CHRYSLER CONCORDE LX STANDARD EQUIPMENT
Some reviews about this car
ehicle
2000 Chrysler Concorde LX 4dr Sedan
Review
Bought the car in 2001 with 60,000 miles already on it. He drove it mainly back and forth to work everyday (100 miles) So it racked up miles quickly. In 2006 he gave it to my sister with 260k who promptly ATTEMPTED to destroy it, she knocked out the bottom of the windshield washer fluid reservoir, crashed it into a ditch, backed it up into another car, and fried the A/C jumping it the wrong way. I got it in 09 with 280k. I still runs...and sprints, beautifully. People rap on the engine a lot and admittedly mines broke two, and interior rod snapped but that couldn't stop this car. It doesn't have quite as much acceleration as I would like but it is a massive car. It also gets 31 mpg highway..

Thanks!
I've ordered some Moo Mini Cards and I wrote a small article judging their quality and mentioning how the edges weren't cut as smoothly. Imagine my surprise when I got an E-Mail from Moo apologizing for the quality issues and informing me that they will send me another batch of my Moo Minicards to set it straight. Wow! Impressive customer service. I didn't even send them anything. I guess they are constantly scanning the interweb for comments on the quality of their products. Good job Moo!

Former (yes former) Longs Drug Store located at 35720 Fremont Blvd. in Fremont,CA. The building is now occupied by a CVS Pharmacy. I was rather impressed with the remodel CVS did to the interior of this store, however the lack of employees sure didnt make the remodel noticable to customers. I saw one person leave the line with their basket full of items while two more customers patiently waited it out. There was nobody else opening a register despite it being about 3:00PM on a Saturday afternoon. Seeing the lack of customer service really made me realize that while a remodel seems like a good way to introduce customers to the CVS name the service should be exceptionally well at least to start off. Since Im a Walgreens shareholder I feel like the company (Walgreens) is best off especially with Longs gone and CVS and Rite Aid battling it out for poor customer service in the East Bay Area.

Review
Back in 1986, the Sable was radical. With smooth, aerodynamic contours, a snazzy light bar in place of a grille, and what appeared to be a pillarless roof, it made a strong styling statement. Today's car is a shadow of its former self, reflecting parent Ford Motor Company's uncertainty about what "Mercury" means. Is it a luxurious Ford, a cut-rate Lincoln or something entirely different? Sable is none of these things, but it is a solid value in the mid-size marketplace.
Selecting the Mercury Sable over the Ford Taurus comes down to styling. Which set of headlights and taillights do you like best? Otherwise, the cars are essentially identical. And this isn't a bad thing, mind you, because these are solid choices as far as domestic mid-size cars go.
The Sable is available as a sedan or station wagon in GS or LS form. For 2002, Sable powertrains include a 3.0-liter Vulcan V6 and a 3.0-liter Duratec V6. The main difference between the two is the cylinder heads; the base Vulcan has two valves per cylinder, while the Duratec has four. The four-valve motor makes 200 horsepower while the base engine makes do with 157 horsepower. Both engines meet Low-Emissions Vehicle (LEV) standards in California and 13 Northeastern states.
With the optional Duratec V6 putting the power down through the front wheels, the Sable is actually quite sporting. The engine features a wide power band with tons of low-end torque. Reaching the upper end of the tachometer, the engine emits a nasty growl and a notable amount of torque steer during upshifts.
We give the Sable high marks in the ride and handling department. On the road, the car transmits truly usable feedback to the wheel, letting the driver know what is happening with the tires. The Sable has a compliant suspension with excellent rebound shock valving for spirited canyon driving, yet without the harshness that can render a cross-country drive drudgery. Drive the Sable into a turn, prod the throttle and the car responds in a predictable manner. Yet on the highway, passengers are treated to a comfortably smooth ride.
The Sable has earned a good reputation for safety, thanks to its solid performances in crash testing. Mercury builds on that rep with an Advanced Restraints System (ARS). This system adapts airbag deployment depending upon impact severity, safety-belt usage and driver-seat position. The ARS includes safety-belt pre-tensioners and retractors. Head-and-chest side airbags are optional for front occupants. Other safety goodies include a standard emergency trunk release and available traction control.
Inside, the Sable has power-adjustable accelerator and brake pedals. With the touch of a button, the brake and accelerator pedals can, together, be horizontally adjusted up to 3 inches toward the driver from the standard location to provide added driving comfort for a wider range of drivers. Audio and climate controls are grouped logically and are easy to use thanks to large, square buttons, arranged in a conventional grid. The flip/fold console in the six-passenger Sable folds down flat to the floor allowing easy access to the controls on the lower part of the dashboard.
We've always liked the functionally pleasing Sable and Taurus, but traditionally thought the dynamic and dependable Honda Accord and Toyota Camry outgunned them. Today, the gap is considerably narrower when comparing the Mercury and Ford to the Japanese family sedan benchmarks. Furthermore, you can get a Sable wagon if you desire -- no such choice exists with the Accord or Camry. Now if they just made the wagon's four-wheel disc brakes available on the sedan.

