    Showroom and Tell: Filbert and the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

    We are in the throes of 2015 models arriving at our dealerships, and one model we especially appreciate is the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class. As the brand’s most popular class (besides the upper class, ha ha), most times you see a Mercedes-Benz on the road or parked somewhere, odds are that it’s a C-Class. That much…

  • New Camera Technology from Continental Shows You Around

    Stateside, the first thing that comes to mind when someone hears “Continental” is probably “breakfast.” More bookish types might say “drift.” When we’re playing this word association game in the context of cars, you’ll probably jump instead to “tires.” Continental Tire is based in that asylum masquerading as a state to our south, and many…

  • Real People Matter: Kim Visits Leith Acura in Cary

    Leith Cars, every Tuesday, posts Real People Matter. This is an opportunity for you to read other consumers’ experiences at our dealerships. With more than thirty across the eastern part of North Carolina, it’s an arduous task to hear about all of these positive interactions. We are fortunate, though, that websites like DealerRater.com exist, considering…

  • Best in Class: A BMW Fit for a King

    On a beautiful Friday afternoon in North Carolina, why not celebrate a beautiful car? Our Best in Class post of the week is from Leith BMW‘s blog, a feature on Elvis Presley’s 1957 BMW 507. Enjoy. Throwback Thursday is a day to honor instant classics, and perhaps no one knew more about instant classics than…

  • Showroom and Tell: The 2015 Acura TLX

    Since it just reached dealerships here in North Carolina within the past week, there is no better vehicle to highlight for Showroom and Tell than the 2015 Acura TLX. Critics gushed over it at the Detroit Auto Show, and consumers clamored for its release. Distribution of the all-new sedan was delayed for nearly two months…

  • Zero to Sixty: Jaguar’s Gorgeous Missing Six E-Types

    Why are cars dramatic? Somewhere at the world’s beginning cavemen chipped these words into stone: “Car videos need drums. And strings. And brass horns. And anthemic vocals. And repeated reminders that Nothing Will Ever Be The Same.” Although cavemen at that time didn’t even know what “videos” or “cars” were, they were wise beyond their…

  • RPM: Leith Chrysler Jeep Passes the Test of Time

    Regular readers of our Tuesday column have probably noticed that we have a lot of satisfied Jeep customers in the Leith Cars family. It could be that Jeepers know exactly what they want and how they want it, or maybe they’re naturally easy-going people. We like to think it has a lot to do with…

  • Fully Detailed: Autopark Chrysler Jeep in Cary

    There’s a hot buzzword flying around the nation’s capital: “economic patriotism.” We at Leith Cars would like to borrow that phrasing for this week’s Fully Detailed. Few things are more American than Chrysler and Jeep – both are icons of our culture. The most appropriate question to ask is… What shows more economic patriotism than…

  • Best In Class: A Thoughtful Look Into the Plight of Texting And Driving

    The frontier of dangerous driving is texting, an action which is devoted to taking your eyes off the road and focusing on a tiny screen for just two seconds, okay maybe five, which is plenty of time for horrific consequences to occur. Those of us fortunate to have hands-free texting in our cars via Bluetooth…

    Showroom and Tell: The 2015 Lincoln MKC

    Today is Thursday, so it’s time to cash in on the past three days of indirect vehicular verbiage and just spend one post talking about a car we’re really excited about in our Showroom and Tell column. Today that car is the 2015 Lincoln MKC, available now at Leith Lincoln in Raleigh. The MKC is…
