Introducing the all-new 2012 M-Class. Ahead of its time, by any measure.
Perhaps the world's most advanced SUV, the third-generation M-Class features advanced technology so fast, you have to slow it down just to follow along.
From the broad swaths of sustainably forested wood trim to the impeccable stitching of the hand-fitted upholstery, every surface of the M-Class cabin reflects a deep tradition of caring craftsmanship and attention to your senses - of touch, of good taste and of well-being. Standard appointments in the M-Class include the rich glow of Eucalyptus wood trim and the enduring comfort of supple MB-Tex upholstery. For an elevated sense of indulgence, soft full-grain leather seating and the warm grain of Burl Walnut wood are optional. Either way, the hand-fitted upholstery and hand-finished wood reflect a deep tradition of finely tailored luxury. A large, high-resolution color screen sits high in the dash with an elegant central controller that fits naturally in your hand. Together they offer intuitive access to a suite of advanced technology, from standard Bluetooth to available navigation and countless audio options, that is both easy to master and eager to help you feel at peace with your world.
A new 302-hp 3.5-liter V-6 combines numerous advances to deliver more torque over a wider range of rpm. Its rapid-multispark ignition fires up to four times per millisecond, while new high-pressure Direct Injection microscopically tunes the fuel spray, reducing emissions, fuel consumption and noise. A lightweight diecast-alloy block, quicker and more widely variable valve timing, reduced friction, and clever on-demand ancillary components like the alternator further boost efficiency. The ML350's 7-speed automatic has been made even smoother, more responsive and more efficient. A wide range of closely spaced gear ratios delivers the ideal response in virtually every driving situation, for relaxed cruising, quick acceleration, and thanks to two overdrive ratios, better highway fuel efficiency. Adaptive logic adjusts the shift points to match your driving style, while paddle shifters on the steering wheel let you enjoy manual-style control anytime you wish. In any season or road condition, 4MATIC™ all-wheel drive adds to your confidence and control. Always engaged and optimizing torque to every wheel, 4MATIC integrates with our standard Electronic Stability Program for maximum effectiveness in corners and slippery conditions. It also incorporates our 4-wheel Electronic Traction System, which monitors for the first sign of wheel slip and responds to ensure that torque is always sent to the wheels with the best grip -- even if that's only one wheel.

Audi redefines luxury and sport with the new A6, A7 and A8
2012 Audi A6
Lighter. Faster. More efficient. The new 2012 A6 is the best version yet of a best-in-class vehicle. A lighter steel-aluminum construction increases performance, efficiency and safety while options like Audi quattro® all-wheel drive and Audi drive select make it capable on any road. The 2012 A6 exemplifies the progressive executive sedan.
The new A6 is unapologetically powerful. Producing 310hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, the all-aluminum Audi 3.0 L TFSI® supercharged V6 is nothing short of remarkable. With peak torque available from 2,900 to 4,500rpm, power is available at any speed. And, the four vane Roots-style supercharger helps this motor achieve V8 power and torque with the efficiency of a V6.
For the first time, the 2.0 TFSI power plant makes its way into the Audi A6. By combining Variable Valve timing, Audi valve lift system, Audi TFSI direct injection and turbo charging technologies, this engine can achieve more power with greater efficiency. The result? 33 mpg on the highway, 211hp and 258 lb-ft of torque at your command.
2012 Audi A7
Audi is targeting a new vehicle class with the new A7. This large, elegant five-door model unites the emotion-packed character of a coupe with the comfort and prestige of a sedan and with the functional utility of an Avant. With its lightweight body containing numerous aluminum components, the powerful and highly efficient V6 Supercharged engines, the sporty chassis and the advanced assistance and multimedia systems, it sets standards in many areas all with a surprising base price of $59,250.
The aesthetic appeal of the A7 is tempered by sophisticated luxury. Thoughtful touches like the anatomically contoured Valcona leather seating surfaces remind you that when it comes to luxury, you are literally sitting in the lap of it. Further supporting this notion is the heated, eight-way power adjustable seating and four-way lumbar support for the front passengers. The available heated rear seats and three-stage seat ventilation for front passengers drives the luxury theme home, while the driver-oriented cockpit ensures that the necessities are all at your fingertips incusing Audi Connect which allows you to synch up to eight wireless devices.
2011 Audi A8
A new benchmark in the luxury vehicle category has been set with the all new Audi A8. The A8 flagship is all-new and completely redesigned, representing the best in engineering, technology, design and performance. The all new A8 has moved luxury forward, solidifying the Audi commitment to excellence and refusal to settle for anything less.
Even the base version of the Audi flagship model includes a broad range of advanced features, such as an efficient 8-speed Tiptronic® transmission and the next-generation of the Audi MMI® system with the industry exclusive MMI touch technology. The touchpad feature with handwriting recognition allows motorists to conveniently enter multimedia, navigation and communications commands. The most luxurious Audi sedan comes with the brand's signature quattro all-wheel-drive technology and aluminum ASF® construction.
While the new Audi A8 provides an unprecedented degree of driving comforts and innovations, it also reflects the work that Audi engineers have invested into maximizing efficiency without sacrificing any driving performance. In fact, the 2011 Audi A8 achieves 17 mpg in the city/ 27 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg combined, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. That puts the fuel economy of the 2011 Audi A8 on par with the Mercedes-Benz S400 hybrid. It's also better than the fuel-economy numbers for the BMW 7-Series hybrid and 6-cylinder models.
At the same time, the V8 engine in the 2011 Audi A8 produces 372 horsepower and an ample 328 lb-ft. of torque. Available quattro sport differential with mechanical torque vectoring further enhances the performance handling of this luxurious car.
These new Audi models are in stock now. Let our sales staff assists you today with any questions you may have concerning the new A6, A7 or A8 today, call 1-800-952-4007 for more information.

