HOW PREVIEW 2019 WORKS FOR YOU

Wheelbase Media has helped newspapers make more than $94 million in advertising dollars with our cornerstone product. So, what are you waiting for? Rev up your automotive revenue with Preview 2019, a full suite of content to build your own fall new-vehicle guide or other custom publication. The base package provides the nuts and bolts: about 200 write-ups (about 250 words each, including pricing and specs) of the brand-new, heavily revised and popular vehicles available at dealerships for the 2019 model year. That’s Acura to Volvo (minus low-volume vehicles and exotics), with multiple photos of each vehicle. To create a full-on custom product, such as a 2019 new-vehicle guide, just add our expertly designed covers as well as our feature stories (samples below). We’ve thought of everything, including page flags and even small icons to showcase the brand-new vehicles for 2019.

Other uses include: Category guides (separate the content into SUV, luxury vehicles and trucks, for example, and building a rollover/multiple-insertion ad program); use throughout the year in your regular weekly auto pages.

Online use: Build a searchable database as a massive content repository for your website.

Note: For new-vehicle news throughout the year and not just the fall, sign up to our AutoXpress news service or our weekly features.

Volkswagen Atlas

STATUS: New for 2018 — We’ve been lulled into complacency, at least when it comes to the price we pay for fuel. And the proof includes the growing numbers of new and remodeled mid- and full-size utility vehicles coming on stream. Joining this burgeoning segment for the 2018 model year is Volkswagen’s Tennessee-built seven-passenger Atlas. The largest VW in the fleet actually appears much bigger than the tape measure otherwise indicates. Perhaps that’s due to the wide and thin grille, the bulging fenders or the vehicle’s boxy shape (or a combination of all three). Among the Atlas’s endearing qualities is an abundance of space throughout all three rows of seats. The left and right halves of the split-folding second-row bench can be independently reclined by up to 14 degrees, and adjusted forward and back by nearly eight inches, providing extra legroom when needed or easier access to the generously sized third row. Cargo space is also spacious and a 5,000-pound towing capacity is near the top of the class. Engine choices begin with a turbocharged 235-horsepower four-cylinder, while optional is a non-turbo 276-horsepower V-6 Both drink regular gasoline, but the 2.0 requires premium for maximum performance. Volkswagen’s 4Motion All-wheel-drive can be added, but only to V-6 models. As an added inducement, VW has made a six-year basic warranty standard for all models.

Base price (incl. destination): $31,400

Engines (h.p.): 2.0-liter I-4, turbocharged (235); 3.6-liter V-6 (276)
Transmission: Eight-speed automatic
Layout: Front- /all-wheel-drive
Base MPG (city/highway): 17/23 (3.6)
Base weight (lb.): 4,710
