Established Colorado Porsche dealership Prestige Imports steps up its commitment to excellence in Porsche 911 sales and service in the Colorado Rocky Mountain region
Denver, Colorado, October 17, 2008 - Colorado Porsche dealer Prestige Imports has announced its renewed commitment to providing an outstanding customer experience in connection with the sales and service of Porsche 911 automobiles. Longstanding Denver, Colorado area Porsche dealer Prestige Imports has provided attentive customer service to its loyal customer base from its location on Colfax Avenue in Lakewood dating back from the early 1970s. The Porsche dealership enjoys a reputation throughout Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region as a reputable and trusted dealership that provides a high quality experience for Porsche 911 sales and service customers.
Accord to Carconnection.com, “The 911 Porsche lineup offers several different engine options, though all are variants of Porsche’s signature flat-six powerplant.” Edmunds describes the lengthy engine list as including a “3.6-liter, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine that produces 325 hp and 273 pound-feet of torque” on the base Porsche 911 Carrera, while the “Carrera S has a 3.8-liter version of the flat-6 rated for 355 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.”
Acceleration is the name of the game for the Porsche 911 lineup, and Edmunds writes “every 911 can perform the 0-60-mph sprint in fewer than 5 seconds, with the Turbo and GT2 doing it in well under 4.” Furthermore, they add “top speed approaches 200 mph for the GT3 and Turbo and exceeds that in the GT2.”
Acceleration may be blistering, especially on turbocharged Porsche 911 models, but the 911 gets high marks for handling as well. ConsumerGuide finds that the Porsche 911 is “balanced, grippy, and stable,” and it offers “quick, informative steering.” Other reviewers agree, with Edmunds writing that the 2008 Porsche 911 “turns in crisply and with precision, and is largely unaffected by broken pavement.”
The Colorado Porsche dealer is open Monday through Saturday. Additional information about Prestige Imports and its inventory of Porsche automobiles is available at the company’s website at www.prestigeimports.net or the company blog at www.prestigeimportsblog.net.

Established Colorado Audi dealership Prestige Imports reaffirms its commitment to excellence in Audi A3 sales and service in the Colorado Rocky Mountain region
Denver, Colorado, October 17, 2008 - Colorado Audi dealer Prestige Imports has affirmed its commitment to providing an outstanding customer experience in connection with the sales and service of Audi A3 automobiles. Longstanding Denver, Colorado area Audi dealer Prestige Imports has provided attentive customer service to its loyal customer base from its location on Colfax Avenue in Lakewood dating back from the early 1970s. The Audi dealership enjoys a reputation throughout Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region as a reputable and trusted dealership that provides a high quality experience for Audi A3 sales and service customers.
According to CarConnection.com, “Whether on a winding road or in the straightaway, the performance of the 2008 Audi A3 had reviewers grinning from ear to ear.” According to ForbesAuto, the source of all these smiles is the Audi A3 2008’s “200-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.”
A 3.2-liter V-6 engine upgrade is also available, which Kelley Blue Book feels “delivers even more punch, combining the sure-grip traction of quattro all-wheel drive with the marvelous DSG transmission.” ForbesAuto also recommends the upgrade, stating the 3.2-liter engine is “smoother” and “generates 250 horsepower.” Both A3 Audi engines provide adequate performance for Edmunds, who enthusiastically explains, “whether you choose the 2.0T or 3.2 Quattro, brisk performance is at hand for passing and merging maneuvers.”
Rounding out the praise according to Kelley Blue Book “the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) facilitates lightning-fast gear changes.” ConsumerGuide is thrilled that “rapid takeoffs induce minor torque-steer” and says, “braking is strong.”
The Colorado Audi dealer is open Monday through Saturday. Additional information about Prestige Imports and its inventory of Audi automobiles is available at the company’s website at www.prestigeimports.net or the company blog at www.prestigeimportsblog.net.

