The Crossover That Crosses Lines

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Sure, Hassett specializes in showcasing the latest models from America’s top automakers, so it’s no surprise that Lincoln’s new MKT is gracing our lot – and drawing plenty of attention. The surprise comes when shoppers, after admiring the vehicle from afar, close in and realize exactly what they’re looking at.

That’s … a … Lincoln?

You better believe it, baby. Building upon their contemporary approach to style and performance, Lincoln engineers have produced the hottest seven-passenger crossover yet – a vehicle New York Times auto critic Lawrence Ulrich calls “the best performing, most intriguing Lincoln I’ve driven in years” – and Hassett Has It!

From its patented 3.5-liter Ecoboost ™ twin-turbocharged direct-injection V6 (delivering the performance of a V8 with better fuel economy) to its Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system (automatically shifting torque in slippery conditions to the wheels with the most traction), this vehicle was built to perform. From its standard Vista roof to its graceful split-wing grille, it was built to shine.

And from its SecuriCode ™ invisible keypad and Intelligent Access push-button starter to its adaptive HID headlights and the ultrasonic sensors of its Active Park Assist system, the 2010 Lincoln MKT is stocked with bells and whistles – not to show off the latest technologies, but to create the most advanced, most comfortable driving experience possible.

Speaking of comfort, no luxurious Lincoln experience would be complete without premium leather-trimmed seats, touch-screen controls, three climate zones, voice-activated phone and navigation systems, available THX II Certified Audio … the list goes on.

Featuring “Mercedes-level quiet” in the cabin and overall performance that’s “decisively faster and better-handling than the competing Audi Q7 V8,” according to the New York Times, it’s the sexiest, best-performing crossover to hit the streets in years – and Hassett has yours right now.

Come see the professional sales consultants at Hassett of Wantagh and experience the sensation of the 2010 MKT today! 

 

 

The 2010 Ford Transit Connect has arrived!

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Hassett of Wantagh has always brought its valued customers the latest and greatest models hot off the Ford assembly line. Now Hassett’s doing it again: Introducing the clever and hardworking 2010 Ford Transit Connect, the cargo van that thinks it’s a minivan that thinks it’s a car that thinks it’s a sports car!

But never mind the identity crisis. Bottom line: The Transit Connect is a zippy and customizable combination of best-in-class fuel economy and over 135 cubic feet of cargo space – and Hassett Has It!

 

Easy to drive, easy to park and easy on the wallet (with a MSRP of around $20,780), the 2010 Transit Connect is already emerging as one of Ford’s top cargo choices for small businesses serving clients in the big city or the wide-open countryside.

 

Featuring EPA-estimated gas mileage of 22 city/25 highway, a four-speed automatic transmission with multi-port fuel injection system and “street-smart maneuverability” designed specifically for corners and tight spots, the Transit Connect is powerful and eminently drivable – but that’s only the vehicle’s heart. Now check out its soul.

 

Climb behind the adjustable wheel, notice the available seating for up to five passengers and enjoy amenities like the “smart storage” system keeping everything you need – from morning coffee to invoices – within easy reach, and you’ll not always remember this is a cargo van. But with features like a 1,600-pound payload capacity, all-around access (with near-vertical sidewalls) and a spacious cargo box that can accommodate objects larger than 6 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet, you’ll never forget the Transit Connect is the workhorse you’ve always wanted.

 

And we still haven’t mentioned the Transit Connect’s customizable features: from wall and roof racks to flexible shelving and drawer units, Hassett can help you design a Cargo Management System specific to your needs – interior packages you won’t find anywhere else.
