I'd Probably Subscribe To This
Dallas luxury group dives into subscription market
One unique aspect of the Park Place Select service is that it
offers unlimited flips, or vehicle switches, and the price includes
pickup and delivery in the DFW metropolitan area, Evans said.
For
$895 a month at the Prime tier, subscribers have their choice of
popular vehicles from Mercedes, Lexus, Volvo, Jaguar and Land Rover that
come with insurance, maintenance and unlimited mileage.
The vehicle choices represent a mix of sedans, crossovers and
SUVs, and subscribers can pick one using a smartphone application
developed in partnership with Atlanta-based Clutch Technologies, which
also supports the Flow and Porsche programs.
"The pricing
that we have reflects all those elements and I think is very well in
line with what would be the typical cost structure of one of those
vehicles," Evans said.
Climbing up to the $1,395 payment at
the Prime level brings higher-end vehicles from those manufacturers plus
an entree into the Porsche brand with the Macan crossover.
The
highest Premium tier at $1,795 gives subscribers access to the Maserati
Ghibli sedan, Levante crossover, AMG models from Mercedes, two
additional Porsches and the Range Rover Sport and Velar.

This Will Yenko Your Chain (& Wallet)
Yenko Stage II Camaro makes 1000 horsepower
Because three-digit horsepower is for losers.
Now available to be ordered at a Chevrolet dealer, the Yenko/SC Supercharged Stage II Camaro boasts a 6.8-liter LT1 teased all the way up to 1000 horsepower and 875 lb-ft of torque. Developed by Specialty Vehicle Engineering, the aluminum block engine has a forged 4340 steel crankshaft and H-beam rods, forged aluminum pistons and ported LT4 heads, plus a supercharger and a stainless steel header and exhaust setup.
The Yenko Stage II Camaro makes easy work of beating a standard 6.2-liter Camaro SS, which "only" has 455 hp and 455 lb-ft from factory. There's also Magnetic Ride Control, an electronic LSD, Brembo brakes and a suspension upgraded to withstand all that power. All in all, it's an impressive package that should actually be well done given that the engine, supercharger and non-powertrain components are all backed by a three-year/36,000 mile warranty. If you want one, it's best to act fast as only 25 will be made. Then again, pricing has yet to be announced.
