the necessary repairs are being completed in the most timely and convenient possible way. To help accomplish this task, we have extended our normal service hours on Monday thru Thursday from 6:00AM until 8:00PM. Friday we open at 6:00AM and close at 6:00PM.
To make this as easy as possible for you, we are scheduling an afternoon drop-off of your vehicle and providing you with a no-charge rental vehicle overnight. We will have your vehicle completed and ready for you the following day. If this is not convenient for you, we would be happy to work out an appointment that accommodates your individual needs.
To begin the process, simply click on the link below. Completely fill out all of the information about your vehicle, including the VIN. Please type “recall” in the comments section of the form to complete the process. Be sure to include a good daytime phone number to reach you at, as our call center will be contacting you to confirm your appointment. Our shuttle service is available if you would like to drop off your vehicle and not wait at the dealership. We are happy to take you anywhere within our designated shuttle area and pick you up when your vehicle is ready to be picked up. Our customer lounge does have wireless Internet, so feel free to bring your laptop along if you like.
If an overnight no-charge rental vehicle is necessary, please schedule your appointments for Monday thru Thursday only. We will do the recalls on Friday on a shuttle or wait basis only. Depending on the model, the recall takes from one to 3 hours.
If you feel more comfortable talking to us by phone, please contact Kathy or Melissa in our Call Center at 248-656-0400. They would be happy to set everything up for you by phone. Please have the VIN for your vehicle handy when you call. This can generally be found on either the registration, or certificate of insurance.
Thank you for your continued support.

The standard among compact sedans.
courtesy New Car Test Drive
 The Toyota Corolla is the textbook compact sedan, the standard by which others are judged. Corolla is the longest continuous nameplate from a Japanese manufacturer, and more than 30 million Corollas have been sold to date in more than 140 countries. The Corolla is inexpensive to buy and operate yet it doesn't feel like a cheap car. Completely redesigned for the 2009 model year, the Corolla carries over with more safety equipment standard for 2010.
The Corolla is easy to drive, with straightforward controls, minimal distractions, and a comprehensive list of standard safety equipment ...

World Premiere: New Touareg Takes SUV Idea into Future
Touareg debuts with hybrid drive and high-tech range of engines
courtesy Vortex.com
 Volkswagen is unveiling the completely redeveloped Touareg as a world premiere. It is the most technically innovative “VW” since the brand has been in existence. This Touareg is reinterpreting the fascinating multipurpose SUV idea in a contemporary way – thanks to a range of engines that are nearly 20 percent more fuel efficient and a large variety of new assistance and safety systems. The Touareg will also be the first and only off-roader in Europe by a German car maker to be available in a hybrid version too. It sets standards among fully off-road capable SUVs with petrol engines that have a fuel consumption value of just 8.2 litres fuel per 100 kilometres. The Touareg Hybrid can be driven up to 50 km/h in purely electric mode - emissions-free.

Up In The Air
Courtesy cinemablend.com
 “All the things you probably hate about traveling,” says George Clooney’s Ryan Bingham, “are warm reminders that I’m home.” Ryan is a man in constant motion, a man who sees people as sharks which, should they stop moving, will die. He refuses to die and so he lives in the air, flying from one city to the next, never stopping long enough to form attachments. He thinks of his life as a backpack, in which all the things you own and the people you know must go. His advice is: travel light. Refusing to be weighed down he avoids relationships and material possessions. He’s on the move. A lesser film would, in the end, demonstrate the flaw in this philosophy by forcing Ryan to fall in love. And in that other movie’s final moments the music would swell and Ryan would look into his dream girl’s eyes to discover that, in fact, he’s had it all wrong and it’s time to settle down. Up in the Air is not that movie.

2011 Chevrolet Volt
On Sale: Late 2010
courtesy New Car Test Drive
 The Chevrolet Volt represents the next step in electric propulsion. It is an extended range electric vehicle that is always powered by electricity.
The powertrain consists of an electric motor, a small FlexFuel-capable four-cylinder engine (probably 1.4-liters), and a 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. With a full charge, the Volt can go up to 40 miles on electricity alone. After that, the gas engine will act as a generator to charge the battery, which, in turn, will power the vehicle. Chevrolet says the engine will extend the car's range to 300 miles.
