The Suzuki Swift is getting a dramatic update for its latest model, and the company recently unveiled the new look in advance of the International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany, in September. The car has an updated, sleek look that will likely appeal to a younger generation.

The company announced that this is the first major update for the model since 2006, when the Swift Sport first launched. While maintaining its compact size, Suzuki says that the car's exterior will have much different appearance.

"It has a more aggressive and dignified exterior look thanks to a ground-hugging form that gives a sense of stability and tension and a big front grille that evokes sporty performance," the company said.

However, the look isn't the only thing that will be different about the new Swift. It will also include a 1.6-liter engine that will offer more power while still maintaining high fuel-efficiency.

Drivers looking to get behind the wheel of a Suzuki or any other car will want to check out New Jersey Auto Auction, which has plenty of makes and models for sale at an affordable price.

Although the U.S. is still mired in economic uncertainty, consumers became more likely to buy a new or used car this summer, as several makes and models have enjoyed a good few months. USA Today reports that many fun-to-drive cars are flying off lots.

At the top of the list is the sporty Kia Soul. In July, sales of the care jumped an impressive 26 percent. Even more surprising is that, compared to units sold in January, its figures were up 90 percent. Experts believe the momentum will continue into next year as the manufacturers have worked on improving gas mileage and giving the car a sportier feel.

According to the news source, Volkwagen has also seen a summer sales surge. Specifically, the GTI version of the Golf is especially popular as the GTI model made up 40 percent of all Golf sales.

Also enjoying a resurgent season is the Jeep Wrangler, with a 43 percent jump in July sales compared to 2010.

Whether looking for a fuel-efficient Kia or an attractive Volkwagen GTI, New Jersey Auto Auction has plenty of makes and models at affordable prices.

Despite an auto industry that is still feeling the effects of the recent economic downturn, one manufacturer in particular has enjoyed an especially good year. Chrysler recently announced that its sales were up 20 percent in July compared to last year, the 16th consecutive month of improvement.

Though overall sales were up for the company, USA Today reports it was Jeep that led the way. The brand was up 46 percent compared to last July, and the classic Wrangler saw a 43 percent gain.

Reid Bigland, head of U.S. sales, as well as CEO of the Dodge brand, attributes the boost in sales to the company's change in focus.

"I think that statistic is the ultimate testament to the progress we have made with our product in the areas of fuel economy, quality and design," Bigland said in a statement.

Whether looking to get behind the wheel of a Dodge Durango or a Jeep Grand Cherokee, drivers should turn to New Jersey Auto Auction, which offers many makes and models at affordable prices.

Orleans County, Vermont, includes the hometown of Henry Leland, who founded both Cadillac and Lincoln. So, it comes as no surprise that in an effort to create some publicity for the upcoming county fair, organizers hope to achieve the Guiness World Record for the largest parade of Cadillacs.

The New York Times reports that the idea was the brainchild of Lorie Seadale, who decided on giving the record a try after reading the the current record was just 102 cars. The idea also appealed to Leland's great, great nephew, David, who still lives in the area.

"Since there is a record, we feel it ought to be in Vermont," he told the Times over the phone. "It is a great opportunity to recognize some of his accomplishments."

The parade is set to hit Route 5 in Vermont on August 17, and by all accounts the record should fall. There are about 3,200 Cadillacs registered in Vermont, so attracting the number will likely not be a problem.

Cadillac itself has also gotten involved in the parade, as they have said they will put forward the $6,500 it takes to have a Guiness representative come and authorize the record.