In Colorado the Porsche brand’s reputation is legendary. In a May 2006 survey, Porsche was awarded the title of the most prestigious automobile brand by Luxury Institute, New York. The survey was conducted among more than 500 households with a gross annual income of at least US $200,000 and a net worth of at least US $720,000. The current Porsche lineup includes sports cars from the Boxster roadster to their most famous product, the 911. The Cayman is a hard top car similar to the Boxster in a slightly higher price range. The Cayenne is Porsche’s mid-size luxury SUV. Future plans include a high performance luxury saloon/sedan, the Panamera.
Porsche was awarded the 2006 J.D. Power and Associates award for the highest-ranked nameplate in its Initial Quality Study (IQS) of automobile brands. As a company, Porsche is known for weathering changing market conditions with great financial stability, while retaining most production in Germany during an age when most other German car manufacturers have moved at least parts of their production to Eastern Europe or overseas. The headquarters and main factory are still in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, but the Cayenne (and formerly the Carrera GT) is manufactured in Leipzig, Germany, the SUV also in Bratislava, Slovakia. The company has been highly successful in recent times, and indeed claims to have the highest profit per unit sold of any car company in the world.
Porsche has for many years offered consultancy services to various other car manufacturers. Audi, Studebaker, SEAT, Daewoo, Subaru and Yugo have consulted Porsche on engineering for their cars or engines. Porsche also helped Harley-Davidson design their new engine in their newer V-Rod motorcycle.

Colorado Porsche fans may be interested to know something about the early history of Porsche. The following timeline details some of the origins of the company.
1875:
On September 3, Ferdinand Porsche is born in the Bohemian town of Maffersdorf. In 1889, after attending grammar school there and the Staatsgewerbeschule (State Vocational School) in Reichenberg, he enters his father’s business as an apprentice plumber.
1900:
The Lohner-Porsche electric car is presented at the World Fair in Paris. The wheel hub engines of the young engineer Ferdinand Porsche bring him international attention. In the same year, he develops an all-wheel-drive racecar, as well as a hybrid petrol/electric vehicle – a world first.
1906:
Ferdinand Porsche becomes Technical Director at Austro-Daimler in Wiener Neustadt. At the age of only 31, he is responsible for the model range of one of Europe’s largest automotive concerns.
1909:
Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche, later known as ‘Ferry’, is born on September 19 in Wiener Neustadt.
1910:
The Austro-Daimler touring car designed by Ferdinand Porsche scores a triple victory in the Prince Henry Trials. At the wheel of the winning car sits none other than Ferdinand Porsche himself.
1923:
As Technical Director and Board Member of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft in Stuttgart, Ferdinand Porsche designs the legendary Mercedes Compressor Sports Car. The following year, the 2-litre racecar developed under his aegis wins the Targa Florio. The Mercedes-Benz S-Type models dominate international motorsport from 1927.
1931:
Crowning his career, Ferdinand Porsche opens an office for ‘engineering and consultation on engine and vehicle design’ in Stuttgart on April 25. Created for such renowned manufacturers as Wanderer, Zündapp and NSU are not only entire vehicles, but such trend-setting detail solutions as the Porsche torsion bar suspension.
1933:
For Auto Union, Porsche develops a Grand Prix racecar with a 16-cylinder engine in mid-ship configuration. The rear-engine vehicle concept designed for the compact car (Type 32) developed for NSU is ultimately incorporated in the Volkswagen Beetle.
1934:
The company Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche KG receives an official order for the design and construction of a German Volkswagen. Only one year later, the VW prototype is test driven. The ‘Ur Beetle’ is assembled in the garage of the Porsche villa in Stuttgart.

Audi fans in Denver, Colorado, recognize the Audi A8 as the full-size luxury executive car built by German automaker Audi. First brought to the market in 1994, most versions of the Audi A8 feature quattro all-wheel-drive as standard equipment, and come with Multitronic or Tiptronic automatic transmission. The 2008 Audi A8 is largely a carryover version styled to blend into the Audi lineup. Inside, it’s impeccably detailed, and the Audi A8’s cabin is as “handsome and spacious” as ever, Edmunds believes. Automobile.com calls it “conservative as the lobby of a Ritz-Carlton hotel,” with careful lines, lots of wood, and leather.
There are two versions of the A8, Audi’s large luxury sedan—a standard car and the A8 L, which has a 121-inch wheelbase, slightly more than 5 inches bigger than that of the base model, according to Cars.com. Both are penned not to offend. Automobile.com phrased it the best: “Aesthetically, Audi took the safe road when it penned the second-edition A8.” Audi, the magazine says in its online site, has designed a “well-proportioned” car that’s “subdued,” and praises its “long, arc-shaped roofline and the familial front end.”
As Car and Driver points out, changes for the 2008 Audi A8 are minimal; other than LED turn signals and taillights, new wheels, and interior/exterior finish options, there’s very little to distinguish the 2008 Audi A8 from its 2007 predecessor on the outside. TheCarConnection.com’s editors think the A8 Audi is one of the most refined-looking vehicles on the road. The exterior shape is enduring; inside the A8, Audi’s instrument panel looks remarkably clean and simplified compared to the excess of lines and gadgets in the latest Benz S-Class or BMW 7-Series.

