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…

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.

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.