New 2012 Fiat 500 "Pink Ribbon" Edition Proceeds Benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation
The FIAT Brand is excited to announce the
introduction of the 2012 Fiat 500 "Pink Ribbon" limited-edition model. Produced
in partnership with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF),
the collaboration allows breast cancer awareness advocates to express their
support for the cause in modern iconic Italian style.
"We are honored to partner with an upstanding organization like The Breast
Cancer Research Foundation that supports a cause so important to our consumers
and our company," said Laura Soave, Head of FIAT North America. "The Fiat 500
Pink Ribbon edition offers our FIAT consumers a unique and stylish way to
express their support, help fund breast cancer research and ultimately drive
change."
Through the partnership, 250 Fiat 500 Pink Ribbon limited-edition vehicles will
be available at FIAT Studios in October. Through the sales of the Fiat 500 Pink
Ribbon model, FIAT will donate $1,000 per purchase, with a minimum of $50,000
contribution to BCRF. BCRF is dedicated to preventing breast cancer and finding
a cure in our lifetime by funding clinical and translational research
worldwide.
"At The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, we are constantly looking for ways
to further breast cancer awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness month and
beyond," said Myra J. Biblowit, BCRF President. "The partnership with FIAT is
especially exciting as it allows breast cancer supporters to literally drive
awareness for the cause year round. We are extremely appreciative of FIAT's
collaboration in this effort as the brand's contributions will help fund
innovative research that will advance the fight against breast cancer
worldwide."
About the 2012 Fiat 500 Pink Ribbon Edition
Designed exclusively for FIAT Brand's partnership with BCRF, the new 2012
Fiat 500 Pink Ribbon limited-edition model features several exclusive design
elements that highlight the Cinquecento's iconic silhouette.
Based on the highly stylized 2012 Fiat 500 Lounge model, the Pink Ribbon
limited-edition is available in Argento (silver) and Bianco (white) exterior
paint colors and features a signature dark pink bodyside stripe with "500" logo
and an accenting "ribbon" in light pink.
The interior of the Fiat 500 Pink Ribbon adds to the 500 Lounge model's already
stylish interior with unique pink accents contrasting the Nero (black)
interior. Highlighting this limited-edition model are Nero leather front and
rear seats with pink accent stitching on the perimeter and signature "500" logo
embroidered on the front seatbacks and a pink ribbon embroidered on the floor
mats. For added detail, pink accents are hand-stitched through the Nero leather
steering wheel and provide additional contrast in front of the body-color
instrument panel bezel.
And to match this specially appointed Cinquecento, a pair of
uniquely designed Fiat 500 Pink Ribbon key fobs provide customers with a
personal reminder of the FIAT Brand and BCRF's partnership to find a cure.
Only 250 Fiat 500 Pink Ribbon limited-edition models will be available and Walter's Fiat will have several in-stock. Call today to schedule your test drive at Walter's Fiat at 1-800-952-4007.
August Employee Spotlight Derrick Lynn
This month's spotlight is on Derrick Lynn the Service Director of the brand new Walter's Fiat. This Fiat location may be new but Derrick is a 33 year seasoned veteran in the automotive world just like his father before him. Derrick started in the automotive world right out of high school and began his apprenticeship with a local Mercedes-Benz dealership. He worked his way up and finally became a full Service Technician. His career path then took him to be Service Technician at an independent location where he had to work on the cars as well as talk to the customers. He enjoyed the customer interaction so much that he knew that someday is real calling would be in front of customers. Derrick's next position was with Walter's where he became one of the most trusted service advisors at the store.
Derrick has been with Walter's for 13 years and became known as someone who could figure things out and see projects through so when in 2008 Walter's opened a smart franchise he was tapped to be the smart center's service go to person, which he has done by exceeding all expectations. Now, a new challenge has arisen and once again Derrick is leading the way for establishing the service center for Walter's Fiat.
Recently, Derrick is often asked one question more times than any other and that is how customers can get more out of a gallon of gas. He replies that the three best ways to maximize your fuel efficient are; to maintain proper tire pressure, clean spark plugs and clean air filters.
Derrick is married with four children to Karen, who just happens to work over at the Mercedes-Benz store. When not working Derrick and Karen are outdoors enthusiasts who like trap shooting, mountain biking or playing paintball with their four sons.

I am writing this letter to inform you of the excellent and professional service given to me by Dana Clayton. I recently purchased an Audi R8 from Walters. Dana and I exchanged several emails. In all correspondence he was informative and very helpful. When I finally came in for a test drive Dana was very courteous and non aggressive in his dealing with me. He even had me come back and test drive the car again just so he could spend more time in letting me feel comfortable with the vehicle. Never once did I feel rushed....on the contrary Dana went out of his way to make it a fun experience. When I finally decided to pull the trigger Dana brought the car to my house and spent at least an hour just going over the inside workings of all bells and whistles.....He set up my garage opener and bluetooth for the phone and never appeared to be rushed. I spoke with a friend of mine who had bought an R8 from the desert dealer and when I told him how great Dana was he just commented that he wished his salesman had been as thorough. You are very fortunate to have someone Of Dana's caliber on your staff and I feel very fortunate to have had him as my salesman. I might mention that I had bought a car from you folks back in 1999 and at that time was not happy with how I was treated . If it had not been for Dana I might have gone shopping elsewhere.
Sincerely
Dennis Scott
