| Upgrade Your Car Now At Pentagon |
August 2010 |
Local car dealer Pentagon have just announced an innovative 'Upgrade' deal which is being offered during a special event aimed at both new and existing customers who currently have a car on finance.
For a limited time only, throughout all Pentagon branches customers will be able to upgrade their current vehicle to a newer and better one for the same or smaller monthly repayments than they currently pay. Pentagon are so confident they can do this, that they are giving away an iPod Touch to anyone they can't do this for (subject to terms and conditions).
The Pentagon Upgrade offer is on now and will run throughout this month. Speaking about the event, Pentagon's spokesperson James Reeve said, 'For a limited time we're offering an exceptional opportunity to all customers. First of all, we'll pay off their existing finance on their current vehicle, then we'll find them a fantastic newer or possibly even a brand new car before arranging a finance package with the same monthly payments or less than they currently pay for up to 9 months. We'll also take the customer's current car in part exchange as well. It all adds up to a great deal'
The Upgrade offer is subject to finance being accepted by an approved Pentagon finance company. Further details are available from any Pentagon showroom or by visit their specially created Upgrade page on their website at www.pentagon-group.co.uk/upgrade.

May 2010 |
The new Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 is the result of one of the most eagerly anticipated automotive collaborations in recent times. The first genuine Cosworth-developed road car since 1996, the latest limited edition Impreza offers performance-car fans the thrill of a lifetime combined with exclusivity – production will be restricted to 75 cars.
The Cosworth-tuned, turbocharged vehicle is one of the world's most accelerative hatchbacks. The renowned 2.5-litre turbocharged 'Boxer' engine is transformed to produce 33 per cent more power, drawing heavily on Cosworth's extensive Formula 1 experience. The engine, which drives all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox, boasts an impressive 400 ps and the new model reaches 62 mph in just 3.7 seconds, going on to cover a quarter mile in 12.75 seconds at a terminal speed of 107 mph. Top speed is limited to 155mph.
The Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 features an extensive range of Cosworth-engineered components in the engine, turbo system, exhaust, suspension, brakes and wheels, plus subtle improvements to the exterior and interior styling to create a truly distinctive high performance car with everyday hatchback practicality.
Available exclusively in the UK in right-hand drive form, the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 is available in a choice of three exterior colours (Spark Silver, Dark Grey and San Remo Red), and is priced from £49,995 on-the-road.
Available to order now at Pentagon Subaru. Call freephone 0800 085 7296 to register your interest. |

April 2010 |
Subaru has announced details of a collaboration with Cosworth which will see the launch of a new high performance Impreza.
The Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 will go on sale at Pentagon Subaru in June.
The new Subarau model will be powered by a 400PS (395bhp) engine capable of 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds and the model will be one of the most "accelerative all-wheel-drive hatchbacks ever".
The car will also feature a bespoke brake package with six-pot callipers and 355mm discs at the front - developed in partnership with AP Racing, the Coventry-based brake and clutch component supplier to F1 teams.
A wide range of further upgrades have been made to the suspension, exhaust and to the donor Impreza's exterior and interior styling. An exclusive, limited edition run of 75 Cosworth Impreza STI CS400s will be produced, and full details of pricing and technical specification will be announced closer to the on-sale date. |
| Subaru Cars Are Among The Worlds Safest |
March 2010 |
Subaru vehicles are among the safest on the road, according to a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in America.
The insurance-industry-backed organisation, which conducted a series of stringent frontal, side, rear and rollover crash tests on a wide variety of vehicles, found that Subaru was the only manufacturer to score enough points to receive its ‘Top Safety Pick’ Award for every model it entered. In pulling off this remarkable crash test coup, the Japanese firm outperformed the likes of Volvo, Volkswagen, Audi, Honda and Ford.
Only vehicles with roofs more than twice as strong as the current minimum standard and fitted with ESP (VDC in Subaru models), were considered for the tests. Previous studies conducted by the institute suggested that, compared with minimum-standard vehicles, cars with stronger roofs reduce the risk of serious and fatal injury in single-vehicle rollovers by about 50 per cent.
“With the addition of our new roof strength evaluation, our crash test results now cover all four of the most common kinds of crashes,” said Institute President, Adrian Lund. “Consumers can use this list to zero-in on the vehicles that are on the top rung for safety. Cars and SUVs that win Top Safety Pick are designs that go far beyond minimum federal safety standards.”
Subaru’s five IIHS Top Safety Pick awards came in four different categories: the New Legacy and Outback were recognised in the Midsize Car group; the Impreza was named in the Small Car category; the Forester was awarded the prize in the Small SUV section; and Tribeca in the Midsize SUV class. |