Some Colorado Audi enthusiasts may be aware that the 2008 Audi A5 is a new mid-size sporty coupe that shares mechanical underpinnings with the upcoming 2009 Audi A4 sedan. The Audi A5 was unveiled simultaneously at the Geneva Motor Show and Melbourne International Motor Show on March 6, 2007.
To look at the 2008 Audi A5, it’s difficult to believe that it’s considered entry level. It is what chief Audi stylist Walter de Silva deems “the most beautiful car I have ever designed,” and it had a Jalopnik reviewer drooling when he caught a glimpse of it on a California highway, calling it “simply smashing.”
Edmunds calls it “curvaceous yet muscular,” while Cars.com says it’s “instantly recognizable as an Audi.” Car and Driver feels the 2008 Audi A5 has something for everyone: “Mature proportions that will please the dandy, sate the sports-car enthusiast, and offend no one.” Kelley Blue Book concurs that the A5 is “elegant” inside and out. ForbesAutos declares the A5’s “wide shoulder lines, high beltline and massive trapezoidal front grille” are a success, and that its back end kicks up subtly to “preserve a clean aesthetic.” The overall look “strikes a balance between timeless elegance and dramatic flair.”
Inside, the 2008 Audi A5 feels lavish and luxurious, with high-grade materials and plenty of attention to small design details. The display screen for Audi’s Multi-Media Interface (MMI) dominates the top of the instrument panel. The interior is “more sporty than luxurious,” according to ConsumerGuide, but retains “a classy driving environment–functional and comfortable, cool but not overstyled,” Automobile observes.

Established Colorado Porsche dealership Prestige Imports reaffirms its commitment to excellence in Porsche Cayenne sales and service in the Colorado Rocky Mountain region
Denver, Colorado, September 19, 2008 - Colorado Porsche dealer Prestige Imports has announced its renewed commitment to providing an outstanding customer experience in connection with the sales and service of Porsche Cayenne SUVs. Longstanding Denver, Colorado area Porsche dealer Prestige Imports has provided attentive customer service to its loyal customer base from its location on Colfax Avenue in Lakewood dating back from the early 1970s. The Porsche dealership enjoys a reputation throughout Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region as a reputable and trusted dealership that provides a high quality experience for Porsche Cayenne sales and service customers.
In the words of CarConnection.com “the 2008 Porsche Cayenne gets a slightly different look, with new front and rear styling, including more contoured taillamps, with LED versions to distinguish the turbo. All 2008 Porsche models retain the recognizable smooth Porsche snout and lower air dam in front and prominent dual exhausts in back.” The Detroit News says “the subtle changes create a more sophisticated look,” thanks to the fact that “the turn signal indicators have been removed from the headlight assembly and lowered onto the grille.” Kelley Blue Book reviewers note that the redesign serves a “functional sense” as well as a styling one, since the new features bring “an aerodynamic benefit” as “the coefficient of drag has been lowered substantially offering potential fuel economy benefits.”
The 2008 Porsche Cayenne comes standard with a wide array of safety features. Edmunds reviewers report “antilock disc brakes are standard” on all Porsche 2008 Cayenne models, “as are front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags.” To that list, Cars.com adds “an electronic stability system” comes standard on each and every Porsche Cayenne. Kelley Blue Book notes that “Porsche Stability Management (PSM)” is standard; it “guards against rollover and increases the effectiveness of the brakes on loose and slippery surfaces.”
The Colorado Porsche dealer is open Monday through Saturday. Additional information about Prestige Imports and its inventory of Porsche automobiles is available at the company’s website at www.prestigeimports.net or the company blog at www.prestigeimportsblog.net.
