Jeep Compass
Jeep is exploring new territory with the 2007 Compass — an all-new compact SUV featuring a sleek and sophisticated take on traditional Jeep styling. It’s also the first front-wheel drive Jeep, although a full-time all-wheel drive system designed for slippery surfaces rather than off-roading is also available. The 2-wheel-drive model equipped with the 2.4-liter World Engine and 5-speed manual transaxle achieves 30 miles per gallon on the highway.

Jeep Wrangler
Jeep is the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of the SUV market and for 2007 has seven models – the most ever in the 65-year history of Jeep vehicles. The all-new Wrangler builds on the original, hugely-successful Jeep formula with an all-new exterior, interior, frame, engine and perhaps the most significant addition -- the new Wrangler Unlimited, the first-ever 4-door Wrangler featuring open-air design and room for five adult passengers.

Kia Optima
Kia’s Optima is a mid-size sedan that underwent a major re-design earlier this year. Safety features include six airbags with full-length side-curtain airbags. Engine choices include a 2.4-liter, 161 horsepower 4-cylinder and a 2.7-liter, 185 horsepower V-6. A 5-speed automatic transmission is standard on most models. Like all Kia models, the Optima is built at the company’s Hwasung manufacturing facility in South Korea.