Vehicle Highlights
With the 2009 Dodge Journey, Dodge finally enters the crossover SUV market. Journey slots between Dodge's Nitro and Durango midsize SUVs. Unlike Nitro and Durango, Journey is a car-type SUV that sits lower to the ground and has a less off-road-capable drivetrain and suspension than those vehicles. Journey seats five in base trim, and up to seven with the Flexible Seating Group that includes a 50/50 split third-row seat. Three models are offered. The base SE has a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine and comes only with front-wheel drive. Uplevel SXT and R/T models have a 3.5-liter V6 and are available with front- or all-wheel drive. Base models have 16-inch wheels. Front drive SXTs have 17-inch wheels and a sport suspension. All-wheel-drive SXTs and all R/Ts have 19-inch wheels and a more-performance-oriented suspension. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows, and front side airbags. Storage features include an available flat-folding front passenger seat with an under-cushion storage bin, storage bins in the second-row foot well, and underfloor storage in the cargo area. Also available are second-row seats with built-in child-safety cushions, a beverage-chilling glove box, and a navigation system. Chrysler's uconnect multimedia suite, which has a 20-gigabyte hard drive for storing pictures and digital music files, is optional.
COMPETITION
Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Larger than Compact SUVs, Midsize SUVs offer a mix of car- and truck-type construction, V6 and V8 power, and up to eight-passenger seating. This class also includes crossover vehicles.
Our Best Buy choices are the Chevrolet Traverse, Honda Pilot, GMC Acadia, Mazda CX-9, and Saturn Outlook. Our Recommended picks are the Dodge Journey, Ford Flex, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Toyota Highlander.
New or significantly redesigned models include the Chevrolet Traverse, Dodge Journey, Ford Flex, Kia Borrego, Nissan Murano, and Toyota Venza. The Hummer H3 adds a crew-cab pickup truck bodystyle for 2009, while the Dodge Durango adds a gas/electric hybrid model.

With attention to detail as their claim to fame, Lauderdale Lake Chicago prides themselves on personal customer relationships. “Our customers are all known by name and are treated like family,” explained Don Schnurr, Sales Manager at Lauderdale Lakes Chicago. According to Schnurr, that has been the root of the success Lauderdale Lakes Marina in Elkhorn, WI has enjoyed for over 30 years. He has the Chicago store on the same path and he believes this dedication to customer service is producing the same result.
Opened in January of 2011, Lauderdale Lakes Chicago consists of a 10,000 square foot dealership on seven acres. The Lauderdale Lakes Marine family of owners were the reason for the additional facility and they were considered at every step from concept to design to construction. The Illinois address gives many existing Lauderdale Lakes Marine customers access to the high caliber of service and products they are accustomed to, near their homes. The Prairie Grove property was designed for easy entry and exit even when trailering a boat. The showroom was even built with heated floors to make new and returning customers as comfortable as possible when they visit.
Lauderdale Lakes Chicago is staffed with 11 dedicated individuals who personify the Lauderdale Lakes motto, "Our success depends on the satisfaction of everyone who walks through the door. That is our goal and we strive to make it happen every day." From an experienced and certified service department to knowledgeable friendly sales people, Lauderdale Lakes Chicago employees are focused on providing a superior experience before, during and for many years after the sale.
Just like their customer base inspired the Lauderdale Lakes Chicago dealership, Lauderdale Lake Marina cites their owner family as a major factor in their decision to offer Supra Boats at the Prairie Grove location. By adding Supra wakeboard boats to the line-up, Lauderdale Lakes Chicago believes they are able to offer the kind of refined interior experience, pro level performance and decorated customer service that they themselves would build into a water sports boat.
When asked about his newest dealer, Rick Tinker, President of Skier’s Choice, manufacturer of Supra Boats, responded this way. “They know their water sports boats in Northern Illinois so we knew we needed an extremely strong dealer in this area.” Tinker continued, “Lauderdale Lakes was a perfect choice for this market, because of their longstanding relationship with Supra, and their proven customer service track record.”

Moomba Boats @MoombaBoats is being recognized for outstanding customer service for the 7th year in a row with the 2012 Marine Industry CSI Award from NMMA.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) announced Moomba Boats as a recipient of the 2012 Marine Industry CSI Award today. That makes it 7 years in a row for this performance oriented “No Worries” water sports boat brand. Moomba Boats, is the only value-class inboard wake boat brand recognized on its own for excellence in customer satisfaction, as part of NMMA’s Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) program.

Moomba Boats will be acknowledged during the annual Industry Breakfast at the 2012 International Boat Builders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Marine Industry CSI Awards program honors participating manufacturers that actively measure customer satisfaction and pursue continuous improvement to better serve the customer. Award recipients achieved and maintained an independently-measured standard of excellence of 90 percent or higher in customer satisfaction over the past year, based on information provided by customers purchasing a new boat or engine during the period between April 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012. Participating manufacturers must survey all new boat buyers during this period. For this reporting period, the program surveyed more than 32,000 consumers.
“The fact that a value-class water sports boat brand can earn a customer service award like this is pretty amazing,” explains Rick Tinker, President of Skier’s Choice. “But to do it 7 years in a row? That is a first! Moomba was the only stand-alone value- performance brand to win this year, let alone seven times.”
The exclusive power plant for Moomba Boats, Indmar Marine Engines, was also the only manufacturer in their segment to earn this coveted customer service award.
“It is an honor to recognize these manufacturers for their outstanding focus on the creation of quality products and an enjoyable customer experience,” notes Terry Leitz, NMMA’s director of CSI programs. “Recipients of the CSI Awards are leading the recreational boating industry forward by ensuring feedback from their customers is an integral part of their planning and manufacturing functions.”
On Saturday afternoon my daughter and I swung by the Cheesecake Factory for a to-go dinner in between a spa appointment and my son’s football scrimmage. I got my favorite entrée, Jamaican Pepper Shrimp, and she got a chicken dish. Because I believe in loving myself, I also ordered a slice of key lime cheesecake.
I was heartbroken to get home to find my key lime cheesecake was not in the bag...but Cheesecake Factory managed to save the day and strengthen my loyalty in the process. Read my blog post to see how Cheesecake Factory WOWed me!
