chrysler lhs affordable luxury wfjcender november 271993 p19 jim robinson metroland car critic when i drove chryslers makeit or breakit lh sedans in eagle vision tsi and chrysler concord last year i made the point that how the lh was received so would go the fate of the company most of canadas autowriters were agog over the lh for 1993 it was picked as car of the year by the auto motive journalists association of canada at our annual car of the year coy driver offs at shannonville race way park last october this year the lh in new yorker mode is reentered in best luxury car over 28000 at the coy event up g camm dodge chrysler follows the golden rule markham dodge chrysler has made a commitment to its customers to provide good service with fair and com petitive prices it must be working because in its 10 years in business the dealership has established a dedicat ed following of satisfied customers who always come backformore the people of markham have been great with us theyve supported us from the beginning and we really appreciate it owner john longman said markham dodge chrysler is a full service dealership with a few extras that really make a difference take for example the shuttlebus service which picks up and drops off customers whose vehicles are being serviced for added customer convenience the service department is open tuesdays and thursdays unfii 800 pm we treat customers the way we would want to be treat ed if we were buying cars said longman he noted that because the dealerships main focus is on leasing cars they get to know a lot of local families were not a high pressure kind of place we want peo ple to be able to come in and feel comfortable he said to this exemplary level of service add the best most desirable product chrysler has ever made and you have a winning combination that has brought back many repeat chryslers vehicles offer true value longman pointed out with modem high tech styling and the latest safety in addition to markham dodge chrysler longman also owns longmans collision on laidlaw blvd in markham as well markham jeep eagle on main si m against the bmw 740ia cadillac sedan devillecon- cours sedan jaguar xji2 lexus gs 300 mercedes- benz cclass and the infiniti 045 can the upmarket oneyearold lh cut it in such heady offshore and homegrown luxo heavyweights with pedigrees going back decades and in the case of the mercedes more than a century the lhs model is entered in best new performance sedan and it has made it to the short list up against the saab 900 and the volvo turbo the winners will be announced december 7 chrysler provided the lhs version of the new yorker which is the topline model the only option i believe being a trunkmounted cd changer list price for the entry level new yorker is 29990 while the lhs tops out at 35020 by way of comparison with its coy competitors the jaguar xj 12 retails at 92500the fteshenedup q45 at 68500 so in terms of price it certainly is attractive but does it measure up in terms of luxury the lhs is externally a knockout particularly from rear threequarters on which emphasizes the roof line lifted from the jaguar mk vii salon a friend of mine used to have a tatty old mk vii in the mid60s we used to drive from windsor to detroit ostensively to seek a higher education but actually to sample the delights of the preriot motor city the jag was slow its 38litre twin cam inline six just barely allowing us to chuffie along the lhs uses chryslers topline 35litre twin cam v6 and the tech nology and metallurgical gains in 40 years show the lhs produces 214 hp from 215 cubic inches certainly a number any carmaker could be proud of not to mention 221 ftlbs of torque unlike that old jag this chryco has power all the way through its operating range its not a dragster like the dodge viper but a touring car thus it comes up to speed swiftly if not dramatically which is what the target market of the 4555 male making 80000- 10000 wanted in overdrive i never got close to topend the 100 kmh speed limit never getting the needle out of the bottom third of the tachometer and that impressed me too externally the lhs is almost six inches longer than the eagle vision tsi i drove last year most of that is actually in the trunk making the rear much bigger in length would be overkill its already almost too big the front seats are also large but require finetuning by see page 21 i i 16 ing it right eflgoodwrench unionville 0 service auto service with a plus serving the markhamunionville area the home of red c service motors 4771666
