increase your utility Competition in the luxury crossover vehicle market hits high gear in 2016 as automakers race to introduce new models, technologies and safety features into this fastest growing vehicle segment. Accounting for nearly 25 percent of the market, the deluxe appointments of today’s luxury SUVs rival their traditional full-sized sedan counterparts. Not to be outdone, the luxury car market is still number one when it comes to prestige and comfort.*
2016 BMW X5 xDrive40e The X5 xDrive40e is the first plug-in hybrid production model from the core BMW brand. It combines the versatility and luxurious ambience of a full-sized Sports Activity Vehicle with the superb traction offered by the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system as well as BMW EfficientDynamics eDrive technology for exemplary efficiency. Regardless of the proportion of drive power being sourced from the engine and motor respectively, xDrive ensures optimal traction in all weather and road surface conditions, together with optimized handling stability and increased agility when powering through corners. This newest BMW can travel approximately 13 miles on pure electric power, ideally suited to short commutes and quick trips around town. Working in concert, the gasoline engine and electric motor put US EPA mileage estimates at 55 MPGe.
2016 Lexus RX The all-new RX’s represents a bold evolution in the model’s styling, sharing the same design DNA with other recently launched models in the Lexus lineup. Moreover, this perennial best-selling luxury crossover features hybrid and gasoline powertrains, sophisticated safety features, driver aids and welcome new convenience and technology features to make this one of the best Lexus luxury utility vehicles offering to date. The RX 350 comes standard with a 3.5-liter directinjected V6 gasoline engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The RX 450h hybrid sports the same a 3.5-liter V6 engine and revised hybrid powertrain componentry. The Lexus Hybrid Drive System is enhanced and reengineered to deliver impressive fuel economy, low emissions and excellent on-road performance that will satisfy the most demanding driving enthusiast.
2016 Cadillac CT6 CT6 marks Cadillac’s long-awaited return to the global prestige luxury segment, and is one of eight all-new vehicles the brand will launch by the end of the decade. Cadillac CT6 takes drivers to a higher threshold of involvement, with technologies that make them more aware of their surroundings, chassis systems – including active technologies–that make the most of control in all conditions, and powertrains led by an all-new Cadillac Twin Turbo engine that rewards with stirring power on demand. Cadillac designers aimed to deliver a bold, elegant and spacious interior expressed through curated environments and in surface sculpture featuring authentic materials, exquisite details and elevated executions of the brand’s signature cut-and-sew interiors. The CT6 uses state-of-the-art technology to reward its occupants with high levels of comfort, connectivity and safety. * Information courtesy of respective manufacturers. See dealer for details.

2016 2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder Never before in the history of the Porsche Boxster was a change of generation as comprehensive as on the current generation. The roadster uses a completely new lightweight design body and a completely revamped chassis. Considerably lower weight, a longer wheelbase, a wider track and larger wheels significantly enhance the mid-engine sports car’s driving dynamics, already the best in its class, supported by
the electro-mechanical power steering. The new Boxster models boast superior performance as well as being up to 15 percent more fuelefficient. Two striking elements, known as streamliners, that stretch from behind the head restraints over the long trunk lid, are reminiscent of the 718 Spyder of the 1960s . The classic fabric top still operates manually, and the new car is offered exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission.
2016 Lincoln MKX The all-new Lincoln MKX, in showrooms now, further strengthens Lincoln’s position in the midsize luxury utility segment, one of the largest luxury segments in the United States, representing about one-quarter of the retail luxury automotive market. Proud, wide shoulders, dynamic side undercuts and belt lines and clever touches such as the integrated antenna underscore a sophisticated and powerful appearance. The available full-LED front headlamps are subtly executed as blades, rather than projectors, aligned with the horizontal execution of the Lincoln split-wing grille. The interior blends function with flowing forms to inspire a sense of luxurious adventure. It’s both open and cocoon-like, stunning yet quiet. A 13-speaker Revel system designed for the ultimate audio quality experience is available on the MKX Select and Reserve models.
2016 Tesla Model S D Recently, the Dual Motor Model Tesla P85D achieved the highest score ever in Consumer Reports’ automotive testing history earning 103 out of a possible 100 points. Better than a perfect score. The Dual Motor Model Teslas, the 70D, the 85D and the P85D, offer a categorical improvement on conventional all-wheel drive systems. With two motors, one in the front and one in the rear, Model S digitally and independently controls torque to the front and rear wheels. The result is unparalleled traction control in all conditions. All-wheel drive is available as an option Model S 70D and Model S 85, and standard on the P85D. The high performance rear motor and high efficiency front motor push the P85D from zero to 60 in 2.8 seconds

made in door county Life in the northern part of Door County appears quieter, more peaceful. Nowhere is that more evident than in Ellison Bay. For many residents and visitors alike, it’s a microcosm of all that is Door County. Sunrises and sunsets over the waters of Green Bay, Lake Michigan and Europe Lake, majestic limestone bluffs and pristine state and local parks combine to create Ellison Bay’s bucolic setting. Local apple and cherry orchards share the landscape with artist studios, great restaurants, and quiet country roads. Visitors to the area feel right at home staying in the local summer resort or at a bed and breakfast, while seasonal and year-round residents with classic cottages, retreats, or newer homes frequently welcome family and friends.

Just a short walk from the town on Rustic Lane is where you’ll find this incredible custom four-bedroom post and beam sanctuary. Located on a residential stretch between the Clearing and the Bayview Resort & Harbor, Rustic Lane is known locally as Professor’s Row. The name goes back nearly 100 years when several university professors owned properties on this part of the Ellison Bay shoreline. To this day, many of the families who own cottages or homes on this private road descend from the original owners. The home is a work of art and love inspired by the owners. They were hands on throughout the design process, making it as efficient as possible with right-sized spaces and an incredible array of custom features. In addition, the design of the home is completely handicap and senior accessible. An extensive array of woodwork—from walls, floors and ceilings, to beautiful and functional built-in cabinetry—adds to the natural feel of the home.
